Soaplovers' right on target here. Having Alex away for two months to "find herself" would present a window of opportunity for Roger to go after Spaulding, what with Alan, Phillip and Amanda also MIA. And, as you say, having Roger woo AM (especially after Alex hands the keys to Vanessa...why the hell would AM want to stay around?) Of course, Vanessa would slow Roger down, but maybe not stop him as Vanessa cannot always enact policy as a Spaulding would, simply because she isn't one. Vanessa's hesitancy to act would be a logical occurrence, especially in early 1993 (Maureen's death).
Conversely, if Vanessa did always enact policy, and made some serious mistakes in judgment, that in itself would make for some very interesting long-term business story prospects that affect everyone in town. (There's your next umbrella story- a corporate/employment/where do my loyalties lie type of thing).
I've spent zero time thinking about any of this, but man o man, it's tempting to dig in.
