They never had Heart and Ehlers together as a couple but they had a ton of screen time together just after AM divorced Blake. They were just friends (as much as any two fairly recent exes are) when Harley was with Josh then she kissed him once when she was getting over Josh but he shot her down since he knew she was using him. They then seemed to have them heading in that direction still when Blake re-enters the picture through them working together and Harley takes two computer classes and is a computer genius overnight and consults for AM to keep Roger/John Davis out of the Foundation computers. (I saw this all pretty recently haha). There's some missed episodes in there but Harley doesn't approve of AM's corporate ambitions throughout (sometimes fairly, sometimes just for wearing a suit or for AM thinking it's troubling to have people use his work computer without his knowledge. Any potential romance fizzles when John Davis drugs her to get the Foundation password while she's sleeping and AM is skeptical that she didn't accidentally blurt it which makes Harley mad. When AM is first enchanted by Eleni he had heard Harley was troubled about something I don't recall and went running to the diner to check on Harley, but instead found Eleni looking sad over a dinner she'd cooked for Frank but Frank had gone off with Blake not realizing she'd made him a birthday dinner. Before AM's obsession with Eleni is really known Harley hears that AM had come looking for him and basically ends their relationship/friendship completely. Then it's all Harley/Mallet and AM/Blake/Eleni from there.
I did not mean to write that much-I just really enjoyed that whole John Davis/Roger embezzlement arc. It's too bad they had to make Daniel St. John part of AM's Foundation ambitions. It was a bit funny in my 1993 watch that they had Harley/Mallet on a cruise away from Springfield when John Davis reemerged considering they put Harley on the Spaulding yacht unwillingly for a week to protect her from him.
All that to say Harley/AM were definitely very over (and even more so after everything with Eleni) but I could see them not being able to resist at least teasing going down that road if Rick had come back in 2001 with the Phillip of it all. (I could also just see AM/Harley becoming more like family if Lucy was around especially and taking Harley's side post-divorce to cause tension without a romance.)
