Dr. Laura Stevens (Michelle Nolden) was the main villainess from Lifetime's 2016 film, Running For Her Life (alternately titled Run to Me).
Laura Stevens is a physical trainer and a hypnotherapist, but her sinister past revealed that she attempted to kill her stepfather. Laura claimed that it was because he was abusing her mother, but in actuality, he knew that she was mentally unstable and wanted to commit her. It was also revealed that she killed her mentor, Charles McDowell, after s...
In the film, Alison Wynn (the film's protagonist) became Laura's latest client after being sideswiped while running. Alison met Laura at a seminar and quickly agreed to hire Laura as her trainer, despite Laura's warnings about her strenuous methods. Unbeknownst to Alison, Laura set her evil plan in motion, which was to separate Alison from her family, beginning with taking Adam, Alison's husband, out of the picture. After noticing how Brea, the family's young blonde neighbor, acts flirtatious with Adam, Laura planted a pair of women's underwear inside the home on the couch to make Alison believe that they're having an affair, which works.
Laura continued the ruse when Adam called wanting to talk to Alison, making it appear that Adam was threatening her. Later on, Laura spiked Alison's wine, leading to Alison quickly knocked out due to the effects. She later confronted reporter Jake Dorsey, who had been looking for answers regarding Delphine's death, at his hotel room. After Jake reminded her about her dark past, the evil Laura acted as though she were going to have sex with Jake in exchange for his silence before snapping the man's neck, killing him. She later placed his body in his car and set it up to explode to cover her tracks.

•Laura Stevens shares similarities with fellow Lifetime villainess Opal Sinclair, as well as Peyton Lane, the hidden main villainess from Designated Survivor's three-episode arc (which featured Michelle Nolden as Catherine Cray). All of them had married women as the objects of their affection, and resorted to murder when they were rejected by the women they loved. One difference is that Opal and Peyton were successful in their attempts, while Laura ended up killed by her female crush.
