Nicholas Carbone was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois.

Life as Miles Webber[]

In 1989, Miles met Rose Nylund while ballroom dancing and began seeing her. While they got along well, Rose soon became self-conscious about her intelligence once she finds out and starts to avoid him. They reunite on the dance floor and he assures her that her sweetness and openness makes him enjoy being with her.[1]

We then meet his daughter, Caroline, who tells Rose to leave Miles because her mother hasn't been gone long enough for him to have grieved properly.

It is later revealed that he is, in fact, not a college professor at all. He was placed in the Witness Protection program after being the accountant of a crime boss. The crime boss, Cheese Man, was later found dead so Miles revealed his true identity. It is later revealed that Cheese Man faked his death and so Miles must go back into hiding. He asks Rose to come back to Chicago with him, but after he tells her she can never see her kids or her friends again, she refuses.

In "A Midwinter Night's Dream (Part I & II)" Rose ends up planning their wedding due to her winning a honeymoon trip in a giveaway she entered.

In the episode "Twice in a Lifetime", Rose has to choose between Miles, or her old boyfriend from St Olaf, Buzz.

Later in the spin-off series, The Golden Palace, Miles ends up telling Rose he is also in love with another woman. Rose ends the relationship.

Trivia[]

  • Miles marks the second appearance of Harold Gould on The Golden Girls, as he previously portrayed Rose's first post-Charlie date Arnie Peterson in the episode "Rose the Prude".[2]
  • Instead of going back to his birth name, Nicholas, Miles continued to go by his alias "Miles Webber" after The Cheeseman was caught. The reason for this is unknown.
