All My Children: Wishful Casting-Davetta Sherwood as Angie's Daughter Cassie
All My Children is reportedly casting Cassie the daughter Angie (Debbie Morgan) and Jacob (Darnell Williams) adopted on the Loving spinoff The City. Who would be better to take on the role than Young and the Restless alum Davetta Sherwood (ex-Lily)?
During Sherwood's brief run replacing Christel Khalil as Lily on Y&R, Sherwood proved that original doesn't always mean "real". Sherwood's take on Lily was street smart, sassy and realistic. It was easy to believe she was the daughter of Victoria Rowell's Dru. Many fans-including this one-cried foul when Khalil decided she wanted her old role back-after having left of her own accord-and Y&R booted Sherwood.
Can't you just see Sherwood in scenes with soap legends Morgan and Williams? She would also be a great romantic interest for Dre Woods (Sterling Sulieman) and a potential rival for Pine Valley teen queen Colby Chandler (Ambyr Childers). Then if they could only get Marcy Walker back as Colby's mom and Jesse and Angie's worst nightmare Liza Colby, I might start watching AMC more regularly again, that is unless I see someone eating pancakes.

Wasn't Cassandra white?

LOL I didn't think so??? I watched The City sporadically. I know she tried to adopt a white child named Kayla, but there was this racist group that didn't let her, she adopted Cassie near the end of the show. I think she was black.

You're probably right. Wikipedia doesn't say what Cassandra's race.
"While in New York, Angie opens a medical clinic in a building owned by billionaire Sydney Chase (Morgan Fairchild), and eventually marries Jacob. Almost immediately upon reaching SoHo, the couple takes in a foster child named Kayla, who happens to be Caucasian. A group of white supremacists object to the notion of an African American couple raising a White child. Frankie narrowly escapes with his life when a bomb detonates in a bar in the same building which houses the clinic. Undaunted, Angie and Jacob continue to raise Kayla, but are heartbroken when she is adopted by another couple. Some time later, Angie finds an abandoned baby girl in a dumpster. Naming the girl Cassandra, Angie and Jacob ultimately adopt her."

She would be the perfect choice, but when was the last time AMC did ANYTHING right, besides Angie & Jesse's return? Wait a minute. It might come true. LOL!
