That's another thing that got scuttled because the Dobsons were kicked over to ATWT. The woman who came to Brandon's funeral in the hat and heavy black veils was obviously being signaled as a woman of mystery, maybe truly the love of Alan's life. Or not, she could have been out for revenge against him and his family for what they did to her.
In spite of the convoluted backstory Marland cooked up for "Jane Marie," it was pretty insipid and Jennifer was also insipid. I am certain Court could have played her as a MUCH more interesting character than what Marland created. If Stewart objected to being paired with her, it might have been for this reason. At least with Elizabeth (who also could have been characterized as insipid, which is kind of ironic) they were caught up in a big storyline involving many other possible connections/love interests with some real conflict driving the love story. After the trial (which Marland ripped off from that old movie "Madam X") there wasn't much else for them to play that was interesting.
I believe that is very close to what the Dobsons were planning. No quick wedding, possibly no wedding.
As the Dobsons exited the show, Alan was going to be juggling a lot of women: Hope, Rita, Diane, Amanda's mother...they must have had a very big, very complex story planned beyond Alan and Hope getting married.
