Gail Scott was Joe's girlfriend during Helen's absence on the island. She was played by Gretchen German.
Bio[]
Gail Scott was a freelance investigative reporter from Washington, D.C. with a house of Nantucket. After Helen left Joe to pursue her music career in New York, Joe began dating Gail during the ten month period Helen was gone. In order to help convince Helen to move back to Nantucket, Joe decided not to mention Gail. After Helen had moved back from New York she eventually discovered the truth and in a fit of anger she drove her Jeep through Joe's office (The Naked Truth).
Gail and Helen eventually become friends, which made Joe very uncomfortable. When Gail saw Joe and Helen kissing, she realizes that they are still in love even though they are clearly not ready to get back together. Gail realized that Joe was not over Helen and decided to break up with him (Ladies Who Lunch).
While Helen was engaged to Joe, she gives him grief about Gail sending him a Christmas card. Later, when Lowell broke a clock on Joe's desk, Joe protested that Gail gave him that clock when they were dating, only to get sharp looks from Helen (Insanity Claus).
Trivia[]
- While in Argentina, Gail got Joe a gaucho hat for his birthday, which he promptly threw away (Crate Expectations).
