The Cassadine's made their first appearance in 1981, when Mikkos Cassadine, the patriarch of the family, along with his brothers Victor Cassadine and Tony, were involved in various nefarious plans, including the Ice Princess storyline; a plot to freeze the world using a weather machine. When Luke, Laura and Robert Scorpio foiled their plans, both Mikkos and Tony were killed in a struggle while Victor was arrested. Following this, Mikkos' widow Helena Cassadine appears in Port Charles just in time to curse Luke and Laura from the sidelines of their wedding as revenge.

In 1982, the Cassadines also abducted Laura Spencer and forced her to marry Helena's son, Stavros, after telling Laura that Luke was dead. During her captivity in Greece, Laura gave birth to Stavros' son Prince Nikolas Cassadine. When Laura discovered Luke was alive, she escaped after a year of captivity, leaving Nikolas behind in Greece to be raised by his uncle Stefan Cassadine, Helena's second son. Stefan and Laura had also been lovers and Laura believed Stefan to be her son's father instead of Stavros.

Alexis was then revealed to be one of Mikkos' two illegitimate daughters with Swedish opera singer Kristin Bergman, the other being Kristina Cassadine. Alexis was given the birth name of Natasha Cassadine, and when she rightfully received her royal titles, she renounced them, and legally changed her last name to Davis. Helena also followed her family back to Port Charles and became obsessed with gaining control over Nikolas, who is heir to the Cassadine legacy.

Cassadine Industries[]

Cassadine Industries codicil (2023)

Cassadine Industries is a large international conglomerate, which was founded by the Cassadine family in the late 1970s as a front for their dirty dealings. But the business took off, being controlled by Mikkos Cassadine, Stavros Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, and Nikolas Cassadine among others. In December 2005, a single Cassadine Industries account was estimated to be worth $15 million at the time. As of May 2009, Cassadine Industries was estimated to be worth over 20 billion dollars.

In November 2016, Valentin Cassadine became the CEO of Cassadine Industries, after it's revealed through Mikkos' hidden will that he left all of the Cassadine Estate to the eldest living son. With Stavros and Stefan dead, Valentin was believed to be the only living son hence removing any claim Nikolas and Spencer had on the inheritance and making him sole heir to the Cassadine Empire with his daughter Charlotte to follow after him.

However, in August 2019, it was revealed that Mikkos created a codicil to his will and that codicil proved Valentin is in fact Helena's son and not Mikkos'. As a result, Nikolas revealed that the entire inheritance belongs to him and Spencer. In October 2021, Victor Cassadine was not only revealed to be alive, but also Valentin's father.

On September 15, 2023, at the Invader, Alexis and Spencer go over the legal codicil for CI. The Cassadine estate is about to be handed over to him as it's been six months since his father split, but he has no idea how to translate the legal jargon in the document he was sent. Alexis is happy to look over the document, noting it's very complicated, and she'll need time to get back to him. Spencer is grateful to her, and for having family helping him with this.

Once his wife Ava learned of their affair, she fought with Esme, who went over the castle parapet, and was presumed dead. Two months later, she turns up alive, having broken into the castle, and is caught by Nikolas. He's stunned to learn of her condition, that she promises is a real pregnancy, and that he's the father - she's willing to take a paternity test. She sees the baby as her get-out-of-jail-free card, blackmailing him. He agrees, but ends up locking her into an abandoned suite in the castle. Esme was held at Wyndemere secretly as a hostage until she gives birth, with Elizabeth Baldwin in on the plan, and taking care of her prenatal needs as her private nurse. On New Years Eve, Esme plans to set fire to the storage room using a match in order to escape Nikolas, then she intentionally falls off the parapet into the ocean. She survives, but has amnesia, and is taken into custody at Spring Ridge Prison. On February 15, 2023, the baby was born in Wyndermere Castle, with the help of his paternal grandmother Mayor Laura Collins and maternal great uncle Dr. Kevin Collins, and paramedics, while Nikolas is on the run. Nearly a year later, when he and Spencer realize Esme has her memory back and is dangerous, Nikolas leaves with Ace to protect him.
