DENISE GALIK-FUREY

Character Sketch

Rhonda Wexler was introduced in the early nineties. She was Karen's perpetually-down-on-her-luck, alcoholic mother. Karen, a high school pal of Jason's, was at first reluctant to let anyone know she had a mother. However, Rhonda struck up a friendship with Alan, that might have led to more, but came to an abrupt end when he killed her "boyfriend", a guy who was beating her up and had molested Karen when she was a child. Rhonda never quite remembered him doing it.

When Karen married Jagger and left for San Francisco, Rhonda finally revealed to Karen and Scott, that Scott was Karen's biological father. Scott and Rhonda had a brief fling right after their high school prom.

When Port Charles began Rhonda was there to greet a jaggerless Dr. Karen, she encouraged Karen to dump the absent Jagger, whom she had never really liked much anyway. Scott returned to Port Charles and Rhonda went to work as his secretary. Eventually he sent her off to handle some of his overseas business.

Rhonda returned to Port Charles recently, and wasted no time in recommending that Karen not fall for Frank.
