[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 254955, member: 95"] Yes I heard she became a teacher, she also visited the set years ago with her class I agree, Emmerdale back in the 1990s was brilliant but often way short sighted, they overused characters like Kathy but repeating the same stories for characters like Rachel, which was why Glenda left in the end, she hated the Jack/Rachel storyline and said that while Rachel did go after married men twice, On those Occasions they were husbands of women she wasn’t close to , she only became close to Kathy after she gave birth to her son but before that they rarely interacted, and that it was no way Rachel would be so callous to Sarah who was not only her best friend but also step-aunt and surrogate mother, that storyline ruined not just Rachel but Jack and Sarah as a couple. Rachel was a strong female character as well, she wasn’t a victim, she was also different from the other characters at the time because she had a life away from the village when she was at Leeds university, in many ways Sandie Merrick was probably the forerunner to Rachel, if you swap Sandie being a career woman with Rachel going off to university. Kathy was massively overused by the late 1990s, Rachel I could see being the cool older cousin to Robert, Andy & Victoria, offering advice and being a surrogate mum to Victoria, being Jack’s ally and eventually running her own business, I loved her friendship with Zoe in the 1990s. Yes it’s hard to believe that the Graham Clarke story was just a few years before Richard Hillman, but I agree her exit was horrific at the time. In some ways I see Katie as being a combination of Kathy and Rachel. [/QUOTE]
