Cassie has two children, Livie and Noah. She's the former wife of Nico.

## Plot

### Season 2

She lives with her son, Noah. She often calls Livie on the phone to ask how she's doing but she doesn't stay in touch. Most of the time she's trying to keep Noah under control, and to help Livie come to terms with the past. Noah is always sneaking out and Cassie cannot control him. She's surprised when he confess he regrets everything.

Later, Cassie and Noah turn up at Nico's house, as Livie has agreed to talk - on one condition: Ford is allowed to be there - which is obviously allowed because Ford deserves to know the truth about Noah and Johnny. The four of them end up living together. Cassie and Nico manage to come together to help Ford and Livie plan for Livie's 18th birthday party. The two of them are also talking again.

### Season 3

Cassie is a qualified teacher and she spends most of her time talking to Livie - and then Dana when she turns up. But Cassie misses Nico and she knows Nico has Rose. Eventually she confesses that she still loves Nico to both Dana and Livie, who eventually plot to try and get the two of them together; they know Nico's heart isn't in the right place, especially when Nico himself tells Ford's cousin that he truly still loves Cassie. However, the two, thinking the other one wants different things, end up fighting at Ford's bowling party and after returning from a matchmaking date (set up by Livie and Dana). Cassie keeps vowing to Livie and Dana that now...it's not really possible, even if it's what she'd like.

At the end of the season, Cassie and Nico eventually confess their true feelings towards one another much to Livie, Dana, and Rayalynn's delight.
