The '''Cassadine's''' are a fictional aristocratic family on the American [[soap opera]] ''[[General Hospital (show)|General Hospital]]''. Various family members have been sometime residents of Port Charles and of the private Cassadine-owned island in Greece.
   
  +
==Background==
โˆ’
The Cassadines made their first appearance in the 1980s, when [[Mikkos Cassadine]], the patriarch of the family, along with his brothers Victor and Tony, were involved in various nefarious plans, including the Ice Princess storyline, a plot to freeze the world using a weather machine.
 
  +
The Cassadine's made their first appearance in 1981, when [[Mikkos Cassadine]], the patriarch of the family, along with his brothers [[Victor Cassadine|Victor]] and [[Tony Cassadine|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 was Victor was arrested. Following this, Mikkos' widow [[Helena Cassadine]] appears in [[Port Charles (city)|Port Charles]] just in time to curse [[Luke and Laura]] from the sidelines of their wedding as revenge.
   
โˆ’
The Cassadines also abducted [[Laura Webber|Laura Webber Spencer]] and forced her to marry Stavros, after telling Laura that Luke was dead. During her captivity in Greece, Laura gave birth to Stavros's son Prince [[Nikolas Cassadine]]. When Laura discovered Luke was alive, she left 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. Helena has been obsessed with gaining control over Nikolas, who is heir to the Cassadine legacy. She brought back her dead son, Stavros, back to life early this decade, after keeping him in the basement of General Hospital for many years. Recently, she has focused most of her attention on her great-grandson, Spencer Cassadine.
+
In 1982, the Cassadines also abducted [[Laura Spencer]] and forced her to marry Helena's son, [[Stavros Cassadine|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. Stavros follows Laura back to Port Charles and attempts to "reclaim" his wife, however after a brief struggle with Luke; he is apparently killed after falling down a flight a stairs at [[General Hospital (location)|General Hospital]].
   
  +
Stefan eventually took control of the family and in 1996, he and Nikolas moved to Port Charles with [[Alexis Davis]]. 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 often terrorizes its citizens. Helena has been obsessed with gaining control over Nikolas, who is heir to the Cassadine legacy.

โˆ’
'''Stefan Darius Mikkosovich Cassadine'''<ref>Full name stated on-air on May 19, 1998.</ref> is a [[fictional character]] played by actor [[Stephen Nichols]] from July 1996 until October 16, 2003 on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] [[soap opera]] ''[[General Hospital]]''.
 
   
  +
In 2001, Helena brought her dead son, Stavros, back to life, after keeping him in the basement of GH for over a decade. However this was short lived as Stavros was presumed to have been killed for good after Luke pushed him into a bottomless pit. That same year Alexis was overjoyed when she discovered her sister Kristina alive and well, learning that Mikkos had her hidden from Helena. Alexis and Kristina quickly formed a bond but this was cut short when just a year later when Kristina was killed during an incident with the mob leaving Alexis heartbroken.
โˆ’
Stefan is the second son of villain Mikkos Cassadine โ€” who once attempted to freeze the world with a weather machine in the an infamous 1980s [[Luke and Laura]] storyline โ€” and his equally evil wife [[Helena Cassadine|Helena]]. The complex and often dark character alternated between playing protective uncle to nephew [[Nikolas Cassadine]] and tender would-be lover of [[Laura Spencer]], and his obsessive vendetta against [[Luke Spencer]], whom he blamed for the death of his brother [[Stavros Cassadine]] and for his own loss of Laura.
 
   
  +
In 2003, Luke and Stefan got into a one last standoff, which resulted in Stefan getting stabbed and killed on [[Spoon Island]]. At which time with seemingly every vengeful Cassadine out of the way, Nikolas declared the war between the Spencer's and the Cassadine's over. A few years later, Nikolas became a single father when his [[Courtney Matthews|fiancรฉe]] dies after giving birth to his son whom he named [[Spencer Cassadine]].
โˆ’
Stefan first came to [[Port Charles, New York (fictional city)|Port Charles]] in 1996 with his teenage nephew Nikolas Cassadine, the secret son of Laura Spencer and Stefan's older brother Stavros. The Cassadines are descended from a titled, aristocratic Russian family who fled to Greece following the 1917 Russian Revolution. Stefan had raised Nikolas since infancy after Laura had escaped the captivity of Stavros and been forced to leave Nikolas behind, after Helena murdered Laura's mother when she tried to contact him.
 
