Rachel Lynde


I didn't get to see much of the "Road to Avonlea" series because during most of its run, the Disney Channel was still a premium channel, and my family wasn't about to pay the extra money to get that channel just to see "Avonlea," as it was named in the USA. However, from what I've read about the show, Rachel was in really bad shape by the end of the series. However, in "Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story," Anne and Rachel meet on the street, and Rachel is walking around like she hasn't aged a bit! I also noticed that she had mellowed out drastically in this movie! Sure, she had warmed up to Anne and had grown to appreciate her, but this was way too mellow for Rachel, although it was nice to see her not acting like a female body part!

They REALLY needed to have Rachel Lynde at the wedding saying, "Providence matched them two up when they were children" and smirking. I also thought Emmeline should have been shown at the wedding, but that is another story.

It would have nice to have seen Katherine too. Even Miss Stacy since both Gil and Anne had a lot of respect for her.

I was surprised she did not reprimand Anne for going to NY unmarried with Gil. But like you stated, I guess age had mellowed her.
