And at the time in '83 when Trish steps into Spaulding, Alan and Vanessa are on the outs. Vanessa had wormed her way into a Vice Presidency at Spaulding after Amanda is booted out. (This is when she, Ross and Josh form LTA) But Van then turned around and tried to force Quentin out of town and Henry's life by making it look like he had informed Alan about Vanessa's double dealing in the Jocelyn Electronics deal (when she and Henry had blackmailed Alan, over the affair with Rita, into buying a company and got a kickback.) She left a memo outlining the deal on Alan's desk, and he then fired her. (Quint threatened to expose her actions to Henry, and tell him that she knew he was her brother. Vanessa backed off, telling Henry that she'd left the altered memo naming only her in an effort to protect him.
But back to Trish---I don't know why it didn't launch more story for Trish either. She and Ross were starting to get somewhere, and it went NOWHERE.
That's technically a lie---we all know the reason---The REVA vortex. The Lewises suddenly revolved all around REVA. Since Trish wasn't male, she wasn't going to be blinded by Reve's "charms".
