The best analogy, though, goes to Catherine E. Coulson, who played Margaret “Log Lady” Lanterman, who says, “Twin Peaks without David Lynch would be like a log without bark.”

Grace Zabriskie, who played Laura’s mother Sarah Palmer, submitted a statement that ran in the video, saying it was like “sad without funny…or funny without sad.” Separate from the video, Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), posted a picture of himself with Lynch saying the filmmaker had his love and support and using the hashtag #SaveTwinPeaks.
Lynch announced his departure from the revival earlier this week via Facebook. He wrote that Showtime was not offering enough money to do the script the way he felt it needed to be done. His exit does not preclude Showtime from moving forward with the series, which ostensibly still has co-creator Mark Frost writing scripts.
A Showtime brief described the revival by saying it would be set in the present day. “Twin Peaks will continue the lore of the original series, providing long-awaited answers and a satisfying conclusion for the series’ passionate fan base.”
Lynch and Frost announced the show’s return with great fanfare last October when they both tweeted that they were excited to resume work on the show – decades after its network-TV de facto finale – and punned, “May the forest be with you.”
Frost is also working on a book – The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks – which will catch fans up on the past quarter-century of goings-on in the fictional Washington town and is due out this year.
