[edit] Character History
Katherine grew up in Harmony as the younger sister to Rachel Barrett, the true love to Alistair Crane. When Rachel "died", Alistair started to pursue Katherine romantically. However, once Katherine agreed to marry Alistair, she realized later on that Alistair only viewed her as a possession, and he constantly abused her, both physically and sexually. Despite the love Katherine had for her two children, Julian and Sheridan, she knew she had to get away from Alistair, and with the help of Martin Fitzgerald, did so.
Katherine and Martin Fitzgerald ran off to Mexico, had major plastic surgery to alter their appearances, and changed their names to Bob and Ellen Wheeler. There they lived for several years, helping to raise Martin's youngest daughter, Paloma. Eventually, they were reunited with their children, but it wasn't a welcome reunion. Martin had betrayed his wife Pilar and abandoned his family to save Katherine. Pilar truly began to despise Katherine and the two began a feud over the affections of Martin.
Eventually Katherine was blackmailed by Alistair Crane into remaining as his wife or else Alistair would reveal their daughter Sheridan Crane had murdered Katherine's sister Rachel Barrett (who turned up alive later anyways); he later told Sheridan anyways during New Year's Party of 2006. Alistair had no qualms about raping Katherine despite her protests.
