GL’s Cassie Layne Timeline
1997: In August, Annie and Alan, who were hellbent on destroying the Lewises, found Cassie working at a strip club called Teasers. Hoping to get an insider’s view into Lewis Oil, Alan arranged for Cassie to get a job there. At first, Cassie went along with the plan, but she came to like the Lewis family and balked at having to turn brothers Billy and Josh against one another…. Cassie confessed her mole status to Hart. They grew closer, much to the chagrin of his fiancee, Dinah. Reva recognized a cameo belonging to her late mother, which Cassie’s daughter, Tammy, had given to Marah. She realized that she and Cassie were half sisters…. Cassie and Hart began to date officially after he ended his relationship with Dinah.
1998: Dinah lured Cassie’s abusive ex-husband, Rob, to Springfield. He stalked Cassie and Tammy. Eventually, he left for Alaska, but not before bedding and impregnating Dinah…. Someone began threatening Cassie, so Hart investigated. A trap he set for the stalker caught Dinah in the act, but a fall caused her to miscarry. Dinah used that incident to guilt Hart into marriage. Cassie was pregnant, but lied to Hart that he wasn’t the father.
Cassie and Tammy fled to Chicago, but Hart soon learned that he was the baby’s dad and tracked them down.
1999: During a snowstorm, Cassie was involved in a car crash and gave birth to Roger Joshua, a.k.a. R.J. Hart agreed to give his and Cassie’s relationship another try…. Dinah attempted to shoot Cassie, but hit Hart instead. After lingering in the hospital, Hart died…. Cassie reconnected with an old friend, Jim, who helped her keep the Jessup farm in working order…. Cassie was among the group of Springfielders who went to San Cristobel to help Josh and Reva. There, Cassie met and became smitten with Prince Richard, an ex-husband of Reva’s from her amnesiac years…. Cassie returned to the States and to stripping in order to make ends meet. Richard offered her a deal: Marry him and give him an heir, and he would take care of her financially. She agreed, but refused to reveal her true romantic feelings for him.
2000: Shortly after Cassie moved into the San Cristobel palace, she contracted measles. Cassie fretted when doctors said that the disease might have rendered her infertile, but Richard insisted on getting married…. In Texas, Richard and Cassie went undercover as Dwayne and Stella to get the dirt on some shady business that was ruining Lewis Construction. Turns out, Richard’s brother, Edmund, was the culprit…. Richard and Cassie admitted that they had fallen in love, but vowed not to have sex until their wedding night. Meanwhile, Edmund tried everything in his power to discredit Cassie in front of the people of San Cristobel. Nothing worked, so he located Rob and brought him to town. Rob claimed that he never signed the divorce papers. He promised to do so — for a substantial financial sum. When his plan didn’t work, Rob kidnapped Tammy. Cassie and Reva eventually got the best of him. He returned Tammy and freed Cassie. In July, Cassie and Richard married in a royal ceremony…. Cassie became pregnant. Edmund bribed the doctor to make it look like Richard wasn’t the father. Richard quickly realized that Edmund was pulling the strings.
