Lauren Carpenter

Well I certainly don't want her to leave, and totally agree with you. I think some just want Lauren to leave because they don't like her!

I will admit that I don't like her

Neither do I, but only because of her behaviour. The same applies to Brad. As I've said before, I'd be quite happy for them both to leave together.

I liked her at the start when she returned with her family and Matt, they worked well as a family and had chemistry

I've never been shy about my dislike for Lauren, but that doesn't mean I'm criticising her actions based off of that alone.
When Matt died, within like a month (maybe a little bit more) she was back to being flirty with Brad. There was a reason Therese AND Matt where always feeling cautious about those two. Yes, Therese wasn't perfect and she was out of line a lot of the time, but can you blame her? It's been obvious from the beginning Lauren wanted to be with Brad.

Yes, Amber put up with Brad living at their's for a bit, but if that was me and my kids dad was dead less than a year, I had moved in the one man they all felt threatened by and knew my kid wasn't 100% behind it, I'd tell him he couldn't stay!
He's an adult, he could figure something out. Amber was still grieving her dad, still dealing with the fallout of Daniel and Josh, still dealing with being pregnant, said baby being unwell and Lauren's main focus was Brad.
And if my other kid had a drinking problem, which got worse due to his fathers death, wild horses couldn't keep me from moving away to help him through everything.

Well said, LauBuch!

Do you mean Bailey? Amber even spelt out that her mother's relationship with Brad was part of the reason she wanted to leave...

I've said this time and time again, Matt was no angel before he died. Why wouldn't Lauren move on?

Not sure they were. It developed more when Paige arrived, but that said Lauren and Matt's marriage was on the rocks after Matt's behaviour.
