[edit] Fictional character history

Kate was introduced with her son Lucas. She was the whiz kid brought in to head Titan Publishing. A relationship with Victor soon came to be. He asked her to marry him. Lucas pursued the identity of his father, much to her dismay. Laura constantly confronted Kate about her affair with her then husband, and even threatened to tell. Billie was put on trial for Curtis Reed's murder. It was revealed that both Billie and Austin were Kate's long lost children. Lucas became embittered, and Billie hated her mother because she had taken Countess Wilhemina away from her. Austin wasn't so hard on his mother.

Kate was unaware that Austin and Billie were even alive, as her abusive husband Curtis told her that they were dead after she returned to get them.

Kate, to ensure her place in the Kiriakis legacy, wanted to give Victor another son. He was estranged from Bo at the time. Some embryos were formed, and through some shrewd trickery, Vivian had them emplanted in her. She gave birth to Philip, and while pregnant, drove quite the wedge between Kate and Victor, who was supposedly married to Kate. Not to be, because Victor was married to Vivian, who had tricked him. Vivian then sent Kate on a plane and sabotaged it, causing it to crash somewhere over the ocean.

Kate was assumed dead, leaving Victor with a new son and no wife. Kate arrived back about a year later, and Vivian wasn't very happy. She was finally breaking into Victor's heart. Vivian was kicked out of the Kiriakis mansion after her machinations came to light. Kate got involved with Titan again. Soon after, Billie returned from Paris. Franco Kelly came to town also. Victor had a Stoke and was placed in a nursing home. Kate had hired Franco to break up Bo and Hope, so Billie could be happy with Bo. Sami started blackmailing Kate with her past as a prostitute.

Franco was murdered by Lucas and Kate framed Sami. Kate also knew Franco was involved with the mob, and held it over his head. He courted Sami to get a green card, and Kate knew it, but didn't let Franco marry Sami. So right now, Kate is trying to keep her family together without going to jail for conspiracy to murder. Sami was convicted and sentenced to death, Kate said that Roberto confessed to Franco's murder and Sami was freed at the last minute. Kate is now still trying to keep the secret of Franco's murder and battle with Vivian over control of Titan. Kate is also on the brink of an affair with the much younger Nicholas Alamain.

Kate and Nicholas had a torrid affair. Kate's involvment with Nicholas was pure based on lust, and in the beginning, Nicholas was simply helping his Aunt Vivian get Victor back. Kate denied her feelings for Nicholas, encouraging him to take her daughter, Billie out. However, Billie noticed the jealously in her mother's eyes and questioned Kate, encouraging her to go on a date because of Victor's illness. As the months went by, Nicholas began to fall for Kate, even offering to be her lover if they could never be. After numerous close encounters and fantasies, Kate was finally exposed when Nicholas went to Victor and told him he was in love with Kate. Soon after, Victor caught them kissing outside of the Blue Note.

Nicholas left Kate a note saying he was leaving town, and she attempted to get Victor to marry her once again. She blew her chances, though, when she was caught in flagrante delecto with mob boss Vincent Moroni. Kate had sex with Vincent Moroni in Italy, after numerous kisses and a flirtation prior. Her son, Philip, walked in on Kate and Moroni, upset that Kate would hurt his father this way. She conspired with Moroni to kill Victor at the coronation, and her plan set a horrible gun play in motion that killed Vincent's only child, Angela, and prompted Vincent's suicide. Victor realized her plan, and escaped with his life (after faking his death). He revealed himself to her the night she set the house on fire and attempted to murder him with a poker. Luckily, Victor got out, but Lucas wasn't so lucky...he was in the house that night, drunk, and ended up with severe burns.

Victor exposed Kate and kicked her out on her rear, forcing her to find work at a diner. Out of respect for their son, Victor didn't tell Philip that Kate had attempted numerous murders and was the reason that Lucas nearly died. Thanks to Philip's pleas, Victor finally agreed to provide Kate with a small allowance. She got a job at Basic Black, and began dating Roman Brady, terrified that at any moment, her secret could come out and destroy their relationship. Kate became one of the top suspects in Abe's murder because he knew her secret, but Kate finally broke down and confessed to Roman, which ended their relationship. When Lucas overheard Sami and Kate talking about Kate's past and the fact that Lucas's father's identity was unknown, he turned his back on her.

Kate and Roman were able to work their way back to each other because their love was just too strong to deny. Roman asked Kate to marry him, and she happily accepted. They had a beautiful wedding, with all of their friends and family in attendance, but Kate was shattered when, at the wedding reception, she found Roman's dead body. She mourned him deeply, but that didn't stop her from doing her best to destroy her son Lucas' newfound relationship with Roman's daughter Sami, who she swore she would try to get along with. She threw herself into her work (and destroying Sami), and the closer Sami and Lucas got, the more convinced Kate was that her only hope for happiness lay with Philip, and she began 'encouraging' him to spend more time with Belle. When Lucas and Sami got engaged, it took everything Kate had not to lose it.

Kate also moved on in her personal life, becoming engaged to John Black after months of helping him deal with a drug addiction. They turned to each other after John's wife, Marlena was presumed dead along with Roman. But just as the two were planning their lives together, their presumed dead spouses returned to Salem. Roman soon washed his hands of her, and she didn't help her situation by exposing Sami as Stan on her wedding day -- even Lucas turned his back on her. Alone again, Kate invited John Black to move in with her after Marlena kicked him out of the penthouse in favor of her returned-from-the-dead husband Alex North, but her attention was soon snapped up by a different matter -- Kate realized that there was no way Philip could by baby Claire's father and that the father had to be Shawn, and was determined to keep everyone from finding that out.

Currently, Kate is in cahoots with newcomer EJ Wells. Under order's from Kate, he is seducing Sami away from Lucus, a task that has yet to be completed. Kate and EJ's relationship was taken to the next level when they slept together in her office. EJ has been revealed to be not who he claims, and is working alongside Patrick Lockheart in the numerous gloved hand crimes.

Kate and EJ's fling has continued, however, once she found out he was Elvis DiMera, she was not pleased. Since she is financially bound to him via their company Mythic, they have continued to be business partners. Lucus is also part of that company.

At this point, Kate is once again trying to bring Sami down. She is correct in her theory that the night Sami saved Lucus is not what it seems. Sami found EJ, who was in the vicinity of the cabin, and EJ was the one who helped her save Lucus in exchange for getting through the roadblocks. In addition, Sami was blackmailed to have sex with EJ, an unforced rape. Kate hired a fake director, producer and film crew to have Sami re-enact the incident of saving Lucus for a false TV documentary. Whilst filming, Sami, as predicted, was unable to move the beam which was half the size. As Sami was attempting to do this, Kate discovered that Sami was pregnant. Kate then moved the beam using another piece of wood, and it appeared that moving it clearly had to do with angles, method and such. Roman discovered that Kate set Sami up after Kate admitted it to him. Sami is now conspiring to get Kate back, by replacing the fake documentary with a tape of Kate and EJ having sex, from John Black's surveillance in October.
