I still say Antonio and Casey would have made a great and very interesting couple

I think Casey is a doll and her character is interesting. Amy Yaskbeck did a wonderful job with the role and has very good comedic talent. I think some people are so hooked on Helen, that other females aren't given a fair shake.

I like Helen the best, but I liked Alex and I really like Casey too.

Casey has been given such a bum rap by some "Wings" fans that I was expecting the worst when the later "Casey" episodes started running on NICK....but I found her to be HILARIOUS!

Amy's comedy timing and delivery are great....and some of those facial expressions of hers really crack me up!

As I've mentioned before, the first season she was a real pain in the butt...but her character was SUPPOSED to be!
However, a season of living on Nantucket with the group seemed to soften her and make her more "one of the gang".

I think that Amy and her character of Casey were a real asset to the "Wings" series....especially during it's final seasons when the show really needed some new characters and story ideas.

I've been defending Casey all along, and I don''t really know why so many Wings fans don't like her. I think Casey is great. She was snobby in the beginning, but in a funny way. then later on, she "became one of the gang", as pilotguy put it.
Casey could be really really funny at times. I agree with pilotguy- Amy had really great comedic timing, and some really funny facial expressions.

One of the funniest things Casey ever did was in that episode when Helen finds out that she's still married to Antonio, so Helen, Antonio, and Brian have to go to Mexico to get Helen and Antonio divorced without Joe finding out, and Helen told Casey to cover for her, and tell Joe that Helen was at the store if he asks.... so anyway, Joe comes over to the lunch counter, and says something not even having to do with Helen, and Casey blurts out, "Helen's at the store!" And then Joe is talking to that woman who was going with Brian to Mexico, and she was about to say who she was going with, and so Casey just stands there and screams. I just think that's so funny because it's so rediculous. And Joe's like, "what are you screaming about?" and she goes, "oh, I saw a mouse. in the kitchen.... before." hahaha. It's just so funny how she says it... so Joe goes into the kitchen. and then Helen, and Antonio, and everyone run out into the hangar.. and them Joe goes to walk into his office, and Casey stands there and SCREAMS again. and Joe's like, "what's going on?!!" and she stands there and says, "...Helen's at the store!"
That whole scene just struck me so funny every time I saw it, and it's one of my favorite Casey moments. lol. I think she's so funny.

At first I wasn't a Casey fan because of how she treated Helen, like Helen was no good or something. Then when she became "one of the gang". I really started to like her. I am one of the rare few who liked her with Brian, and thought they had a great chemistry.

I like Brian and Casey together too! In their own way, they had great comedy chemistry just like Joe and Helen had...only different.

Brian and Casey would banter back and forth, and neither would take the other's nonsense....

Even after the "compulsive sex" business cooled down between them, and they became "platonic housemates", they STILL had great "give and take" chemistry.
One of my favorite later episodes is the one where they're both home sick with a bad case of the flu and Casey has a big date that she's trying to get ready for....

The back-and-forth cracks between the two of them are hilarious, and they eventually developed sort of an "Odd Couple" relationship as housemates who were VERY different, but also alike in some ways.

So while some "Wings" fans may not like the fact that Brian and Casey hooked up in the bedroom, there were a lot of OTHER aspects of their relationship that made them one HILARIOUS team!

And I agree. I think Brian and Casey went well together.
