Cara Castillo is a fictional character from the original ABC and The Online Network soap opera, All My Children. Amanda Hall Rogers portrayed the character for two episodes on June 9 and June 10, 2003, before being written off. The character was reintroduced, portrayed by actress Lindsay Hartley on December 9, 2010, until the series finale on September 23, 2011. In December 2012, it was announced that Hartley would reprise the role for the impending online reboot on April 29, 2013.
Lindsay Hartley is a veteran of daytime having been a cast member of the NBC and DirecTV soap opera Passions for its entire run from 1999 to 2008. Following a short break from the genre, Hartley was cast on NBC's long-running soap Days of Our Lives as former undercover agent Arianna Hernandez from 2009–10 before being let go. However, a month later she began appearing on All My Children as Cara Castillo, a doctor who shared a past with Dr. Jake Martin, (Ricky Paull Goldin). Following her exit from DAYS, Hartley's manager contacted AMC, as well as other soaps based in the Los Angeles area, when the show's executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers and casting director Judy Wilson asked to meet with the actress to cast her in a new role.
In a November 3, 2010 interview with TV Guide reporter Michael Logan, Hartley discussed the development of her character.
