given that the young and the restlessClaire plans to wreak havoc on her boss Nikki, but it’s a little doubtful she’ll make it to Denver in time for the get-together she’s planning with her sister Casey Reed. However, the mere mention of Nikki’s brother, who has long since left Genoa City, left many viewers wondering, “Huh?”
If you hadn’t been watching the soap in the late 1970s and early 80s, you’d never have heard of Casey. But at the time, Roberta Leighton’s character played an important role. Initially, Casey and Nikki both lived with their mother. Doctor Casey works at Snapper Foster’s clinic, and like most women, she falls in love with him. Unfortunately, she had a fear of sex and major concerns for Nicky, who was a hell-raising teenager at the time.
After the sisters’ mother dies in a car accident, their father Nick returns to Genoa City, and Casey recalls memories of being raped by Nick. When she went to confront the sick man, she discovered he was trying to do the same thing to Nikki and ended up putting an end to both him and his misdeeds. .
From there, Casey began to recover and even began a relationship with Lucas Prentiss. She also considered reuniting with Snapper. Eventually, she broke off her relationship with Snapper because Lucas hadn’t completely forgotten about his wife Leslie, and she started flirting with him with Snapper’s ex Chris Brooks. We agreed to keep him at arm’s length until he stopped.
Casey played his last major story in 1981. That’s when she was exposed to the terror of her stalker…who quickly decided it was better to terrorize Nicky. Since then, the doctor has occasionally returned to Genoa City for visits, but that’s about it.
See where Casey fits into Nicki’s storyline in the photo gallery below, which looks back at her checkered past and uncertain future.
