MIKE KASNOFF (PAST)'S HISTORY
Mike Kasnoff was an auto mechanic whose dream was to be a stock car racer. He met Rosanna Cabot, who was from a wealthy family. Mike asked Rosanna to marry him, but her father, Alex, tried to keep them apart. Mike and Alex had an argument about this, and Alex suffered a fatal heart attack. Rosanna blamed Mike for her father's death and didn't want anything to do with him. He went to a bar and was seduced by Carly Tenney, who became pregnant. Out of spite, Carly told Rosanna about the infidelity on their wedding day. Rosanna left Mike and Carly miscarried the baby.
Mike then met a stock car racer by the name of Pilar. They went to Spain to race cars, and after several years, Mike returned to Oakdale alone. Mike then met Katie Peretti, who was married to Simon. Simon left Katie because he killed a man by the name of Bartleby, and was on the run from the law. After an on again, off again relationship, Mike decided Katie would always love Simon so they separated.
Mike met Jennifer while working with her at BRO. They fell in love .In the meantime, Katie came back to Oakdale. Jennifer felt her relationship with Mike was threatened. She impulsively slept with Craig Montgomery, who was the new manager at Worldwide. She became pregnant and when she told Mike about the incident, he wanted to raise the baby as his own. Mike and Jennifer got married, but he left her soon after because she had conspired to frame Craig for drug possession. She feared he would be in her baby's life and wouldn't be a good father.
Mike returned to Katie, but trouble began several months later. Katie published a book titled "Oakdale Confidential." She wrote about many secrets of Oakdale's citizens. Mike had told her about a woman who had given him some rubies, soon after his release from prison. He had buried them in the basement of Carly's house. When they went to dig them up, they found the skeleton of Maya God, the woman who had given him the rubies. Mike and Katie had just gotten married when the police arrested him for murder. Detective Nick Kasnoff, Mike's cousin, tried to cover evidence to help free Mike. Katie realized he was just covering up the evidence to protect himself. Katie was trying to protect Mike so when she saw the gun on the ground, from the struggle Mike and Nick had, she fired it, killing Nick. At first, Mike found it hard to forgive Katie, but eventually he did.
Later, their marriage fell apart when Katie had a one-night stand with her old flame, Simon Frasier. Mike couldn't stay with Katie any longer, knowing her betrayal. He left as she begged him to come back. A few weeks later, Mike was overcome with Katie's compassion and caring while Tom was in the hospital and they made love. The next day, Katie had false hopes and told Mike about their future, but Mike put a stop to it right then and there.
Mike is a strong caring man who wants nothing more out of life than to be loved by someone as caring. He wants a simple life and won't settle for anything less. Mike is always there to help anyone in need, but he seems to have the worst luck when it comes to his own life.

Friday, January 26 2007: Missing Bonds
Mike reads the letter from Simon. While reading the letter, the phone rings. He lets the machine pick it up. It's Katie wanting to know if he's there, but he just looks at the machine.
Katie arrives home and Mike shows her the letter. "Why didn't you tell me about this?" he asks. She says she's sorry and asks to explain, but he's tired of explanations. She says it's a goodbye letter, and she was saving it to show it to him. He says they have a big problem. "What is it?" "It's that I'm married to you, and I don't even know who you are," he says. He can't believe she wants to save the letter after what Simon has done to everyone! Again, she says she was saving it to show to him. She says she's tired of defending herself. "Great, great, we finally agree on something. We just can't do this anymore," he replies. She says they could burn the letter but it wouldn't be enough. He says he's not trying to say he hasn't made mistakes, but she keeps holding on to this fantasy with Simon as if it's some kind of love story. He goes on to say he wants her to be happy, but with him feeling the way he does she won't be happy with him. "I think what kills me is I end up hurting you more than he does," he finishes.
Back at Katie's, Mike comes downstairs with his bag. "So where you going?" she asks. "I'm just goin," he answers. "Just taking off like you use to, huh?" "Something like that," he replies. "Mike, don't give up on being happy. Don't give up on that just because of us… because of me." "We didn't work out. You're not the only one who made mistakes." "The only one who made mistakes and then publishes them," she laughs. "You blow me away," he laughs, then smiles. She fights back emotions as she kisses him goodbye. "Goodbye," he says softly. He walks out the door. She sits on the couch and cries softly to herself.
