Nadine is Vince D'Angelo's best friend.
Biography[]
Described as "Vince's Grace" because of her closeness with Vince, Nadine is sweet and well-mannered although she later reveals harboring romantic feelings for Vince in secret, resulting in her resenting all of his romantic partners, including Will Truman. Nadine fantasizes that Vince's boyfriends would die in a plane crash, and that he would subsequently find comfort in her, turning their relationship from platonic to romantic. It is implied that she copes with this secret by practicing self-harm.
It is not until Nadine meets Grace, who understands her feelings completely, that Nadine is able to move on from her conflicting feelings in loving a gay man.
