All right, kids, back on topic:
Let's see, last we checked, there are only two people in NoHo that know Veronica's back in town: Marten and Tai.
We have no reason to believe that Faye knows that mom's back in town (or she wouldn't have gone DefCon Level 3 upside his head); ergo, we'd have to assume Dora has no clue that Mom's back.
There are a couple of other significant players in the cast who have never met Veronica, whose reaction might be verrrryyy interesting (other than, of course, Hannelore):
* Sven - he might have seen those photos his dad had (!)
* Angus - no idea what his reaction might be, which could be fun!
* Penelope - Wouldn't it be hilarious if she not only knew who she was, but she knew her on a first-name basis? (nahhhhh....)
* Steve - he probably knows who mom is from what Marty's told him, but AFAWK, he hasn't actually met her.
* Cosette - She might be completely freaked out by her - which could be hilarious if Hannelore isn't freaked out after finding out who VV is.

I would love - LOVE - if Hannelore discovers VV is Marten's mom and is just like, "Oh yeah, no, I knew that. How are you, Ms. Vance?" I don't even think I'd be all that shocked, what with her taking his genetic information and even from the get-go knowing an awful lot about Marten and Faye just because she took an interest. Background check? Piece of cake.

Quite so - and note that I modified my previous reply almost immediately, but apparently after you quoted me, because I realised I had somewhat misread your post in a rush. Sorry.

Cut it.

To who called Ms. Reed a porn star; she wasn't a porn star, she was (is?) a fetish model/professional dominatrix. Professional doms don't (usually) actually have sex with their clients. She says here that she was never fully nude in her photos.
Also, someone pointed out that even though you'd expect someone in the porn industry to look better, she probably does...when she's working. We're seeing her as a normal person, not Veronica Vance (can't remember who first made this point; sorry)
And to the person who tried to estimate Marten's age by using 1998 as his prom year, not bad assuming Marten was fresh out of college when the comic started, but I didn't get the impression that he was. Marten always talked about his old job like he'd been at it for quite awhile; I'd say at least a year. Then again it could have just seemed longer to him since he hated it so much. hmm....
The only real reason Ms. Reed looked better the last time she was in town was because Jeph didn't have the drawing ability to make her look properly aged. If you look closely at her face in this comic, you can actually see attempts at age lines (not terrible attempts, they just aren't noticeable enough. Please don't kill me, Jeph!).
