Laura Kwan was an English teacher at Degrassi Community School. Her husband had cancer, so that had stressed her out sometimes, as shown in the episode, Friday Night, when Spinner and Jimmy egg her car. This caused her to take a leave of absence. When she's not teaching grade 7 - grade 9 students, she teaches an adult night class. Ms. Kwan's favorite student was Ashley Kerwin. She took a break from teaching for a while to stay home and help her husband recover from cancer. Later, she returned back to Degrassi with everything better in her personal life. She appeared in every season from Seasons 1 to 9. When J.T. got revenge on Spinner during their prank war, he writes a love letter from Spinner to Ms. Kwan, causing several problems. She was portrayed by Linlyn Lue.
