There are many minor, lesser-known ships on iNext (1999-2013), iNext (2021-2022), Next & Rachel and Kayla & Rachel. Since there are many characters on the shows there is much speculation over pairings and focus on moments between various characters.
Pairings can either be platonic friendships and/or romantic relationships and can be made up of both once-appearing characters and regular characters.

Tina and Steven[edit | edit source]
Steven Manaco and Tina Steger are both connected to Rachel Genovese through the CF Special Needs Ministry, and they rarely interacted with each other except on Craft Day. After Rachel developed strong feelings for Tina, Steven and Tina interacted a little more whenever Rachel was around. On May 12, 2025, while Rachel was working in the PHS Cafeteria covering for Sandra Pryor and Becky Blaylock, Steven and Tina went to Tansi Beach and were photographed together. Tina didn't want to make Rachel jealous, so she edited the photo to remove Steven. Their interactions only happened because of Rachel's strong bond with Tina and because Steven had a crush on Rachel.
