\\\"A scene is headed in one direction, then the line is uttered. Afterwards, the scene is going somewhere very, very different. For it to be effective the audience must not see it coming — not just not knowing the exact information, but not expecting any kind of surprising even significant line there at all.\\\"
That has nothing to do with the longevity of a character or how well established they are. It has everything to do with surprising the audience by changing the course of a scene with a single line of dialogue.

Westrim:
Also from the Wham Line page: \\\"The line itself has to radically change the plot in itself.\\\" The plot of the series (EDIT: or even of the lake house, unless we see otherwise) isn\\\'t changing.
Also, the scene wasn\\\'t headed in any direction (except inside), and it didn\\\'t change direction, it just paused a moment for her revelation.
