Rae Cummings' Bio
Rae Cummings
Linda Dano
Gretel Rae Cummings, who was now going simply by the name Rae Cummings, returned to Llanview after a twenty year absence. Rae landed in Llanview as part of her ongoing search for her wayward husband Daniel, who had suddenly disappeared with million of dollars of his client's money. Rae wasn't looking for Daniel because she wanted him back; she was looking for him in the hope he could shed some light on the whereabouts of her long lost daughter. As it turned out, Rae had given birth to a baby girl out of wedlock and the infant had been taken from her. Rae was desperate to find the daughter she had never known.
While in Llanview, Rae quickly became friends with John Sykes, who helped her in her search. Rae also encountered Grace Munroe, the beautiful younger woman who had once been Daniel's lover. Grace, however, had no information about Daniel to share with Rae.
After getting a new lead, Rae headed to Pine Valley to continue her search. Rae took a room at Myrtle Fargate's boarding house and revealed that she was looking for Daniel in the hope he could lead her to the daughter that had been taken from her at childbirth. This hit Myrtle hard as she had given up a baby girl for adoption years ago. Rae also teamed up with Tad and Dixie Martin in an effort to expose a shady lawyer involved in black market baby adoptions, but their sting operation uncovered nothing useful and Rae feared her search would never be successful.
Rae went to the Fannie Battle Home for Unwed Mothers and was surprised to find Myrtle there. Myrtle covered her real reasons for being there and both women learned that all birth records from the home had been written in a Bible. Unfortunately, the desk containing the Bible had been auctioned off. Myrtle and Rae returned home and Myrtle soon made the startling revelation that Rae was the daughter she had given up for adoption. After Rae's shock wore off, she and Myrtle shared a loving reunion and their close bond deepened.
Hoping the information contained in the Bible could lead her to her long-lost daughter, Rae set out to locate it. Rae's search took her to the town of Port Charles and with the help of her friend Tony Jones, Rae found the Bible she had been looking for. Now, only time will tell if the Bible will help lead Rae to her daughter.
While in Port Charles, Rae became fast friends with Dr. Eve Lambert. Rae and Eve hit it off so well that Rae even hoped that Eve might be the daughter she was looking for. That wasn't to be the case, but Rae and Eve's friendship remained tight.
Rae returned to Llanview and to work at The Banner. Recently, Rae received a letter from her estranged husband Daniel and she renewed the search for her daughter with vigor. Rae is also enjoying a close friendship with John Sykes, although neither would ever admit that might turn into more than just friendship!
Rae was surprised when Daniel arrived in Llanview one day with violence hot on his trail. Daniel, who was wanted by the mob, summoned everyone to the Crossroads and said that soemone's life would change. Before Daniel could make his startling announcement, a gunman burst in and started shooting. Daniel was shot in the leg and Kelly was also wounded in the crossfire. Daniel was taken to the hospital and he told Rae that she had a long lost son -- not a daughter -- before sneaking back out of town.
Rae was hesitant to accept Daniel's claim but soon came to suspect that Max might actually be her son after learning that Max wasn't Asa and Renee's child. Max, however, staunchly refused Rae's request that he take a DNA test.
Rae and John have grown closer although Rae remains hesitant to take the next step in their relationship.
