Cassie Brady is a fictional character from the NBC, daytime, soap opera, and Days of Our Lives. Cassie and her twin brother, Rex Brady, first appeared in Salem on the Fourth of July for meteor shower in 2002. They believed in the story of being aliens and were later revealed to be the children of Roman Brady and Kate Roberts.
At first, Cassie pursues and eventually kisses Shawn-Douglas Brady, unaware that he is her cousin. Cassie then becomes involved with Lucas Roberts, also unaware that he is her half-brother, almost sleeping with him before learning of their relationship. The twins keep their true parentage secret for a while in hopes of joining the DiMera family. Soon after their secret is revealed publicly, Cassie is killed by the "Salem Stalker" and her stabbed body is staged inside a Thanksgiving piñata. Kate is arrested after being found holding a bloody knife, but the real killer was a mind-controlled Marlena. Months later, Cassie and the other victims are found alive on a remote island, "Melaswen," in a recreation of Salem. Shortly after returning to the real Salem, Cassie is last seen leaving the main floor of the Brady Pub to go upstairs. It is later revealed that she has moved to Chicago.
In 2021, Richard Simms from Soaps She Knows put Cassie on his list of the most hated soap opera characters, commenting that "Maybe it was that she and brother Rex were introduced as aluminum-foil-wrapped aliens. Maybe it was that she very nearly bedded half brother Lucas Horton. Whatever the reason, by the time Cassie's supposedly dead body fell out of a pinata, viewers were pretty much over her. Though she — like the other Salem Stalker victims — later turned up alive, the character's days were numbered, and she left town soon after."
