Shaver’s performance, as well as realistic love scenes with co-star Patricia Charbonneau, drew critical praise.

In 1990, she guested as the murderer in Columbo: Rest In Peace, Mrs. Columbo. She also appeared on television programs such as Hill Street Blues, T. J. Hooker and as the title character of the short-lived series, Jessica Novak. In 1980, she starred with Beau Bridges in the short lived Fox TV series “United States”. Developed by Larry Gelbart. This series broke sitcom molds by looking at edgy issues and not necessarily resolving the conflicts.

Impressed by her skills and strength of character, Derek invited Rachel to join his team. Rachel is a widow with an 8-year-old daughter, Kat. She is as much a skeptic as is possible to be with so many magical occurrences always happening. Rachel also struggles with alcoholism. In 2000, she won a Genie Award for her portrayal of a drug-addicted prostitute in the independent feature We All Fall Down. In 2003, she won a Gemini award for best direction in a dramatic series for the Just Cause television series. In 2004, she was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame.
