Casting
The role has been portrayed by Tricia Cast since June 26, 1986. Her first run lasted fifteen years. In September 2000, it was announced that Cast had requested to be released from her contract with the soap, leading to much speculation to as why the actress had chosen to leave. Cast's publicist later issued a statement, saying: "Tricia has decided to take a sabbatical from Hollywood for an indefinite period of time. She is looking forward to spending some quality time with her new husband in Tennessee." Her last airdate was February 1, 2001.
In 2008, it was announced that Cast was to return for several guest appearances along with other previous actors, airing from November 14 to 20, 2008. The actress later returned for a bigger storyline on May 1, 2009, and has remained on a recurring status since then.

Famous quotes containing the word casting:
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
