2002
rachel and "dr love" (chris warner (michael galvin), the show's longest running character) began a relationship in 2002 which would see the two labelled ""shortland street"'s golden couple" and would continue in a "will they, won't they" scenario for more than 10 years. out of all of chris' love interests, rachel has been referred to as "the love of his life." bloomfield and galvin established a friendship throughout working together, with bloomfield stating, "we're like two old people who have known each other forever. we're like a pair of slippers. we're so comfortable in each other's company." the onscreen couple was believed by bloomfield to be an accurate depiction of a real life couple, "i really love ... this. we're speaking a true language and we're telling a story that i think lots of people will look at and be able to relate to." bloomfield and galvin were also briefly romantically involved in real life. rachel was originally the daughter of chris' boss, michael mckenna (paul gittins); but throughout the nineties the two characters shared very little scenes together. when both characters returned after hiatus' in 2000 and 2001, an onscreen partnership was established between the two. rachel developed a crush on the doctor, but galvin was unsure of the potential relationship, "who knows? ... if it did happen, it wouldn't matter that we are friends. passion for the cameras is all part of the job, and it's definitely not like the real thing." rachel exposed chris' fiancée samara (jodie rimmer) as a fraud and at first chris despised her. the two participated in a pantomime play and after the two kissed on stage, chris decided he too was in love with rachel. however whilst rachel accessed her feelings overseas, chris began to sleep with nurse toni thompson (laura hill). upon return rachel instantly began to date the manic jack (manu bennett). jack ended up kidnapping rachel but chris saved her and the two started a relationship. however, with the birth of chris' son from his affair with toni, and rachel's refusal to be a mother, the relationship started to deteriorate and rachel turned to the bottle. by late 2002, the relationship was described by bloomfield as, "shaky". as rachel's alcoholism worsened, chris grew close to donna (stephanie tauevihi), something bloomfield believed rachel was ignorant to, "rachel trusts donna completely – and with good reason. she knows that donna would never do anything to hurt her. what rachel doesn't realise is that her relationship with chris is in serious trouble. as she and chris grow apart, despite their bets intentions, donna and chris become closer." as the year came to a close, chris ended his relationship with the out-of-control rachel. he got together with donna and an extremely drunk rachel tried to ring him while driving, resulting in a near fatal car crash. rachel fled ferndale, embarrassed and alone. bloomfield admitted that though the relationship was over, rachel was still feeling unrequited love. in 2006, galvin called for the return of rachel as the couple had "unfinished business" and named her as possibly chris' most suitable match. rachel returned in 2007 with the same feelings for chris and the two slept together before she left. rachel returned in 2009 on business reasons, but it was clear to the audience and to the on-screen characters, that her true plan was to win chris back. bloomfield stated, "rachel arrives back in ferndale on a mission to win back chris warner. chris and her share a lot of history, and she's decided that it's time they get back together once and for all" and admitted that chris was "the one that got away".

finn has not been in touch with rachel or kurt all summer and into the fall—the two friends are now rooming together in brooklyn while rachel is attending nyada—but he reappears unexpectedly at the end of the third episode. he has been given an early discharge from the army after injuring himself. he finds out she kissed brody (dean geyer), a nyada junior, and feels that he doesn't belong in her world in new york, so he returns to lima without telling her. she then breaks up with him. in lima, finn is working at burt's tire shop again, and artie enlists his help to co-direct the school musical, "grease", which had been finn's suggestion. when rachel comes to see the musical in the "glease" episode, their reunion does not go well, and they agree to refrain from contact when rachel visits lima in the future. will takes a leave of absence from mckinley to be a member of a blue-ribbon panel in washington, dc, so starting in "dynamic duets", finn becomes the interim director of new directions. while he has a rocky start in the position, they come to accept him as their leader. at sectionals, the glee club loses to the warblers after marley (melissa benoist) passes out on stage, interrupting the performance. afterward, finn does what he can to keep the club together and finally succeeds despite sue's opposition—she has deprived new directions of rehearsal space at school. the warblers are disqualified, and new directions is again eligible to compete in regionals; the choir room is returned to them. finn enlists emma, who is deep in wedding preparations in advance of will's return, to help him judge a glee club competition for which member is the best diva. when he finds her panicking over the reception arrangements, he kisses her. in "i do", when emma flees the church the day of the wedding, finn blames himself, but rachel sets him straight, and he and rachel sleep with each other post-reception. in "girls (and boys) on film", finn teams up with artie to help find emma for will; he later confesses to will that he kissed emma, and will is unable to forgive him. since working with will is untenable, finn leaves new directions though he enjoyed directing them; marley tells him he's a good teacher, and he should get a teaching degree. he goes to college, where he shares a dorm room with puck—who isn't actually attending the school. will later asks finn to return to co-lead new directions, and he agrees. meanwhile, santana has discovered that brody, who is now living with rachel, is a gigolo, and tells finn, who flies to new york and warns brody away, ultimately beating him up and saying, "stay away from my future wife." when rachel finds out and breaks up with brody, she admits that the relationship never would have worked because she was using it to try to get over her heartache about finn. rachel later thanks him for his intervention in "sweet dreams" when she calls him to get advice for choosing an audition song for the upcoming broadway revival of "funny girl".
