Relationships
Dave Reyes
Cassandra and Dave are grade school friends and they grew up together in Vermont Square in South L.A. Even after Cassandra became a famous actress and Dave a detective, they stayed friends.
Samantha Massey
- "If you were a cartoon, Massey, you'd have hearts for eyes."
- —Dave, about Sam meeting Cassandra
Sam stays at Cassandra's place during the events of the book and is a big fan of her work, not just as an actress but also as a philanthropist. Cassandra comes to like and respect her and they become friends. Sam tells her that she admires her work and that "A Hill To Die On" is one of her favorite movies of all time.
While talking about Dave, Sam notices a subtle shift in Cassandra's voice, which is more sentimental and sincere. Sam has the option to tell her that they did not go on a date, ask to know more about Cassandra and Dave, or say that she is going out with Dave and ask if that is a problem. Cassandra also says to Sam that she had seen Dave take a lot of girls out for dinner but his way of looking at Sam was different.
Hayley Rose
In Chapter 5, Cassandra tells Sam that Hayley Rose is a spoiled egocentric diva and an absolute nightmare to work with. She feels that Hayley will do anything to get ahead. Cassandra is well aware that Hayley's talent at singing doesn't translate all that well to acting. At the LA.R.A. gala, she suggests that Hayley's only contribution to the film is to attract teenage viewers. Hayley has called Cassandra a washed-out has-been.
Despite her low opinion of Hayley's acting abilities and personality, Cassandra remains classy and professional while working directly with Hayley. Unaware of Hayley's complicity in her father's crimes, Cassandra even tries to protect her by holding her back and preventing her from trying to reason with him during his rampage at the studio.
Ryan Summers
It's not clear whether Cassandra is actually friends with Ryan Summers, but she gets on with him well enough both on and off the set, likely due to their shared fondness for Dave and the tendency to work together as co-stars.
James Ashton
Cassandra seemed to enjoy filming the adaptation of James's play and is happy to meet Your Character. She does not seem to have particularly strong feelings about all the changes being made to James' work, though she admits that there are rather a lot.
Victoria Fontaine
She starred alongside with Victoria in The Warmest Winter, where the two played lovers.
