This might be wishful thinking on our part, but we have a sneaky suspicion that Nadine Hurley’s silent drape-runner invention somehow turned into a deafening success over the course of the past 25 years.

The eye-patched strong-woman was famously (and obsessively) fixated on creating the world’s first 100% noiseless, completely silent drape-runners, believing that the invention would make her and her husband, "Big" Ed Hurley, rich beyond their wildest dreams.

In a light-bulb moment, Nadine initially fulminates when her spouse accidentally spills a few drops of engine oil grease on to one of her beloved drape-runners, before realising that this is, in fact, the missing component in her now-silent creation.

Over two decades later, we see Nadine again; this time she is sat in what appears to be a well-furnished office, with a computer atop a desk covered in fabric samples, watching Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s webcast while sipping on an apparent protein shake.

So now we’re totally hoping that Nadine is living her best life as the entrepreneurial homemaker she was always destined to be, with a fortune that has generated a lifestyle brand comprised of cookbooks (featuring recipes shadily similar to the Double R Diner’s menu), workout videos and more.
