Maybe we won't see her again until Cooper is back in the lodge. She is dead after all. 

The golden orb may in fact just show that the Giant's plan failed. Laura self destructed. She was only human, after all. 

Just playing devil's advocate ;D

But Laura hasn't failed, she allowed herself to be killed because she didn't want BOB inside her. And as far as we know she was the only one capable of this.

I'm not sure what you mean by "only one capable of this"?  After not allowing Bob inside her, Bob proceeded to kill Maddy and contributed to who knows how much death and destruction while with Mr. C. 

I think Laura and Maddy could simply have been human beings that looked exactly like the spirit force the Fireman created to counter Bob. 

DL and MF had tremendous ability to do some "revisionist history" and introducing the gold globe with Laura's face opened an infinite number of possibilities for how we will be reintroduced to "Laura". 

I mean BOB asked to be inside her but she didn't want it, Leland explained this very well just before he died. She took the ring to kill herself and prevent him from possessing her.

Laura is one of my favourite TP characters (there are so many to choose from!). During these dry TP-less decades I practically learned her diary by heart, having no tapes. Only recently I watched FWWM and my admiration just grew.

My wish (I don't dare to call it a theory) is to see Cooper, in whatever form, "finding" grown-up Sheryl Lee as Ghost Laura, giving her a chance to reunite with the good part of Leland and depart with him (Leland) to the White Lodge. Maybe even re-humanizing Sarah in the process. The Little Girl dispelling the Mother, with the help of love. I'm not being sappy, it's obvious that the theme of love is still very strong in this show, see the Nadine-Ed-Norma scene.

I'm already cushioning myself for the inevitable crushing of my hopes.

theres a big chance this will happen. 

contextually: it seems like laura has open business with the living world

technically: both Lee and Wise won't be going home with only a tiny scene. Every old cast member had a great/big scene. they will too (at minimum).

Any preference in what shoes you d like Laura to be wearing?

Just to play devil's advocate.  If the human Laura was "the One", maybe her intended purpose was to allow Bob inside her and then dominate/control/destroy him rather than allowing him to continue tormenting young women.  Keeping in mind that it was Mike - not the Giant/Fireman - that gave her the ring. 

I am unsure how the Laura Palmer we've seen can be "the One".

If you pay attention to what i wrote you can see i didn't make assumptions on stuff we don't have a clue about. Laura remains the only one we know who could deny BOB to be inside her
I'd call a failure if a good spirit sells his soul, but she didn't

Dunno about that.  Leland also said that, as a child, he invited or allowed Bob to enter him.  That suggested some free will was involved with Bob entering Leland.  Leland also seemed to suggest that Bob wasn't always with him - I interpreted that to mean that Bob could come and go.  Mr. C's comment about Bob still being with him suggests the same. 

We actually don't know much about Bob entering/leaving people and who can/cannot prevent such.

The free will is exactly what i'm talking about, Laura struggled but at the end killed herself to say no. I honestly don't understand what you don't know about...

I don't know about so many things it'd likely make your head spin.  I know mine does.

I think Laura will be Laura played by Sheryl Lee when she finally appears. I don't think she's already around and inhabiting one of the other characters we've seen. 

Agreed. Laura is lost in the Other Place, perhaps held in the same prison Phillip Jeffries is in. This might explain why it looks like the motel.

@sammy: guy in the cell repeating might be Billy?

Honestly I've no idea anymore. Just throwing out an idea. 

It's a popular theory. He fits the "bleeding from nose and mouth" description.

You've seen things. You've been places.

You are feeding my desire to revisit the "Laura faked her own death and returned to TP as Maddie" red herring...
