[edit] Character history

Kay was born the middle child of Sam & Grace Bennett in the small New England town of Harmony. Growing up, she was a bit of a tomboy, and had a major crush on Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, one of her closest friends. During the summer of 1999, a teenage Kay's hopes of finally revealing her feelings to Miguel were suddenly dashed by the arrival of Charity Standish ( who is her cousin), a mysterious new girl in town who quickly caught Miguel's eye at the town carnival. And Kay's feelings toward Charity didn't soften when she was discovered that Charity was her cousin, for Grace Bennett & Faith Standish, Charity's mother, were identical twins whom both thought the other had died in a fire years ago.

Throughout the next five years, Kay plotted and schemed her way to be Miguel's one true love, a title that was quickly taken by Charity. Kay, relentless in her pursuit of Miguel, used magic to make Miguel believe she was Charity. By this illusion, Kay was able to trick Miguel into sleeping with her and became pregnant with Miguel's child. Kay went into premature labor and gave birth to a girl named Maria Ivy after Miguel's grandmother and her father's former girlfriend. Maria nearly died in the hospital, but when Death came to take her Charity offered to end her relationship with Miguel if Maria would live. Death accepted the deal. Eventually, a distraught Charity left Harmony. Miguel refusing to accept that their relationship had ended, left Kay alone to raise baby Maria. With Miguel out of Harmony, Kay soon fell in love with the rich Crane heir Fox Crane. The two moved into their neighbor-witch's house and became engaged.

Kay's storyline soon shifted to her struggle to remain faithful to Fox. Ivy Winthrop, Fox's overbearing mother, is able to trick Miguel into returning to Harmony. Ivy, due to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald's supposed betrayal of her favorite son Ethan Winthrop is distrustful of most women who become interested in her sons. Ivy is particularly hostile towards Kay because Kay knows Ivy's darkest secret. Kay, who thought she had overcome her feelings for Miguel, soon realized that her old feelings were resurfacing. However, Kay refused to be with Miguel even after he declared that he had given up on Charity and wanted to be a family with Kay and Maria.

Kay was dealing with her jealousy over Miguel's relationship with Siren, a mermaid-turned-human. However, Endora zapped Siren into a fish tank after Fox complained that she was complicating his relationship with Kay. Despite the chaos regarding Fox and Miguel, Kay married Fox on January 10, 2007.

[edit] Hidden Passions

In the book Hidden Passions, Kay's paternal grandparents were Benjamin Bennett and Margaret Joyce Bennett. Her maternal grandparents were Zachary Sutter and Mercy Standish. She also had at least two more uncles on Sam's side. Information in the book has not been confirmed on-screen and is not considered to be official since the information seen on the show contradicts much of what was said in the book.

[edit] Trivia

  • Kay's father Sam was once engaged to Ivy the mother of Kay's husband Fox.

  • Kay's brother Noah was once involved with Fox's sister Fancy.
  • Kay's uncle Hank once dated Fox's aunt Sheridan.