   
  +
In 2013, Helena is shot and killed on board the [[Haunted Star]] by Luke. Luke and Laura were also shocked to discover Stavros was alive once again and holding [[Lulu Spencer]] hostage on Cassadine island. After rescuing their daughter from Stavros, Luke and Laura trap him in his ice chamber, freezing him as revenge. In less than a year, [[Victor Cassadine]] returns to Port Charles revealing he has preserved the bodies of Helena and Stavros and successfully resurrects his family. Stavros, however was quickly killed again with Victor subsequently being shot and killed himself. Helena lived for a little over a year before revealing her own health was in deterioration, she later dies on Cassadine Island. After Helena's death, her journal revealed that Nikolas killed his grandmother by poisoning her.
โˆ’
Stefan battled his mother Helena Cassadine for control of Nikolas and control of the family company and was official head of the family by the time Nikolas was seven. His mother, emotionally abusive to him during his childhood, viewed him as weak and soft, which he was only in comparison to the more homicidal members of the Cassadine family. Helena strongly favored his older brother Stavros and alternately ignored and belittled the more sensitive Stefan. Stefan loved and protected [[Alexis Davis]], who was raised as his first cousin but later turned out to be his half-sister, both children of Mikkos. He paid for her to attend boarding school in the United States as a teenager and encouraged her to go into the legal profession. However, he also dominated her and expected complete loyalty and obedience from her. Alexis was charged with doing much of the legwork for "Timoria", Stefan's planned vendetta against the Spencer family and General Hospital, both of which Stefan blamed for the presumed death of his brother Stavros. In their first years on the show, fans detected romantic chemistry in Stefan's scenes with Alexis. Stefan expressed disapproval of Alexis's relationship with [[Ned Ashton]] and she later went to great lengths to break up his engagement to [[Katherine Bell]], whom she disapproved of. Fans of the romantic pairing called themselves the "Gutter Rats", though no actual romantic relationship was ever alluded to in their scenes together.

[[File:CHValentinShr.gif|thumb|180x180px|Valentin and daughter Charlotte]]
  +
In 2016, Mikkosโ€™s illegitimate son, [[Valentin Cassadine|Valentin]] was discovered on Cassadine Island. A few years prior to her death, Helena revealed Valentin had been disowned by his father upon birth, denying him the privileges of being a Cassadine, and that he is the most lethal and most dangerous Cassadine of them all; even she was terrified of him. Valentin managed to take Nikolasโ€™ family and friends hostage on the island, and forced Nikolas to sign over his entire fortune. When a struggle ensued, Nikolas falls over a balcony and is presumably killed. Valentin escapes and flees to Port Charles, where he attempts to kidnap and kill his grand nephew Spencer. However he is quickly discovered and taken away by the authorities. Laura, fearing for Spencer's safety, decided to send her grandson away to boarding school. Following Nikolas' apparent death, Valentin is released from jail and takes residence at Wyndemere. Valentin has one daughter, [[Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez)|Charlotte Cassadine]] with [[Lulu Spencer-Falconeri (Emme Rylan)|Lulu Spencer-Falconeri]] via IVF. In October 2017, it was revealed that Valentin and Lulu now have shared custody.

โˆ’
Laura Spencer contacted Stefan after her baby daughter [[Lulu Spencer]] was diagnosed with [[aplastic anemia]] and was in need of a bone marrow transplant from a matched donor. Nikolas turned out to be a match. True to the love-hate relationship Stefan always had with Laura, Stefan forced Laura to beg for her daughter's life. He then allowed Nikolas to donate the life-saving bone marrow to his sister. At the same time, Stefan launched his Timoria plot, to exact revenge on Luke and Laura for (presumably) killing his brother, Stavros, while he was attempted to rape Laura Spencer fifteen years prior. Stefan later married Luke's sister [[Bobbie Spencer]] as part of his revenge plot against the Spencers. The marriage ended in divorce after Stefan caught Bobbie investigating his actions against the Spencers.
 
  +
Alexis, who now carries the Davis name, has given birth to three daughters. As a teen she had a one night stand and became pregnant, later giving birth to her first daughter [[Samantha McCall]], whose father was later revealed to be [[Julian Jerome]]. Alexis was forced by Mikkos to give Sam up for adoption after she was born. In 2002, Alexis had a one night stand with [[Sonny Corinthos]] and gave birth to their daughter, whom she named [[Kristina Corinthos-Davis|Kristina]] in honor of her late sister.
   
