Members xtr Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nicole Forester is leaving the show. This was posted at SNS, but the information is originally from SID: From SID: Last issue, we reported that Nicole Forester (Cassie) will be leaving GL when her contract ends this fall, and now the soap is confirming it. "the decision was storyline-dictated," says a rep, adding that she'll last air in November and there are no plans to recast the role. "Nicole will be missed, and we wish her great success in her future endeavors." In Depth hears that Forester took the news that her contract would not be renewed in stride, since her personal life is about to change dramatically: While she hadn't yet told her bosses the actress is expecting her first child with beau Paul Brown, and they're getting married in October!

Members MichaelGL Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 My oh my what will Ellen Wheeler do now? Play the role of Cassie herself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EastMA2 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 LOL! Don't give Ellie any ideas! I will say though, that I know I'm in the minority, but I liked Forester in the role. It took time for her to grow on me, and she really came into her own last year when Tammy died. I wish her luck.

Members sungrey Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, I can't say I'm stunned by this news. She was reaching the end of the line story-wise as it is. The fact they're not recasting the character troubles me a bit, although if they keep the character mentioned in scripts from time to time that would be all right. Congrats to Nicole -- no, no, not on getting out while the getting's good... on her upcoming baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 I think Forrester is a decent actress, so I hope she finds work elsewhere. She could definitely be the new Kristen Forrester on B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Too funny I bet she took this as a blessing, I mean who would want to work for that mess anyway.... so will they kill her off too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cody_1990 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 I haven't watched Guiding Light since August but yet am still glad about this news. I think she is a OK actress but she was never Cassie. This is kinda bad for the show though another actor gone. IMO they should be begging Liz Keifer and Beth Chamberlin to come back on contract again, they play characters people actually care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well it's a step in the right direction. Now, they just need to get rid of uninteresting and weak characters like Remy, Marina, Mallet, Daisy, Rafe, Grady, and Cyrus and it might be worth checking out again.

Members Greg's GL Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 You said it. I haven't been able to stand Cassie in at least 2 years. They should work on bringing back Reva's real sister - Roxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ljacks13 Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 SOD Online GL Casting Shocker In a surprising turn of events, Emmy-nominated Nicole Forester (Cassie, GL) has quit the soap. Her last day on set is today, September 26, and her final air date is scheduled for early November. Forester, who joined GL in 2005, made the decision after her contract expired last month. Plus, she has some big personal changes coming. "Yes, it's true!" the actress said in a statement, confirming her departure. "I am getting married in October, and I am expecting a baby in February! I am so happy and excited about embarking on these two most wonderful adventures, and I'm so grateful to have some extra time now to embrace them fully."

Members jacks Posted September 28, 2008 Members Share Posted September 28, 2008 According to soapcentral, Nicole Forester is leaving GL to get married and start a family. What do you think they should do with Cassie? Recast? Kill off? Move out of town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted September 28, 2008 Members Share Posted September 28, 2008 Not a huge loss, Cassie hasn't been the same for me since 03. She went from a feisty woman who took no s.hit to an annoying little parasite. Laura leaving and being replaced by the bland Forestor didn't help. Neither did Josh & Cassie.
