Rachel Edwards is the bithcy ex-wife of Detective Sergeant Danny Williams (2010), wife of Stan Edwards, and mother to Grace Williams and Charles Edwards.
Past:
When Danny was a beat cop, his future ex-wife, Rachel Edwards, hit his car. As he puts it, "the driving lessons turned into dates, and dates turned into a two bed room, and she (Rachel) woke up married to a cop." Later, they had a daughter named Grace. It is not known what happened between them, but Danny and Rachel ended up having a divorce. When his now ex-wife remarried and moved to Hawaii, Danny reluctantly went along to Hawaii, to be able to see to his daughter.
