A mere stone's throw from the final season, Grant Harrison was shot in his office.He reunites with Rachel in the closing shot of the show, as the camera pays homage to Mac's portrait sitting nearby. He died again-and bounced right back up again to absolutely no one's surprise. Back for the Finale: Carl briefly turned heel again as a result of actor Charles Keating being shown the door (along with the other expensive vets) in 1998.
The Atoner: Carl Hutchins tried to be this, with varying results.However, neither Procter & Gamble nor series creator Irna Phillips intended to sell the series to CBS, as P&G had already produced four serials for the network at the time Another World was being developed note As the World Turns, Guiding Light, Search for Tomorrow (which would eventually move to NBC, joining AW on its daytime lineup, in 1982) and The Edge of Night and wanted to sell a series to one of the other major networks.
Artifact Title: It was widely rumored that the show was originally envisioned as a spin-off of As the World Turns (with frequent references to Oakdale and cross-overs by ATWT's Hughes family), but that CBS didn't have room on in their schedule to air the show, and refused to allow the show to operate as a spin-off on another network. Her own mother Ada was an example of this, having had her sister Nancy at a similar age. Absurdly Elderly Mother: Rachel gets pregnant-with twins!-when in her early 50's, an age at which most women are going through menopause, if they haven't done so already. The 1980s introduced several more long-running characters, including bon vivant writer Felicia Gallant, slick attorney Cass Winthrop, emaciated supervillain (and later Byronic Hero) Carl Hutchins, and the Love family (Donna and her twin daughters Vicky and Marley), with Rachel elevated to the top of the pantheon. In the 1970s, the show moved its focus to the newly arrived Cory family, and discovered an unlikely super couple in Rachel and Mac Cory, which ignites a rivalry between Rachel and Mac's daughter Iris. The show really hit its stride when it introduced the backstabbing social-climber Rachel Davis (originated by Robin Strasser, but most famously played by Victoria Wyndham) and her quarry, scion Steven Frame, and the love triangle between them and Alice Mathews. Set in the fictional Bay City, the show originally revolved around the super-wealthy Matthews and Randolphs. Historically, it's was the first soap to expand to a full hour and, during an ill-fated ratings experiment, the only one to air for 90 minutes daily. 
Notable in the soap genre for several reasons: It is one of the few American soaps to engender a spin-off (two direct spin-offs, Somerset and Texas), and one indirect spin-off ( Friends and Lovers/ For Richer, For Poorer). Long-running Soap Opera created by Irna Phillips and William J.
