Blimey, that's back in the day (the proper meaning, not a few months ago). Indeed her dad did it, but bugger if I can remember the reason. Ethel_Fred would you care to elaborate?
At the time of the sexual abuse and the murder, Leland was possessed by the creature known as BOB from the Black Lodge. (That's the place with red drapes and zig-zag carpets where the little man talks backwards.) BOB was seen frequently in dreams and visions as a long-haired man in a denim jacket. He also possessed Dale Cooper in the final episode.
The extent of Leland Palmer's own awareness of and participation in the sex abuse and killing was left ambiguous. A lot of his bizarre behaviour was a coping mechanism to deny what he had done. But almost everyone behaved bizarrely in Twin Peaks.
Just watched the whole thing again not long ago... best TV show ever, even though some of season 2 was ropey to say the least. The last episode is one of Lynch's finest moments.

Twin peaks changed TV. There has been many TV series that would never have made it if it hadn't been for Twin Peaks

The middle of Season 2 (after Leland Palmer, but before Windom Earle) really plods along without direction. It's as if the show doesn't know what to do without the murder plot and tries to relaunch itself as a quirky soap opera.

David Lynch and David Frost always envisaged the show to become like this. The murder mystery element was supposed to fade into the background while the show continued to focus on interactions between characters, so that it could continue to be an episodic (if odd) soap opera.
Unfortunately viewers decided that was not what they wanted and in response to falling ratings the network insisted that Laura's murder needed to be resolved in season 2 since they were in all likelihood intending to not renew the series for a third season.
If TP had continued as a strange soap it would have become something like Desperate Housewives, which did start off with the mystery of Mary Alice Young's suicide but then evolved into more familiar soap territory, although it has to be said with that hint of the Lynchian undercurrent of something rotten in perfect suburbia.

Very much so in the series. However, in Fire Walk With Me, it seemed to me that he was aware he had done terrible things to Laura that he had no control over.
Ahh Twin Peaks, such an utterly bizarre show but we were all totally hooked to it and it used to form the main topic of conversation the day after at work. I was 20 when it first aired in 1990 and Kyle MacLachlan was touted as everyone's favourite crush.
Loved Twin Peaks although as a very young teenager at the time it scared the heebies out of me. I remember a scene when the woman was trapped in the wood. Freaky as hell.

I've still got all the VHS recordings of the whole series.

Hehe... think I said pretty much exactly those words to someone at work the other day...
She hasn't been on the news.

Could you whisper it to me;):D I've never seen TP so I haven't got a clue what you mean:)

Here's the coffee! Cherry pie gets a mention too.
I loved the music too, very haunting.
I still have a CD with the Twin Peaks music. Played it quite recently.
I've got the cassette! There were some albums I bought on cassette rather than vinyl or cd,the reasons for which have long been forgotten.
I've still got all the VHS recordings of the whole series.
Never watched them.
My VHS player is disconnected in the loft.
I've also got over 1000 vinyl LPs.
Nothing to play them on now.
That's nostalgia for you.
Damn fine coffee.
