Cass Cadwallader Winthrop is a fictional character on the soap opera ''Another World''. He was portrayed by Stephen Schnetzer from 1982 to 1999. Schnetzer also appeared as Cass on ''As the World Turns'' from 1999 to 2002 and again from 2005 to 2006 and on ''Guiding Light'' in 2002. ==Character History== Cass 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. They later became best friends and always stood by each other throughout the years. Cass had a tumultuous relationship with Cecile DePoulingac, which ended with her marriage to a foreign prince, though Cass had a hard time accepting it, triggering many comic complications. 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. Cecile, now a widow, tried to get Cass back, kidnapping him and making Kathleen believe Cass had chosen her, but Cass escaped and won her back. At one point, Kathleen was paralyzed by Carl Hutchins and tried to withdraw from the world, but Cass nursed her back to health. The two finally married, and left Bay City. Some months later, Kathleen was seemingly killed in a plane crash. Cass went into an emotional tailspin that only his and Kathleen's close friend Wallingford was able to bring him out of, telling him that Kathleen had been the best part of him. Cass never thought he would fall for anyone again until he got involved with Nicole Love. The two were going to marry but Frankie Frame proved Nicole had murdered Jason Frame and Nicole was institutionalized. At first, Cass and Frankie did not like each other (deliberately echoing his early relationship with Kathleen that fans had so enjoyed), however they came to find they had a lot in common. Eventually they fell in love, though their relationship never had the excitement Cass had experienced with Kathleen. A few months after they married, Cass discovered Kathleen was alive--she had concealed this to save Cass's life from shadowy criminal forces. Still in the grip of his passion for Kathleen, and knowing she needed him more because of the danger she was in, Cass chose her over Frankie. Later, having learned that Frankie was pregnant and had miscarried he decided that he had to move on, and tried to make amends. Frankie was still hurt by Cass's abandonment (though she had known a long time that he was still in love with Kathleen) and rejected him. They eventually managed to reunite, and legally marry. Not long after the wedding, Frankie found out she was pregnant again, and they had a daughter, named Charlie. When Charlie was a few months old, it was discovered she had a genetic heart condition. Cass blamed himself for Charlie's illness and the stress triggered his bipolar disorder. Cass refused to accept he was ill, but with the love and support of Frankie and his brother, Morgan, eventually sought treatment. Frankie was brutally murdered by the Bay City Stalker. Cass tried to move on and be a good father to Charlie. He began a flirtation with Lila Hart but she was with Matt Cory. Once she split with Matt, the two began a relationship. They married on the last episode of ''Another World'' (their union seemingly blessed by Frankie's ghost). But 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. Bay City's ultimate playboy had finally grown up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cass Winthrop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
