We the undersigned fans of "The L Word" respectfully request that Lauren Lee Smith be allowed to continue her role as Lara Perkins. Since "The L Word" debuted on January 18th, 2004, many of us have become huge fans of the relationship between Lara Perkins and Dana Fairbanks. We the fans would be very disappointed in the lack of explanation as to the extent of the relationship between Lara Perkins and Dana Fairbanks, if Lauren Lee Smith's character was written off the show.
