Does anyone know if Rachel and Missy Matthews were friends? I believe both characters were on the show at the same time for at least a year or two, but I've never read or heard anything about their relationship -- if they even had one. Perhaps they were friendly, or perhaps they disliked one another. Or I suppose it's possible they never shared scenes together.

I've wondered, if Missy had returned to AW in the later years -- maybe mid-1980s to mid-90s, would she and Rachel have remembered one another? Or would they have been introduced as if they were strangers?

I'd think they might have used Rachel to help introduce her to viewers (similar to how they randomly used Rachel to help tie Joe Carlino into Bay City), but you never know.

That reminds me of them also saying Rachel went to school with Michael Hudson.

This seems to be the video that Joe and Judith footage may have originally been from (minus the watermark). There's a lot more of the cast here.

Thank you so much, @NothinButAttitude !

What an unexpected little treat!

After Beverly Penberthy (Pat) was fired in January 1982, can anyone speculate on what actor was hired using her former salary? Penberthy's salary must have been hefty, as she was the longest running cast member at that time, and still played an important character. And which character got Pat's level of screen time? I can't really identify anyone until Linda Dano (Felicia) was hired a year later in January 1983. But by that time, I'm assuming Penberthy's former salary had been eaten up and dispersed. However Felicia certainly got Pat's level of screen time, in my opinion. So in a strange way, Felicia replaced Pat -- if you know what I mean. Not literally, but in terms of being an important permanent female character with lots of screen time. Probably a level of screen time (like Pat) second only to Rachel.

I would assume all those movie people (Vic, Milo, Christine) and some of the other newbies were hired using her salary.

And they were all sent packing in just a few months 😂

That was before they decided that Michael had actually lived out of town on a farm with his mother Clara and his brother John.
