[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 430798, member: 27"] Alan bought the Harborview Road estate to be their marital home. During one of their many break-up/make-up cycles, he made the gesture of giving her the house free and clear, probably believing (correctly) that it would soften her feelings and woo her back. I think it was only after that reconciliation that Alan's parents and sister moved (from Southampton) to Port Charles. Logically the ultra-rich Edward would have bought his own house, but this was the era when rich, dysfunctional families all lived together under one roof (think: Ewings, Carringtons, etc.). I think Monica was okay with this (to a point) because she had not grown up with a house full of family members. Sure, Tracy was a nightmare and Edward could be cantankerous, but Lila was a sweetie and Alan had his moments. Which is not to say Monica did not throw them out on occasion, given their wacky hijinks and such over the decades. Speaking of Lila, I hope her lovely tea service survives this party that BLQ is throwing. [/QUOTE]
