So I still feel like Rachel may or may not appear at all and I think those posters are not really clear. Rachel was in the Disassembled poster, but by the time the series started she was already kidnapped by Ahab and taken away as a hound. If she gets the Phoenix back I am pretty sure she is going to be sidelined as a support player for Cable, she won't get featured simply because the Phoenix is too OP and they won't want her to be more than peripherally involved in the event.
Sorry for being a pessimist I just feel like the writers and editors have no idea what to do with Rachel, hence they left her as a hound for 8 months because they had no clue what to do with her as a character. Since a lot of the writers think Rachel can only be written as a hound, I expect they will sideline her if they don't keep her as a hound.
