	The intelligent, slightly spoiled daughter of the owner of a successful printing business, Alan ([[Denis Lill]]) and his wife Pam ([[Wanda Ventham]]), Cassandra was an ambitious employee of the local bank. She made her first ''Only Fools and Horses'' appearance in the episode ''[[Yuppy Love]]'', in which she attended the same [[adult education]] class as [[Rodney Trotter\|Rodney]]. The two first met when Rodney accidentally took her raincoat from the cloakroom, thinking it was his. They met again at a disco later that evening, at which Rodney's friends Mickey Pearce and Jevon unsuccessfully asked her for a dance. Rodney then bet £20 that he would be successful and, to their horror, she agreed to dance with him. Cassandra also offered to give him a lift home, and they exchanged telephone numbers. However, as he was ashamed to take her home to Nelson Mandela House, he pretended he lived in a more upmarket location on King's Avenue and was duly left stranded as it began to pour with rain. Again he took the wrong coat, getting drenched as he walked home.

	Originally [[John Sullivan (writer)\|John Sullivan]] wanted to make Cassandra a girlfriend of [[Trigger (Only Fools and Horses)\|Trigger]], [[Denzil (Only Fools and Horses)\|Denzil]] or an admirer of [[Boycie]], but decided that, like Del, Rodney needed a long-term relationship.~~{{citation needed\|date=January 2012}}~~		Originally [[John Sullivan (writer)\|John Sullivan]] wanted to make Cassandra a girlfriend of [[Trigger (Only Fools and Horses)\|Trigger]], [[Denzil (Only Fools and Horses)\|Denzil]] or an admirer of [[Boycie]], but decided that, like Del, Rodney needed a long-term relationship.

	Their relationship blossomed throughout the sixth series; In [[The Unlucky Winner Is...]], Cassandra went to Spain with Rodney and Del, and had to pretend to be Del's wife and Rodney's stepmother. In ''[[Sickness and Wealth]]'', Rodney announced that they were engaged; they married in the final episode of series 6, ''[[Little Problems]]'', after which they moved into their own flat. Her marriage to Rodney was not without its problems; Rodney envied Cassandra's privileged upbringing and her qualifications. When Cassandra wanted to build herself a career at the bank, Rodney was outraged, as he wanted her to be little more than a housewife, and have his dinner on the table for when he got home from work.
