Nola is Matt's aunt.

Bea and Tom Reardon had seven children. In the order that we met them, they were: Nola, Tony, Maureen, Jim, Chelsea, Sean....and one (a girl, I think) that we never met. It was always said that Nola was the youngest, though Kassie Wesley was certainly younger than Lisa Brown. When Jim was in it was said that he was the oldest son, but it was later implied that Sean (whom we only saw briefly) was. Sean was Bridget and Matt's father.

  • Lainie was the female sibling. I always thought they should have brought back Ellen Parker as Lainie.
  • You might be thinking of Lainie Marler, Ross and Justin's sister, who was a runner and was on the show for a few years in the early 80s. eom
  • Oops sorry, It was Lana Reardon not Lainie. Yes, there was a Lainie Marler, forgot about her!

    Geesh, how do you guys remember all this stuff? I'm lucky to keep the Spauldings straight. Did Alan have a sister or aunt who played the piano but wasn't all in the head? And was Philip married to an India at one time? These go back to the times when I was working and just caught GL every once in a while. ;)

    Matt is Bridget's brother, making Nola and Maureen their aunts. Jim and Tony, etc. are their uncles. Their father was Sean, a Reardon brother that wasn't seen in the past, but he did show up for a short while in the 1990s. He was basically a con man with slicked-back hair. With Matt's arrival on GL, we learned he was the oldest kid in his family, with I think Bridget the second oldest. There were several mentions of all those younger siblings they had.

    I believe he's her brother.  There was brother Tony, brother Matt, sister Chelsey and Nola.  Mother was Bea. Father was deceased but a friend of Henry Chamberlain when they were young.  Am I missing anyone?

  • I think you are missing one...there was one who was a doctor I believe. I can't remember his name. He's the one who went with Annabel to Barbados and fell in love with her. (Star)
  • matt was invented. he was Nola's nephew. they said suddenly that matt came
  • Jim was the doctor. The one with the dreaming death. Were Matt and Bridget brother and sister? Cuz I don't think Bridget was one of the original Reardons either. Maureen, Tony, Jim, Nola. I just can't remember! fee
  • OK, just read up. I had forgotten Chelsea was a Reardon. And Sean. I THOUGHT there was an older one they had never shown or something! fee
