Rachel Cory Hutchins (nee Davis; formerly Matthews, Clark, and Frame) is a fictional character from the NBC daytime soap opera, Another World.

The role was created by Agnes Nixon and originated by Robin Strasser on March 8, 1967, who played the role through December 10, 1971. Strasser would briefly return to the role from February 17, 1972 until June 29, 1972. During Strasser's absence, Margie Impert portrayed the role from December 27, 1971 to February 15, 1972. Victoria Wyndham took over the role on July 21, 1972, staying on until the show's final episode on June 25, 1999.

Rachel Davis was born to Gerald (Walter Mathews) and Ada Davis (Constance Ford). Her father walked out when she was young and she was raised solely by her mother. Growing up poor, Rachel dreamed of a glamorous life and was determined to do whatever it took to get it.

Rachel met Russ Matthews (Sam Groom) when she was recovering from a fainting spell while modelling, and married him because she believed he was part of a wealthy Bay City family. It turned out Russ had wealthy family members, but he was middle class. Rachel fell head over heels for wealthy Steve Frame (George Reinholt), but he was in love with Russ's sister, Alice (Jacqueline Courtney). Rachel encouraged Alice not to let her handsome and rich suitor get away, but was secretly planning to have for herself. She would find any excuse to double-date with Alice and Steve.

As much as she tried, Steve only had eyes for Alice. Rachel couldn't understand what Steve saw in Alice. She was too sweet and too nice. Rachel believed he needed a real woman, and she was determined to be that woman for him. Besides, Rachel had something in common with Steve that Alice did not: they both came from similarly poor backgrounds and, as adults, had broken free.
