who played the oldest daughter in the partridge family
Susan Dey Dey was a model before starring as Laurie Partridge in the television series The Partridge Family from 1970 to 1974. She was 17 years old when she won the part and had no previous acting experience. She returned to weekly network television in 1977 as the co-star of the short-lived sitcom Loves Me, Loves Me Not.
Matthew Casey Casey is also burdened by his ex-convict mother Nancy, who shattered the family 15 years earlier after murdering his abusive father. He has a sister, Christie, who he grew distant from over their father's death, but they have since mended their relationship. His family still remains a touchy subject and, according to veterans Mouch and Herrmann, there is an unspoken rule within the firehouse that no one is to mention Casey's family or ask him about them.[7] HIs relationship with Gabriela Dawson is a major storyline throughout the series and they eventually marry in the series' 100th epsisode.
