Nora Grant was a young woman from Portland, Oregon who would frequently spend her summers in Collinsport to be near her cousin, Will. She worked in a small gift shop and became close friends with Victoria Winters. Vicki and Nora bore so many physical resemblances to one another, that many people alluded to the idea that they might twins. Whenever Vickie wasn’t busy with her duties at Collinwood, Nora and she would while away the daylight hours down at the beach near Widow's Hill or spend their evenings at the Blue Whale.
