General Hospital: A glance at Cassandra Pierce's character
According to the storyline of General Hospital, Cassandra Pierce was portrayed by Jessica Tuck from September 20, 2017, to November 12, 2019. Cassandra was introduced as a villainous character who previously ran drug trafficking operations. She was enemies with Valentin Cassadine, Nina Reeves, Anna Devane, Sonny Corinthos, and Nikolas Cassadine.
It was revealed in the show that Cassandra had a history with Valentin Cassadine, who had both worked with her and been romantically involved with her. Cassandra wanted to make amends, but Valentin rejected her. When she tried to blackmail him, he had no choice but to comply. However, he was secretly working undercover to bring her down by collaborating unofficially with the WSB.
As the show progressed, Cassandra fell into a coma on New Year's Eve in 2017 (shown on January 2, 2018). She woke up seven months later and was kidnapped by a man wearing a Cassadine ring. The mysterious man helped Cassandra stay off the radar of the W.S.B. However, she was arrested on September 17, 2019.
Later, Valentin Cassadine gave Cassandra a boat to ride on. When she wanted to tell him who her mysterious partner was, Valentin said he did not care since he simply wanted her to get on the boat and bid her farewell.
Cassandra was confused and shocked when she found a bomb on the boat. When Valentin pressed a button on an app on his phone, the boat exploded, presumably killing Cassandra in the process.
With rumors circulating about Jessica Tuck returning to General Hospital as Cassandra Pierce, fans are eager to learn whether the actress will reprise her role and what awaits her character on the show.
