PC/B&B: Rachel or Sheila Carter

[Andrew]

I Have Seen that Kimberlin Brown once played a role on Port Charles named Rachel, and if i remember correctly she was a nutcase also, correct me If im wrong, but didn`t she end up in the nut ward, or something like that, anyone saw Kimberlin as Rachel?

And if she was a nutter as i have a feeling she was

Who is the best psycho Kimberlin has played Sheila or Rachel?, right i guess Sheila.

Hmmm...LOVED PC's Rachel. Up until the end of her run, I didn't really see Rachel as a Sheila clone. During Karen Harris's writing stint, Rachel was more of a sociopath than Sheila. Rachel used her past experiences with her sister's death and her crazy mother and transfixed her problems on her patients instead of helping them. I remember a really good side story of the Kevin/Rachel rivalry involving a guy who recently lost his wife. Rachel told him grieving would be the only way to get over the loss of his wife, while Kevin(who subbed for Rachel while she was off dealing with either her mother or Livvie) told him he could move past the grief. The guy, under Rachel's care, ended up committing suicide while Kevin and Ian tried to save his life. Great character-driven writing, IMO.

Not to say anything less about the Sheila character, who I find just phenomenal, but Rachel is probably, by far, my favorite Kimberlin Brown role.

Rachel was never written as a psycho, at least not til the end and even then I wouldnt call her truly psychotic. Sheila was a psycho and Rachel came across more sane and together then she ever was
