KATE ROBERTS'S HISTORY

Kate has had a long and unhappy history in Salem. While married to the abusive Curtis Reed, she turned to Bill Horton for comfort. When Curtis discovered her infidelity, he abducted their children and went on the run, staging a car accident so that she would believe the children were dead. When Kate left town, she had Lucas, telling him that his father, Bill, had died.

She returned to town at the behest of Victor Kiriakis when he hired her to run Titan Publishing. He allowed her and Lucas to live with him and it wasn't long before she was in a relationship with him. Her past soon caught up with her when Jack Devereaux offered her a manuscript which was based on her old diaries. Wishing to keep her affairs a secret, she hid it away, bought The Spectator and fired Jack. Thinking things were behind her, Kate married Victor and her past returned again, this time in the form of her, supposedly dead, husband. Curtis wasted no time blackmailing her, but was soon found dead for real. She could barely breathe a sigh of relief before Billie's trial for the murder, where she was finally forced, by Laura Horton, to admit that she was married to Curtis. Laura went on to reveal that this nullified her marriage to Victor and that her husband, Bill, was actually Lucas' father. This was a blow for all of them, but Kate pursued a relationship with her newfound children, even if Billie was long reluctant.

Victor told Kate that they could only marry now if she would get pregnant. When she found that she couldn't, she visited a fertility clinic. When Vivian discovered this, she visited the same clinic and switched her embryos with Kate's. Now pregnant with her child, she managed to push her way into the Kiriakis mansion. When Victor was reluctant and set her up in a mansion of her own, she burnt it down. Now forced to let her in, she decided to set up Kate and Victor's wedding while she plotted to marry him. Vivian wed Victor in the rehearsal wedding, a fact which Kate discovered. Vivian then managed to go into labor when the real wedding began. In a last attempt to keep Kate from Victor, Vivian tried to drug her coffee but Kate gave it to the pilot of the plane she was boarding. The drugged pilot soon crashed into the ocean.

Although Kate was presumed dead, she managed to be rescued by a Spanish fishing vessel. The sailors kept her captive until she jumped overboard and wound up on a desert island with only one couple on it. On their television, she saw Vivian with Victor and eagerly built a boat to go in search of a way home. She found a man with a small plane and she convinced him to fly her back to Salem where she confronted Victor with the truth about Vivian's deceptions. Vivian was thrown out immediately but began fighting for custody of baby Philip. Upset over Vivian's relentless pursuit of he and his son, Victor had a stroke. While he was in catatonia, Vivian produced documents that showed she was Victor's legal wife and had Kate thrown out. Lucky for Kate, she soon found that, as Philip's mother, she was the rightful owner of 50% of Victor's assets and soon returned.

Things were far from settled for Kate though. She now had to deal with Sami drugging Austin and the endless scheming going on between Lucas and she. As she dug up dirt on Sami, she kept it in a shoe-box in her closet. Unfortunately this made it easy for Sami to find and blackmail her into keeping Carrie and Austin apart. The plan didn't go well for Sami and, as the details of her plot fell apart, she ended up being pinned behind Austin's car in an accident. This left her in a coma from which she awoke with amnesia. During this time, Kate feverishly searched for the blackmail info that Sami had on her, but had no luck. The hidden information was in Sami's doll, where it stayed until she got her memory back and promptly returned to blackmailing Kate for her past as a call girl. As Kate fought with her over the doll, the evidence spilled out. When he attempted to help her, Victor collapsed and Kate had to send him to a nursing home. When Lucas discovered that Sami was blackmailing his mother, he demanded to know her secret. She refused and Kate was then pushed into giving Sami a job at Titan where she continued to manipulate her. With Vivian's help, Sami tricked Kate into signing her project, 'new Faces' on at Titan after she initially refused it. This was only the beginning of Vivian's newest revenge scheme though.

When Stefano inherited 49% of Titan from Kristen, Kate wished to buy him out but he refused. He and Kate had a long history. He had known her since she was a call girl and had helped turn her into a successful businesswoman. Together, they tried to fight off Vivian while she set about dismantling their lives to take the company out from under them.

Soon after, Billie returned to Salem. Wishing her daughter to be happy and knowing that she wanted Bo, Kate hired Franco to break Hope away from Bo. Franco was soon murdered (by Lucas) and Kate used this opportunity to frame Sami for it. As Sami was convicted and sentenced to die, Kate finally claimed that Roberto had confessed to the crime and Sami was freed. Things didn't let up for Kate while Vivian continued to try to bring her down. She began an affair with Nicholas Alamain. After he left her and Salem behind, she attempted to reconcile with Victor but lost him when he caught her and mob boss Vincent Moroni in an intimate encounter. Changing gears, she conspired with Vincent to kill Victor. The plan went wrong and Vincent's daughter, Angela, was killed in the fray leaving a crushed Vincent to suicide. In the melee, Victor escaped by faking his death only to reappear when she set the house on fire. While she tried to kill him, he escaped but Lucas was left in the fire, surviving with severe burns. Exposing all of her secrets, Victor forced Kate out of his life and she had to find work in a diner.

Thanks entirely to Philip, Victor finally agreed to pay Kate a small allowance. She got a new job and began dating Roman Brady. This was doomed when her secrets were finally revealed and she was left as one of the suspects in Abe's murder. Her past, and Lucas' paternity would also serve to alienate her from her son. Despite all of this, Roman found his way back to her and asked her to marry him. During the wedding, things hit a snag when she discovered Roman's corpse. The grief would find its way into her encouragement of Philip and her vitriolic hate of Sami who continued to pursue Lucas.

Moving on, she became involved with John Black. After months of helping him through his drug addiction, they fell in love and became engaged. To their shock, both of their supposedly dead spouses returned to Salem. Since they found that they could not go back to their former lovers, she and John stayed together. Soon, she had another problem though. She discovered that Philip could not be the father of Claire and so set about hiding this from everyone. While this proved to be impossible, she still did her best to break up Lucas and Sami. Becoming lovers and business partners with EJ Wells went a long way in this direction. She convinced him to seduce Sami, which he agreed to, though for reasons having to do with his DiMera roots and not with her. After Sami's miraculous saving of Lucas, Kate set out to discredit her by setting up a documentary re-enactment of the night of the incident. Sami couldn't do it, but things didn't go well for Kate. Though she discovered that Sami was pregnant, Sami discovered the ruse and vowed revenge. At the premiere of the documentary, Sami used a video of EJ and Kate having sex to publicly humiliate her. Although she and EJ managed to turn it around, it still notched up the vendetta.
