Cassie Newman is a fictional character from The Young and the Restless, an American soap opera on the CBS network. Portrayed by Camryn Grimes, the character was introduced on March 19, 1997, by William J. Bell as the biological daughter of Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) who had been adopted.[1] Grace Turner (Jennifer Gareis), Sharon's best friend, tracked Cassie down in hopes of reuniting her with Sharon, but decided to keep the girl for herself. A year passed before Sharon learned Cassie was her daughter, regaining custody with her husband Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow), who adopted her.

In 2005, the producers decided to kill off Cassie by having her die from injuries sustained in a car accident, the episode aired on May 24, 2005.[2] The character's death was felt in storyline for years to follow, leading to the dissolution of her parents' marriage and numerous events thereafter. Grimes continued to recur following her character's death, usually in flashbacks, dreams or as a hallucination to the mentally ill; these returns aired from June 7, 2005, until June 14, 2007, and again on May 6, 2009, and March 15, 2010.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Grimes' final return as a hallucination was over the course of July 8, 2013, to October 30, 2014, during which the actress would return to The Young and the Restless as a main cast member, as Cassie's previously unknown twin sister, Mariah Copeland.[16] In January 2020, it was reported that Grimes would be reprising the role of Cassie, appearing on February 7.[17] She then made another one-off appearance on December 24, 2021.

Both the actress and character were well received by fans and enjoyed critical acclaim, with Grimes becoming the youngest recipient of the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2000, at age 10.
