Carl Hutchins
Charles Keating
There was a time when Carl was the meanest man around. When Jake and Marley Love got wise to his nefarious plots, he followed the couple into the Arizona desert, determined to kill then. He held Marley at gunpoint on a cliff, but Jake managed to rescue her. Carl fell off the cliff into a watery ravine and disappeared. He was presumed dead, but returned to Bay City a year later. He attacked Kathleen McKinnon and left her paralyzed, then spent several years in jail. In 1994, a reformed Carl fell in love with a long time enemy Rachel Cory.
Rachel Cory Hutchins-
Victoria Wyndham
The crazed Alexander Nikkos trapped Rachel in a crypt at the local church. When the church was razed, everyone thought it was the end for Rachel. Nobody knew that Nikkos had freed her before the wrecking Ball did it's damage. Carl and the Cory children mourned for a week. But it was a good thing they never made funeral arrangements: Rachel arrived home one night in the middle of a blackout, very much alive.
