MATTHEW CORY

FAMILY

In 1986, Matt found out for the first time that Mac was not his biological father and was devastated. They had been very close, and aside from a slight awkwardness at first, the two remained close until Mac died in 1989.

Matt and Rachel enjoyed a close relationship for many years. Their first serious falling-out occurred in 1988, when Matthew discovered the circumstances of his birth. Matthew was very disillusioned with his mother, but eventually came around.

Matthew's hatred for Carl Hutchins, born out of the blue in 1996, took a terrible toll on his relationship with his mother. When she discovered he had been plotting with Carl's enemy Alexander Nikos, their closeness ended and they were estranged for several months. Matt botched his life by impregnating Lila and making her a fixture in the Cory mansion, but it also made Rachel rally to his side.

Matthew met his father, Mitch Blake, for the first time in 1986. Mitch remained in Bay City for the next four years, and during that time, the two got close. They parted in 1990 on very good terms. In 1997, Matt remarked to Sofia that he had not heard from his father in years.
