Paul Williams hired a woman by the name of Cassie as an interior designer for decorating his home and business office.

Soon after, Cassandra confessed that on the night that George was murdered, she was knocked unconscious, and when she awoke, there was a gun in her hand, and her husband was dead.

Claiming to love her and convincing her that he would protect her if she were to be convicted of her husband's murder, Adrian manipulated Cassandra to sign over the rights to her estate and then devised a plan to kill her, making it appear as a suicide.

He drugged her, tied her to a chair, and rigged a gun with melting ice to fire at her at a designated time.

It turned out that Paul and Victor discovered Adrian's plot and saved Cassandra before the gun fired.

Cassandra set her sights on Brad Carlton, but he only had eyes for Ashley Abbott who had just turned down his marriage proposal.

When Brad finally regained consciousness he found himself in bed with his new wife Cassandra at a resort in Aspen, where they were stranded in a snowstorm.

At the divorce hearing, Brad and Cassandra agreed to part amicably without laying claim to each other's financial interests.

Immediately after the hearing, Cassandra called Paul Williams, telling him that he was the man she really loved, and rushed off to see him.

A writer from Bernews called Cassandra "one of the most captivating and intriguing femme fatales in the history of daytime television".
