RACHEL CORY HUTCHINS

FAMILY
Parents
Rachel's mother, Ada Hobson, died in May 1993. She had been a mainstay in Bay City since 1967 and her death came as a shock to everyone, Rachel especially. Ada had been Rachel's best friend and her confidant, always sticking by her through her many crises. There has been a gap in Rachel's life since Ada died.

Rachel's father is Gerald Davis. Gerald was in Bay City off and on from 1970 to 1974. He had abandoned Rachel years before, and this time in her life he would betray her again, accepting a bribe from Steve Frame to damage Rachel's case during her divorce hearing. Gerald was sent to prison for perjury, and that was the last heard from him.





Freeze FrameChildren
Rachel has five children.

Jamie Frame. Jamie and Rachel have had their ups and downs, but were close when Jamie left town in 1993.



Amanda Cory. Amanda is close with her mother, but every once in a while they find themselves at odds over an issue. In 1994 they had a major falling out. Amanda felt betrayed because her mother had started a relationship with Carl Hutchins. Rachel was hurt because she felt Amanda had betrayed her father's memory by believing the lies about him spread by Ian Rain.



In 1997, Amanda turned against Rachel's husband, Carl. Resentful of his presence in her father's house, she lashed out at him at every opportunity despite Rachel's entreaties for peace and understanding. Amanda masqueraded as Carl's secret lover, Hadley Prescott, and despite the pain this caused Rachel, Amanda took a savage glee in her role. Eventually remorse overcame her and she confessed all to Rachel.

Mother and daughter were on strained terms for the next few months. To make it up to her mother, Amanda investigated Scott Guthrie's role in Carl's death. She almost lost her life in the process, but it healed the rift between her and Rachel.

Freeze FrameMatthew Cory. Matt and Rachel enjoyed a close relationship for many years. Their first serious falling-out occurred in 1988, when Matthew discovered the circumstances of his birth. Matthew was very disillusioned with his mother, but eventually came around.

Matthew's hatred for Carl Hutchins, born out of the blue in 1996, took a terrible toll on his relationship with his mother. When she discovered he had been plotting with Carl's enemy Alexander Nikos, their closeness ended and they were estranged for several months. Matt botched his life by impregnating Lila Roberts and making her a fixture in the Cory mansion, but it also made Rachel rally to his side.

Elizabeth and Cory Hutchins. Rachel's twins were born in 1997.

Siblings
Rachel has a half-sister on her mother's side, Nancy McGowan. Nancy resided in Bay City from 1974 to 1987. She returned twice: in 1989, for Mac Cory's funeral, and in 1993, for their mother Ada's funeral. Nancy is much younger than Rachel (about 30), but the two are close. Nancy is usually mentioned around Christmastime.
