I addressed this on the other thread.

Neither the Character Laura Hale nor the actor reported to have been hired to play Laura Hale were listed in the credits.

This may have been an oversite - or after casting and filming they decided to diminish the role to the point a credit was not warrented - or they decided to hold back the Laura character for future episodes and wanted the option of recasting without causing confusion.

However it played out her name is not there in the credits so she officially was NOT in the episode.
