ANOTHER WORLD: Ada Dies Pt. 4

ANOTHER WORLD: Ada Dies Pt. 4
The beginning of 1993 brought sad news of the death of AW veteran actress Constance Ford, known to AW fans as Rachel's beloved mother Ada Hobson. This great, tough, no-nonsense lady was the epitome of "saying it like it was" and inspired many with her truth and wisdom. Her passing was truly a great loss to the show. The brief storyline where we learn of Ada's falling ill and eventual passing is presented here in her memory.
In Part 4, Marley and Dennis arrive with Clarice followed by Aunt Liz with Jake and Paulina. Matt, Jake and Paulina wonder who is going to believe in them now that Ada is gone. Nancy explains what happened with Ada's ashes. Everyone is amused by the story and feel that somehow Ada had something to do with it. John and Kelsey then arrive, followed by Felicia. Jake continues to feel threatened by Ian but Paulina tells him that the day is supposed to be about Ada.
Jake overhears Iris and Rachel's conversation about KBAY. When Clarice and Nancy catch up with Rachel, they toast to Ada, along with Amanda and Aunt Liz, with oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that Clarice made.
John and Kelsey ask Cass and Frankie about the trial while Matt, Jenna, Dean and Lorna remember Ada playing Dean's song at Paradise. Hank Kent arrives and Iris is touched.
Rachel tells Kelsey about Jamie in Somalia then wishes for Cass and Frankie that they win their case. She then begins to bond with Felicia, expressing gratitude that Felicia had the courage to approach her. Matt then urges her to begin the ceremony, but she feels unable to do so and tearfully asks him to do so.
