Casey Kelso

Casey Kelso a.k.a. Casey What's the big deal it's just a misdemeanor Kelso (born August 17, 1957) is a fictional character who appeared on the long-running comedy series "That '70s Show" as the older brother of Michael Kelso. He was played by Luke Wilson.

Fictional character biography

Casey first appeared in the fourth season of the series. Though a little flaky, he quickly wins over the newly single Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) and they start dating, much to the chagrin of Donna's former boyfriend Eric Forman, whom Casey calls 'Foreplay'. Eric openly objects in light of how Kelso's relationship with Jackie was in perpetual Hell, something he didn't want to see Donna fall into. Further motivation is provided when Michael, spurred on by having read 'Cosmopolitan', seriously warns Eric that Casey will just use and abuse Donna.

Charming, athletic and handsome, Donna thought Casey was a real prince charming and the best boyfriend a girl could ask for—she even believed him when he said he loved her. Moments after Casey's decleration, he seretly reveals to Eric that it was all 'just words'.

Break up

Eric tries to warn Donna that this was a mistake, but Donna blithley ignored him. Later when Donna was seen drunk in the middle of a school day with Casey at the Hub, Kitty got together with Donna's dad Bob and Red to put an end to their relationship. When push came to shove, with Eric overseeing the proceedings, Casey quickly gave in and agreed to break up with Donna—rather, dumping her in front of her friends and family. Casey lazily explains to the shocked and confused Donna that their relationship had gotten to be too much of a hassle, and lazily admitted that he really never loved her to begin with.

The shock of her sudden realization of Casey's true nature along with her own poor judgment and over confidence, coupled with being subsequently rejected by Eric, who refused to be her "second choice" left Donna in so much emotional turmoil that she fled to California to crash with her mother. Eric later came to California looking for her and he and Donna reunited as a couple.

Personality

Casey and his brother Michael are in a constant fight. For example, Casey once locked up Michael in a stinky closet full of dead fish to make him cry. Michael, as for him, retaliates by spitting in Casey's socks while he's gone or sleeping naked in his bed after a couple of days without taking a shower.

Casey holds Point Place High's Rushing Record for football. He also is famous for his Trans-Am. When Donna says that she loves the Trans-Am Casey replies "everybody does" referring to other girls.

Return appearances

He reappears in the season 6 episode " My Wife", when he climbs out of the window of Eric and Donna's neighbor after sleeping with a married woman. Later, it is revealed he works at a strip club. This is learned whe Donna and Jackie take Kitty out for Donna's bachelorette party. This same night, he stays at the Formans', pretending to be sleeping in Eric's room while in fact sleeping with Laurie.

He returns in episode 21 of season 7 (2120 So. Michigan Ave). Eric had not graduated high school, technically, because he had never passed gym. He takes a session of summer school gym, unfortunately Casey is the teacher. After multiple confrontations, Casey agrees to pass Eric if Donna will go out with him. Donna does not take this well. In the end, he impresses his girlfriend in front of Casey, and he backs off.
