Brief Character History
Rebecca came a well-to-do family in Chicago, Illinois.

She married Peter Whitmore, who was from "the other side of the tracks" and together, they had three children: Laura, J.D. and Stephanie, aka &quot;Sam&quot;.

Rebecca brought Vivian Potter and her daughter, Ruth, to Chicago, where she work as her maid. Ruth attended the same school as her daughter, Laura.

Rebecca divorced Peter after he squandered her inheritance and seemingly abandoned her and their marriage. She went to law school and eventually became an attorney. She also helped Henry and Ruth Marshall finance their own business, Marshall's Chicago Ice Cream.

In the premiere episode, Rebecca and her former maid, Vivian, were with longtime friend Hugh Gardner when he passed away after suffering a heart attack. She was surprised to see her musician son, J.D., who said he wants to produce his own records, but he needs money from Mom to do it. Henry had Rebecca go over Martin Jackson's proposal to expand the Marshall family's ice cream business. Martin wasn't too pleased to hear that Rebecca was going over Martin's idea for expanding Henry's business.

Rebecca was worried that she wouldn't get a senior partnership in the law firm she works for because the deal with Martin and Henry fell through.

Sam confessed to Rebecca that she didn't graduate from college.

After Rebecca's associate, Chris, introduced her to British lawyer, Lloyd Bradfield, he had Rebecca show Lloyd around their law offices and the town. Rebecca enjoyed Lloyd's company, but was disappointed in his racist attitude toward Sam and Adam when he saw them having dinner together.

Rebecca was stunned when Phillip turned her down for a partnership in his law firm; but after a talk with Martin Jackson, Phillip offered her the partnership, but she declined.

Rebecca's granddaughter, Monique, admitted that she has fallen in love with Jason Craig.

Lloyd and Rebecca shared a picnic lunch and a passionate kiss.

When Rebecca's associate, Graham, told her Jordan had been shot and killed, Rebecca decided to go to Chicago to see Sam. Rebecca was stunned to see Peter when she arrived home. Peter insisted to Rebecca that he and Ruth were just friends.

Sam admitted to Rebecca that she and Jordan Hale never consummated their marriage.

Rebecca realized that years ago Peter and Rebecca had an affair.

Rebecca didn't believe Peter's reasons for abandoning her and the children years ago.
