Layla Rourke has a brain tumor. She is the daughter of Mrs. Rourke, and they both have been coming faithfully to Rev. Roy LeGrange's services for some time, for Layla to be healed.
"I found it a challenge to play a character who had such a strong faith. I felt Layla possessed an inner peace that allowed her to accept her fate. They key for me was when she says, 'I guess if you're gonna have faith, you can't just have it when the miracles happen... you have to have it when they don't.' That's a very powerful statement, and it revealed to me how deep Layla's faith was." -Julie Benz ~Sequential Tart - Super Women: Supernatural's Layla Rourke
