Character background
In 1991, Sharon Collins gave birth to a baby girl at the age of 17. She thought it would be best for the baby to give her up for adoption, and she adopted by Alice and named Cassidy.
In 1997, Alice left Cassidy in the care of her aging mother, Millie, to pursue a man. Millie loved Cassidy but didn't have the energy to keep up with a young girl thus leaving Cassidy to entertain herself with her beloved doll collection. Grace Turner searched for Sharon's baby and found Cassidy. Nicholas Newman and Sharon, now Nick's wife, tried to get custody of the now renamed Cassie. Alice showed up and tried to take Cassie back. Christine Blair and Michael Baldwin were adversaries again when Michael represented Alice in the custody battle over Cassie. Eventually, the Newmans gained custody. Alice made numerous of visits to Cassie after losing custody of her, including after her death in 2005 to visit Sharon and Nick.