  +
Sam came to Port Charles a year later in 2003, however, she and Alexis both remained completely unaware they were mother and daughter. Sam also had an affair with Sonny and became pregnant, naming the child [[Lila McCall|Lila]]. When Kristina developed leukemia, the doctors told Alexis that Lilaโ€™s stem cells could be used to save her. Unfortunately, after Alexis asked Samโ€™s permission for the procedure, Sam went into early labor and the child was stillborn. Lilaโ€™s stem cells were then used to save Kristinaโ€™s life, leaving Alexis grateful but Sam devastated. In 2005, Alexis married [[Ric Lansing]], and gave birth to her third daughter, [[Molly Lansing-Davis]].
โˆ’
In the intervening years, Stefan had an affair with and later became engaged to Katherine Bell. This relationship was derailed for a time after his "cousin" Alexis produced proof that Katherine was Stefan's half-sister Natasha. This was eventually exposed as a falsehood, when it turned out that Alexis was the real Natasha. This revelation rocked Stefan and he reacted as a true Cassadine. Stefan banished Alexis, but eventually forgave her. Katherine fell off a parapet during her engagement party to Stefan, the victim of a failed attempt to murder Helena by Luke and Alexis. Katherine was rescued by Helena Cassadine and restored to health, but died in a second fall from the parapet (this time assisted by Helena) soon after her return.
 
   
  +
It wasnโ€™t until 2006, that Alexis and Sam learned they were mother and daughter; neither of them wanted anything to do with the other. Their relationship was further strained when Alexis witnessed Ric sleeping with Sam. At which time, Alexis divorced Ric.
โˆ’
Meanwhile, Laura was harboring a secret about Nikolas, which strained her relationship with her husband and family. Eventually, Luke discovered that she had slept with Stefan and believed that Stefan, not Stavros, was Nikolas' father, and had lied to him about it. Meanwhile, Stefan had to face Nikolas about the secret that Stefan, too, had kept. Nikolas lashed out at Stefan, moving out and depending heavily on his brother, Lucky Spencer, and his friend, Emily Quartermaine, for support. Stefan did not approve of Nikolas's choices for companions, feeling that they were below his stature as a Cassadine. In particular, Stefan felt that Nikolas should always be wary of Spencers, and not trust them as he had come to trust Lucky. Eventually the two reconciled. Nikolas had always loved Stefan like a father, after all.
 
   
  +
Today, Alexis and Sam have now built a strong bond and Sam is very protective of her younger sisters, Kristina and Molly. In 2012, Sam gave birth to her son with her husband [[Jason Morgan]], whom they named [[Danny Morgan]]. As of 2016, Alexis marries and divorces [[Julian Jerome (William deVry)|Julian Jerome]]. In 2017, Sam gave birth to her second child, a daughter named [[Scout Cain|Emily Scout Cain]] with former Navy SEAL and her ex Jason's identical twin, [[Drew Cain (Billy Miller)|Drew Cain]].
โˆ’
DNA testing later proved that Stavros was actually Nikolas's father, much to Stefan's bitter disappointment. The damage was already done to Luke and Laura, however, and they divorced. Shortly before Luke and Laura divorced, Stefan and Laura began a relationship, and Stefan felt hopeful that he could regain his relationship with Laura, the woman he had so loved and hated over the years. Unfortunately, their relationship ended bitterly, after Stefan learned that Laura's presumed dead son, Lucky, was alive, and temporarily withheld the information from her. Laura eventually learned about this from Luke, and violently confronted Stefan. Laura could not forgive him for the lie, and Stefan finally accepted that he and Laura had no future.

==Cassadine Industries==
โˆ’
Stefan later fell in love with Quartermaine cousin Chloe Morgan and was framed for her murder when his back-from-the-dead brother, Stavros, killed her. The plot was eventually revealed and Stefan was cleared.
 
  +
'''Cassadine Industries '''is a large international conglomerate, which was founded by the Cassadine family in the late 1970s as a front to cover for their dirty dealings. But the business took off, being controlled by [[Mikkos Cassadine]], [[Stavros Cassadine]], [[Helena Cassadine]], and [[Nikolas Cassadine]] amongst 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 is the only living son hence removing any claim [[Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher)|Nikolas]] and [[Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel)|Spencer]] had on the inheritance and making him sole heir to the Cassadine Empire with his daughter [[Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez)|Charlotte]] to follow after him.
โˆ’
He appeared more aggressive and continually more deranged and desperate in his final year on the show. Stefan returned to the show after an absence. He had plotted an arranged marriage for Nikolas with Lydia Karenin, a wealthy Russian heiress, to restore the Cassadine family's wealth. He ordered Nikolas to marry Lydia, but Nikolas was reluctant to follow through. Stefan attempted to kill Nikolas's real love, [[Emily Bowen-Quartermaine]], but pushed Lucky's girlfriend Summer (a Laura look-alike), off the cliff by mistake. His secret was well hidden, though, he thought. Stefan's loan from Lorenzo Alcazar was due (this loan transpired as Stefan re-entered the show); Stefan and Lorenzo's henchmen fought quite a bit with him in his final weeks. At this time as well, Luke Spencer kidnapped and put Stefan on "trial" in front of the entire Port Charles television audience, taped by [[Dillon Quartermaine]]. Luke intended for Stefan to admit to the attempted murder of Emily Bowen-Quartermaine and actual murder of Summer Holloway. Stefan apparently died after he was burned (and disfigured) and later stabbed in a knife fight with Luke Spencer.

