  1. Cass and Frankie's 1990 wedding was so perfect. As soap weddings go it wasn't grand or glamorous but it was the most beautiful and intimate soap wedding I've ever seen. Stephen Schnetzer and Alice Barrett hit every nuance and were never better as one of Another World's most beloved couples ever.
