History
Rose DeVille had a modeling agency that was really a front for drugs and prostitution. An unwitting, young Nikki Reed signed on and became entangled in the death of a businessman, Walter Addison. Rose later ran a home for unwed mothers while actually operating a black-market baby ring. She took a teenage Nina Webster under her wing, only to later abandon her on the delivery table and kidnap her son, who was later found out to be Ronan Malloy some twenty five years later. Nina was led to believe the baby was stillborn. Eventually, Nina learned the truth. She confronted Rose at gunpoint and demanded her baby. Rose took Nina to the home of the family that has "adopted" Nina's baby. When Nina saw how happy her son was with the family, she decided to leave him there. She let Rose go, and Rose was never seen on the show again. The episode haunted Nina on and off over the years. At times it was suggested that Nina may attempt to locate her son, but this has never happened. She wrote a book that was loosely based on this experience. Nina occasionally had flashbacks about the ordeal, which featured Rose. Rose last appeared in a flashback scenes in 2000 and 2010. In 2010, Nina and her friends Paul Williams and Christine Blair all reminisced about the sad day. As Paul investigated Nina's lost-son whereabouts, he mentioned that Rose and her crime partner, Vince, were deceased.