He was killed in the war, but his wife never remarried and for 60 years she wore his bracelet. The bracelet was smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the 1900s in the lining of a bodice belonging to a Cassadine woman. Legend holds that when a Cassadine gives a woman that bracelet, he gives her his heart. Nikolas Cassadine gave the bracelet to Emily Quartermaine in 2003.

In 2001, the long-running Spencer-Cassadine feud formed the basis of one of the major story arcs on ''General Hospital'', with the character of Stavros having been recently reintroduced. A plot involving [[bioterrorism]] was beginning to unfold, with Stavros and his mother [[Helena Cassadine|Helena]] as the primary antagonists. However, following the terrorist attacks of [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]], the producers quickly altered the storyline, and Stavros was written out of the series.<ref name="theherald.co.za 2002-01-07">[http://www.theherald.co.za/herald/2002/01/07/lstyle/soap.htm Sept 11 changed US daytime TV (1/07/2002) - theherald.co.za]</ref>

*'''Prince Stanislaus Cassadine''' <br> Stanislaus Cassadine never appeared onscreen. He was mentioned by Helena Cassadine in a conversation with her great-grandson, Spencer. Helena described him as a "blood-thirsty, cut-throat rebel," that was the most powerful Cassadine of them all. He was said to have tripled the Cassadine family power base before he met an untimely death. He was married to Katya Cassadine, with whom he had one son, Ivan and a daughter, Irina.<ref>Irina (I) is the paternal aunt of Mikkos, making her the sister of Ivan.</ref> Stanislaus was also the grandfather of Mikkos, Victor, Tony and Sophia Cassadine. When Nikolas Cassadine proposed to [[Emily Quartermaine (Natalia Livingston)|Emily Quartermaine]] in 2003, he gifted her with Katya's engagement ring, because she was known to be "somewhat normal" among the other crazy Cassadines.<ref>http://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/gh/older/2003/gh-trans-07-04-03.shtml</ref>
โˆ’
In 1983, Stavros was originally introduced as the cousin of the late [[Mikkos Cassadine]], who tried to freeze the world with a weather machine, but in 1996 his history was [[retconned]] so that he was the firstborn son of Mikkos and his evil wife [[Helena Cassadine]]. He abducted [[Laura Spencer]], told her [[Luke Spencer]] was dead and persuaded her to marry him. He fathered her son [[Nikolas Cassadine]]. When Laura learned that Luke was alive, she returned to Port Charles, intending to just look at him from afar and then return to Greece. Obsessed with Laura (whom he called Lasha), Stavros followed her and was believed to have died at General Hospital shortly after falling down a flight of stairs while attempting to shoot Luke and "reclaim" his wife. However, in 2001 it was revealed that his mother [[Helena Cassadine]] had arranged to have him placed in cryonic suspension in a secret room underneath General Hospital. Stavros was revived and came back for another round of murder ([[Chloe Morgan]], who had discovered he was not "Lucien Cane" as he'd been claiming) and mayhem before he was again presumed killed in another fight with Luke---falling into a deep shaft, laughing all the way down. After his apparent death, Stavros continued to "appear" to his son Nikolas in 2002 and in a ''[[A Christmas Carol|Christmas Carol]]''-like dream of Luke Spencer in 2003.

Revision as of 11:44, 14 June 2019

The Cassadine's are a fictional aristocratic family on the American soap opera General Hospital. Various family members have been sometime residents of Port Charles and of the private Cassadine-owned island in Greece.

Background

The Cassadine's made their first appearance in 1981, when Mikkos Cassadine, the patriarch of the family, along with his brothers Victor 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 was 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. Stavros follows Laura back to Port Charles and attempts to "reclaim" his wife, however after a brief struggle with Luke; he is apparently killed after falling down a flight a stairs at General Hospital.

Stefan eventually took control of the family and in 1996, he and Nikolas moved to Port Charles with Alexis Davis. 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 often terrorizes its citizens. Helena has been obsessed with gaining control over Nikolas, who is heir to the Cassadine legacy.

