Katie and Brooke are Stephen and Beth’s kids. They have a sister and a brother, Donna, and Storm. Katie and Brooke haven’t always been close, as Katie has often blamed Brooke for the end of her marriage to Bill.
Katie always felt insecure growing up and felt she lived under her older sisters’ shadows. Her insecurity followed her into adulthood and worsened when she developed postpartum depression. During this time, she ran away from her marriage and tried to get her husband Bill into a relationship with Brooke.
With Taylor’s help, Katie became better and reunited with Bill. But she didn’t realize that Bill and Brooke fell in love while working together. While Brooke and Bill never did anything about their feelings, Katie couldn’t stop herself from worrying about them. The two eventually had an affair, but Bill broke it off.
However, their affair resulted in a pregnancy, which Taylor revealed at a party, informing Katie of the tryst. Katie had a brief relationship with Ridge, which made Brooke jealous when he proposed. Katie and Ridge broke up. She went back to Bill, but he kept reuniting with Brooke. Their affair led Katie into deep alcoholism. Katie and Bill eventually got divorced.

Her performance as Katie earned her four more Daytime Emmy awards, three consecutive ones in 2011, 2012, and 2013, and another in 2020.
