Much debate has surrounded the identity of "Diane", the recipient of Agent Cooper's many voice annotations he records over the course of the show. Friend? Colleague? Lover? Complete fabrication of Cooper's mind to compensate for the loneliness he felt from losing his wife?

It obviously changed a lot from the original idea, but the one factor that remained was the character of... Diane.