In 2001, Helena brought her dead son, Stavros, back to life, after keeping him in the basement of GH for over a decade. However this was short lived as Stavros was presumed to have been killed for good after Luke pushed him into a bottomless pit. That same year Alexis was overjoyed when she discovered her sister Kristina alive and well, learning that Mikkos had her hidden from Helena. Alexis and Kristina quickly formed a bond but this was cut short when just a year later when Kristina was killed during an incident with the mob leaving Alexis heartbroken.

In 2003, Luke and Stefan got into a one last standoff, which resulted in Stefan getting stabbed and killed on Spoon Island. At which time with seemingly every vengeful Cassadine out of the way, Nikolas declared the war between the Spencer's and the Cassadine's over. A few years later, Nikolas became a single father when his fiancรฉe dies after giving birth to his son whom he named Spencer Cassadine.

In 2013, Helena is shot and killed on board the Haunted Star by Luke. Luke and Laura were also shocked to discover Stavros was alive once again and holding Lulu Spencer hostage on Cassadine island. After rescuing their daughter from Stavros, Luke and Laura trap him in his ice chamber, freezing him as revenge. In less than a year, Victor Cassadine returns to Port Charles revealing he has preserved the bodies of Helena and Stavros and successfully resurrects his family. Stavros, however was quickly killed again with Victor subsequently being shot and killed himself. Helena lived for a little over a year before revealing her own health was in deterioration, she later dies on Cassadine Island. After Helena's death, her journal revealed that Nikolas killed his grandmother by poisoning her.

Valentin and daughter Charlotte

In 2016, Mikkosโ€™s illegitimate son, Valentin was discovered on Cassadine Island. A few years prior to her death, Helena revealed Valentin had been disowned by his father upon birth, denying him the privileges of being a Cassadine, and that he is the most lethal and most dangerous Cassadine of them all; even she was terrified of him. Valentin managed to take Nikolasโ€™ family and friends hostage on the island, and forced Nikolas to sign over his entire fortune. When a struggle ensued, Nikolas falls over a balcony and is presumably killed. Valentin escapes and flees to Port Charles, where he attempts to kidnap and kill his grand nephew Spencer. However he is quickly discovered and taken away by the authorities. Laura, fearing for Spencer's safety, decided to send her grandson away to boarding school. Following Nikolas' apparent death, Valentin is released from jail and takes residence at Wyndemere. Valentin has one daughter, Charlotte Cassadine with Lulu Spencer-Falconeri via IVF. In October 2017, it was revealed that Valentin and Lulu now have shared custody.

Alexis and daughters Kristina, Molly and Sam

Alexis, who now carries the Davis name, has given birth to three daughters. As a teen she had a one night stand and became pregnant, later giving birth to her first daughter Samantha McCall, whose father was later revealed to be Julian Jerome. Alexis was forced by Mikkos to give Sam up for adoption after she was born. In 2002, Alexis had a one night stand with Sonny Corinthos and gave birth to their daughter, whom she named Kristina in honor of her late sister.

Sam came to Port Charles a year later in 2003, however, she and Alexis both remained completely unaware they were mother and daughter. Sam also had an affair with Sonny and became pregnant, naming the child Lila. When Kristina developed leukemia, the doctors told Alexis that Lilaโ€™s stem cells could be used to save her. Unfortunately, after Alexis asked Samโ€™s permission for the procedure, Sam went into early labor and the child was stillborn. Lilaโ€™s stem cells were then used to save Kristinaโ€™s life, leaving Alexis grateful but Sam devastated. In 2005, Alexis married Ric Lansing, and gave birth to her third daughter, Molly Lansing-Davis.

It wasnโ€™t until 2006, that Alexis and Sam learned they were mother and daughter; neither of them wanted anything to do with the other. Their relationship was further strained when Alexis witnessed Ric sleeping with Sam. At which time, Alexis divorced Ric.

Today, Alexis and Sam have now built a strong bond and Sam is very protective of her younger sisters, Kristina and Molly. In 2012, Sam gave birth to her son with her husband Jason Morgan, whom they named Danny Morgan. As of 2016, Alexis marries and divorces Julian Jerome. In 2017, Sam gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Emily Scout Cain with former Navy SEAL and her ex Jason's identical twin, Drew Cain.

Cassadine Industries

Cassadine Industries is a large international conglomerate, which was founded by the Cassadine family in the late 1970s as a front to cover for their dirty dealings. But the business took off, being controlled by Mikkos Cassadine, Stavros Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, and Nikolas Cassadine amongst 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 is 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.
