[[WMG: Bess goes on to become a BigBeautifulWoman, after dating someone who wants her to ''gain'' weight, rather than lose it.]]
Bess has always been described as being overweight, even if the actress playing her was thin. More recent versions of the character have been depicted as always trying to lose weight, but never able to shift "that last five pounds". Heck, at the end of the computer game ''"Alibi In Ashes"'', Bess laments having staked out the ice cream parlor that the suspect visited, because she had to keep her cover ''all day''.

Nancy Drew video games operate in ComicBookTime - one of the games takes place during the Great Depression, for crying out loud - so there really can be any amount of years between ''Stay Tuned'' and ''Waverly''. What if Izzy's father was Rick Arlen? Then it would turn out that Lillian broke down and went mad with jealousy not just because Rick left her, but because her left her with a small child.
