Upon arrival at an Underground Bunker on Cassadine Island, Mikkos Cassadine disclosed his intention to construct a weather machine capable of generating carbonic snow to freeze the world, threatening global leaders by first targeting Port Charles as a demonstration. B-actress Tiffany Hill, present on the island as Victor Cassadine's girlfriend, was horrified by the scheme. Encountering W.S.B. Agent Robert Scorpio, she chose to assist him, Luke, and Laura in thwarting Mikkos. Concurrently, Port Charles experienced a severe temperature drop and a blizzard, leading to its declaration as a disaster area.
Robert sneaked into Mikkos' bunker, followed by Luke and Laura. They triggered an alarm and while fleeing, stumbled upon an ice chamber containing frozen bodies, including those of Alex Quartermaine and Tony Cassadine. Subsequently captured, they were taken to Mikkos, reuniting with Robert, who had been captured earlier. Luke feigned allegiance to Mikkos, offering to persuade the W.S.B. to surrender. However, during a radio transmission, Luke began revealing their location, prompting Mikkos to angrily shut off the radio. In the ensuing struggle, Mikkos tried to throw Luke into the ice chamber, but instead, Mikkos fell in and perished. Luke then managed to deactivate the machine, thereby saving the world.
In 1982, Laura was kidnapped by the Cassadines and taken hostage on their island. She was forced to marryHelena Cassadine's son, Stavros Cassadine, having deceived Laura into believing that Luke was dead. While held captive in Greece, Laura bore Stavros' son, Prince Nikolas Cassadine. Upon learning that Luke was alive, Laura fled after a year of captivity, leaving Nikolas in Greece to be raised by his uncle, Stefan Cassadine, Helena's second son.
In October 2009, off-screen Valentin Cassadine slowly poisons Helena Cassadine and brutally took over Cassadine Island.
At some point between 2012 and 2013, Helena arranged for the abduction and memory mapping of Drew Quartermaine, subsequently bringing him to Cassadine Island. There, he was held captive by a man named Phillipos Costa, who subjected him to severe physical mistreatment Costa imposed strict rules on Drew, beginning with the assertion that "his life was not his own." Helena observed Costa's actions and provided directives. While on Cassadine Island, Jake Webber, who was thought to be deceased and was also imprisoned there, witnessed Drew's brutal treatment and conditioning at the hands of Costa, as well as Helena's efforts to train him to serve as her personal assassin.
On July 9, 2015, Luke traveled to Cassadine Island in search of his grandson, Jake, following his son Lucky Spencer's revelation that Jake was indeed alive. Lucky had not specified Jake's location, but Luke deduced it to be Cassadine Island and set out there. Upon confronting Helena, she confirmed the truth: after four years, Jake was alive. Luke remained skeptical until Jake, driving his remote control car, inadvertently struck Luke's foot in the living room. With Helena's departure, they were left alone. Jake introduced himself to Luke and inquired about Luke's name.
On July 11, 2016, Valentin is seen lurking around on Cassadine Island. He spies on "Jason Morgan", Sam McCall, Ava Jerome, and Nikolas Cassadine. "Jason" soon realizes that someone else is on the island. Valentin is seen looking at a book of Cassadine lineage before he knocks over a vase. "Jason" and Sam lure him out by falsely proclaiming that they are heading to bed.
They corner Valentin and he claims to be a fisherman named Theo, who was forced to come ashore due to the storm. Sam and "Jason" decide to leave him be, as long as he does what they say. Valentin continues to play his role and goes to warm his hands by the fire. As he is warming his hands, he rolls up his sleeve and you can see the Cassadine family crest tattooed on his forearm.
On July 16, Theo blew his cover and he held a gun on everyone present. On July 18, it was confirmed that Theo is in fact Valentin. On July 19, Valentin forces Nikolas to hand over the Cassadine family fortune to him. As Valentin tries to shoot Ava, Nikolas attacks him, but ends up getting shot and falling over a balcony.
On July 22, Ava seduced Valentin, and then hit him in the head with a book. When Laura Webber lashed at Valentin for shooting Nikolas, Valentin aimed at her, but Kevin Collins stepped in the way and was shot instead. On July 26, Valentin is forced to flee after his captives get the upper hand. He escapes into the tunnels and orders his men to make sure none of them escape.
Budding couple, Jason Morgan (Drew's twin) and Britt Westbourne (Peter's sister) team up and sneak onto the island. Both end up captive, with Jason and Drew shackled in a cellar and Britt and Liesl trapped in the house with Peter trying to sway them to his side. All the captives manage to escape and flee through the tunnels. Later, Peter engaged in a shootout with Jason, causing the unsteady tunnels to collapse. Once the dust settled Jason was no where to be found and was presumably buried underneath the rubble, while Britt, Drew, and Liesl managed to get to safety.
On August 4, 2023, after striking out in Chechnya while searching for the missing Nikolas, clues lead Laura and Kevin to travel to Greece and Cassadine Island. Upon their arrival, Laura speaks with the island's caretaker, Mr. Kostas, who claims he hasn't seen Nikolas but are welcome to search. Their search includes the sub-basement levels - Kevin worried the entire time that this experience might trigger Laura. With no luck, Laura realizes another place her son might be hiding and they leave.
On March 4, 2024, Jason is revealed to be alive having survived the tunnel collapse after all. On March 14, he explained to Michael how the tunnel was blocked from the other side and that he couldn’t get to Britt and the others. He followed the tunnel out, ended up on the beach and headed towards the main house, but there were two men waiting with guns. They took Jason prisoner, flew him out of Greece, and he eventually ended up at Quantico in a room with no windows talking to a man who wanted him to do a job.
