Nola and Nadine overlapped, right?

I don’t know if they did in their younger days, but there was a brief overlap in 1995 because I remember them both being at the Matessa wedding.

Yes, but I don't think they ever really interacted. There is a scene at Company where Nola is trying to get Alex to let Van use the Spaudling green house for the wedding, and Elenit and Nadine tallk something about if anyone can talk their way into something its Nola, (like they some who interacted but we never saw it). Missed op as Nola and Nadine could have been a soap opera AbFab, scheming and getting into trouble.

I want to say Eleni/Nadine were catering the event but Nola was "helping" by making the dish that made everyone sick, but I could definitely be mixing up them catering with a different wedding. Nadine was pretty preoccupied with the visions of her impending death at this point-I do remember there were candlesticks there which triggered a vision.

I feel like those high cheekbones guys like VI (GA is like this too I feel like) never looked super boyish when they were young but then once they reached maturity just look roughly the same.

(I don’t think he looks like he never aged mostly because of the hair but Rick Hearst looks great at 60 too-another high cheekbone guy.)

Agreed, he would make a perfect Alan Spaudling at this age. Its too bad he was wasted on Lucy Cooper and they couldnt give him shades of of grey in his character at that time.

Haha yep, that was Matt/Vanessa's wedding. Nola's cooking got everyone sick with food poisoning and they had to put everyone's "rival" together in hospital rooms. Yep, Nola returned in August 1995 and this wedding was October 1995, right before Nadine died later that month.

I get the impression if Rick had stayed that the A. Spaulding story with Phillip was supposed to be roughly the same and they had AM acting pretty shady with Phillip-he regresses every time he feels threatened. While I would have loved to see RH/GA going toe to toe as adult brothers for longer, hard to argue that RH made the wrong choice getting out at that point. I imagine that if AM stayed on the scene the show would've just been cycles of Phillip/AM being close, there being a competitive rift, then them coming together again when one of them does something questionable to someone else that only a Spaulding would understand/be able to help with.

Admittedly I actually liked AM/Lucy and felt their actual coming together was done well for the most part though it was basically just one trauma to another. Though I will forever contend the show made a mistake just completely severing AM/Blake from each other's orbits. I feel like they should have had a Roger/Holly sort of connection that is always there in the background-even if they keep remembering that ultimately they're bad for each other.
