Apparently Ellen Wheeler asked actress Jean Carol to make another ghost appearance as Nadine before the show ended. However, Carol laughed in Wheeler's face saying she would not return unless they had Nadine undead. I have to wonder if there is any truth to this story.

If Jean Carol returned twice as Ghost Nadine I'd be surprised if she suddenly said no, and laughed in Wheeler's face.

I think that the show, especially after Harley left, decided to pretend Nadine never existed. It became all about Jenna as the love of Buzz's life, Jenna, Buzz, and Coop as the family Buzz never had. I don't see where they could have worked an appearance for Nadine in, unless they wanted her to appear to Frank at some point. If they'd put her in with Buzz it would have wrecked all the stuff about Jenna they kept doing over their last year.

If Jean Carol returned twice as Ghost Nadine I'd be surprised if she suddenly said no, and laughed in Wheeler's face.

Actually, Nadine was in a coma in Amish country, and what we saw was her roaming, restless spirit.

Remember the sight of that shock of Barbie doll hair on mannequin Nadine as she floated face down in the water? Geesh...

I would have liked a story about Nadine, and her family, thus explaining what motivated her when she was alive. Hell, I would even buy an illegitmate child she gave up for adoption.

The Jenna story rang a bit untrue for me, I never saw her as a woman who kept a diary.

A little snooping and I found the same tale only with Nicole Forrester involved. A little more snooping I did and found out that the ultimate source behind this was none other than.....Nelson Branco

For just a moment, after skimming quickly, I thought the title read 'Ellen Wheeler Antidote'... If only!

^An antidote could have come in use around 2005/2006 for GL.
