I left [...] because I want to try another part as an actor.Days later, it was announced that Wright would join the ABC soap General Hospital as the fourth actress to portray character, Carly Corinthos.

In September 2008, it was announced Forester had opted to vacate the role of Cassie in favor of starting a family with her then soon-to-be husband.

She would later break up with Edmund officially when she saw him holding a shovel over Dinah's head when the latter faked an abduction (with help from Jonathan Randall).

In June 2005, Dinah revealed to Jonathan that she'd miscarried Edmund and Cassie's child weeks ago when he found an apparatus in her room that she had been using to simulate pregnancy.

After the murder of her fiancé Hart Jessup, Cassie married Prince Richard Winslow in 2000 on a strictly business arrangement.

It would be agreed that Cassie would give the San Cristoballian Republic a legitimate heir to the throne in exchange for Prince Richard aiding her in her financial troubles.

However, after it was discovered that Rob Layne hadn't signed divorce papers, her marriage to Prince Richard was ruled invalid.

Cassie later married Prince Richard's brother Ambassador Edmund Winslow from December 2004 to November 2005 and to her former brother-in-law, Joshua Lewis.
