All this recent discussion is interesting to me as I didn't watch much of GL (at all) during 1987 and 1988. (The Paul Valere/Alan/India art scam was so bad that I had to ditch the show. That and everything Reva.)
IMO, no triangle GL could dream up during that period could surpass the story opportunity/clash presented by the following pentad: Alan/Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Roger. The dynamics of those five operating off each other makes any triangle superfluous.
Did Vanessa and Holly have scenes together prior to MG's departure in 1981? I assume not. If not, they certainly would have been aware of the other's existence.
