Talk:Dorrie Hansen

Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy
Okay, we have a serious problem with the name of John Hansen's wife. When he speaks to her on the phone in Day 4 8:00pm-9:00pm, he clearly calls her "Dorrie." This is confirmed by the closed captioning, although that's not a canon source. The credits for the episode credit her as "Laurie Hansen." This is an OOU source, of course. In the next episode, Meg brings up an LAPD report on her computer screen which gives her name as "Emily Hansen."

So which is it? Dorrie, Laurie or Emily? We can say for sure that the current title, Laurie, is the only one that can be discounted, as it's not an IU source. As for the other two, the facts that we have are that her name is "Emily Hansen" in a police report, but her husband calls her "Dorrie." Perhaps "Dorrie" is a nickname. Unless someone has any points to contribute that I'm missing, the only logical thing to do seems to be to move the article to "Emily Hansen," making the other two redirects, and make a note that John calls her "Dorrie." And of course, a background note about the name confusion and sources. Agreed? --Proudhug 04:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
