I hope Lauren from Samurai is brought back to be the pink or white ranger. Kimberly Crossman is a talented actress, and did an awesome job during her brief stint on Samurai, but she was plopped right in the middle of a horrendous hero worship situation cuz she was doing nothing wrong but the rest of the team kept on whining and complaining about how much they miss Jayden that things were better when Jayden was around, etc. etc. and her own teammates barely spend time with her or even comfort her after the sealing symbol failed to destroy Xandred, you know, the very thing she dedicated her entire life to doing? Sure the rest of the Samurai rangers are friendly enough, but it doesn’t seem like they take Lauren’s feelings into consideration at all cuz it’s all about Jayden this and Jayden that.
Lauren deserves a chance at redemption, making her part of another team would be similar to when Karone was brought back in Lost Galaxy as the Pink Ranger after Kendrix died. The opportunity is there, all Judd has to do is seize it.
