(see
Rebecca Cartwright)
MONA ENRIGHT
Later revealed to be Rebecca, but had been Vanessa's friend and at one point in the story (Fall 82) it was revealed to Quint that she had died in Switzerland. This saddened Quint quite a bit as he always liked Mona. The revelation that Rebecca was Mona was totally inconsistent with story.

MARK EVANS
(aka Samuel Pasquin). Involved with Rebecca Cartwright years prior while Quint was engaged to her. Mark (or Samuel as he was known while involved with Rebecca aka Mona) pushed Rebecca off a cliff after an arguement causing her to be severely disfigured and to lose his child. For years, Quinton lived in guilt believing he had pushed Rebecca and that she had been carrying his child. Mark ironically fell to his death off a similar cliff a few years later after a confrontation with Rebecca. Rebecca also took a leap that night to her death.

BLANCHE BOUVIER
Very vital to original story, but her true purpose was never revealed; friend of Vanessa's from South of France who Quint had known and whom he was terrified of himself or Nola running into; took Nola to San Francisco in December 81 to avoid Blanche. (played by Jennifer Leek)

HENRIETTA MORRISON
Originally Nola thought the monogram "HM" in her chinchilla coat from Quinton stood for Henrietta Morrision, but soon found out it stood for Helena Manzini; Nola thought she was another one of Quint's past beautiful, sophisticated women; turned out to be an annoying much older woman (played by ?)

(never on air)POOR ROSA
A pregnant unwed girl who had worked for Quinton before he moved to Springfield; complete significance was never known (never on air)
