Cass Cadwallader Winthrop came to town as a scheming but good-natured casanova - a skilled attorney who kept looking for shortcuts to success.

He was a former lover of Felicia Gallant and the two resumed their complicated romance, though Cass also had eyes for Sally Frame.

Cass formed a partnership with aspiring reporter Kathleen McKinnon, leading to several years of romantic sparring, criminal investigations, dangerous adventures, and the first real love of his life.

At one point, Kathleen was paralyzed by Carl Hutchins and tried to withdraw from the world, but Cass nursed her back to health.

With his wedding day to Nicole fast approaching, Cass crossed paths with eccentric detective, Frankie Frame.

Cass refused to accept he was ill, but with the love and support of Frankie and his brother, Morgan, eventually sought treatment.

Cass and Lila married on the last episode of Another World (their union seemingly blessed by Frankie's ghost).

In the end, Cass finally realized that his deepest and most lasting feelings were not for any of his many lovers, but for his daughter.
