Actress Nicole Forester was my guest in The Locher Room on May 12, 2020 to reminisce about her time playing "Cassie" on Guiding Light and fill us in on what she's been up to since leaving the soap.

Nicole spent 13 years in Los Angeles, acting in television, commercials, and film before moving to the Big Apple. Within her first 3 months of arrival, she booked 3 national commercials and was offered the coveted 3-year contract to play “Cassie” when actress Laura Wright left the show and headed to the west coast.

During her 3 years on Guiding Light Nicole worked on over 300 episodes covering a variety of storylines, including the tragic death of her daughter "Tammy," for which she earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2008.

Shortly after her contract on Guiding Light ended, Nicole got married, moved from NYC to her (and her husband’s) home state of Michigan, and gave birth to a daughter, then, 20 months later, a son. Their family of four are thriving in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where they are surrounded by family and friends, and Nicole gladly commutes to film and tv sets near and far.

Since leaving Guiding Light, Nicole has continually worked in primetime television and movies. She can be currently seen in the recurring role of "Christie" on Chicago Fire. She starred opposite Kelsey Grammer in the Starz critically acclaimed series, Boss, opposite Richard Gere in The Double, opposite Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher to name a small few.
