her daughter Nola Reardon were introduced in January 1980 while Roger Thorpe was on the run and trying to kidnap his daughter. Roger disguised himself as a German Professor Schneider who was staying at the Reardon Boarding house. Nola almost turned Roger into the authorities before he kidnapped Rita. The Reardons had always lived in Springfield, and Bea thought her husband Hugh Thomas "Tom" Reardon had abandoned her and their seven children. Nola was the only child still at home at the time the Reardons were introduced. Nola's introduction would be the crux for the other younger teen characters and teen angst storylines. A couple of days after Roger left and kidnapped Rita, Ed's god son, Speedo-clad and the well-muscled Kelly Nelson came to stay at the Boarding House. Alcoholic Tim Werner also returned, and became friends with Kelly. Although Kelly was now dating Hillary, Hillary would gain competition from both Nola and a totally unforeseen force as the year 1980 continued. Nola, who had many movie fantasies (championing herself as being the next Bette Davis), incorporated Kelly into her romantic movie fantasies, with Kelly none the wiser. Although Amanda Wexler had married Ben McFarren, Lucille Wexler continued to interfere in her daughter's life, and harbored fantasies of killing Ben. Lucille hired a financial advisor for Amanda, attorney Derek Colby (Harley Venton). Lucille tried to throw Amanda and Derek together in an attempt to break-up Amanda and Ben, but Amanda found Derek to be too provincial and got angry at both. Derek would later go on to work with Ross for a time and also met Hillary Bauer who he found attractive and pined for. Derek continued to advise Amanda on matters of finance. Derek was also revealed to be a former neighbor to the Reardons and had graduated high school at the same time as Nola's yet-to-be-seen older brother, Tony. Meanwhile, in what seemed a totally unrelated story, Lucille hired as her new housekeeper the newly arrived in town Jennifer Richards. Jennifer had arrived with her husband Walter Richards and their teenage daughter, Morgan. Unfortunately, Walter died in an accident, hit by Mike Bauer's car. Mike felt guilty for Walter's death (although the courts ruled it an accident and Mike helped Jennifer and Morgan in relocating to Springfield). Jennifer hired Kelly as Morgan's tutor, and tried to set up her daughter with Tim Werner. But it soon became apparent
