I often thought not putting them together for real was a mistake.
In the beginning, Alan wasn't interested in her, not so much because he was in love with Hope, but because he didn't like to be chased. Diane would practically drop her panties in front of him and he'd be like, no thank you.
In the beginning Hope was forbidden, then later when she forgave him and Mike kind of accepted them being together, he got bored. Rita was forbidden because they were both married; then both spouses left them and he was back to chasing Hope again.
Both times he was after Vanessa she wasn't really that into him, so he was again the one doing the pursuing. The first time it was going to go nowhere long term because Chris would be exiting the show soon. The second time it was Maeve who left.
So, yeah, third time might have been the charm (YES, with a different actor). Vanessa was no longer chasing men for the hell of it. I think it could have been very interesting.
