Having dumped plans to go to university,
Grange HIll's champion of fair-mindedness is now working at
the school as deputy manager of the CLC. Bright, intelligent
and popular, Kathy prefers to smart her way out of a situation
rather than go in all guns blazing. Shy and sensitive, Kathy
has a strong will, although she did not enjoy the best of A-level
years after various factors caused her to turn to drink for
a time.
Kathy's roots are in Ireland - her parents came over from
Belfast because of disapproval over their relationship. As
a result, Kathy has the values of loyalty, trustworthiness
and tolerance instilled. All which make her a great friend.
The staff could always rely on Kathy when there was a website
to be run or a commemorative DVD to be filmed. But will others
take advantage of Kathy's ex-pupil status now she's on "the
other side of the fence"?

Year
7 Kathy is sent to Coventry in when she tells
her favourite star of boyband, 19 Down, what she
really thinks about her classmates. She befriends
Martin and realised he is suffering from Asperger's
Syndrome, an autistic condition.
Year 8 Kathy is elected year rep and gets
promoted to school web site editor after Anika's
dismissal. She helps expose Deverill and persuades
Josh to go through with his bar mitzvah after
racist threats.
Year 9 Kathy develops feelings for Martin
but she is crushed to discover he doesn't feel the
same way. On Maddie's advice Kathy steals a kiss,
but that startles him. Martin eventually realises
Kathy is interested him and on sports day surprises
her by saying he wants a kiss.
Year 10 Kathy isn't happy with her uneventful
relationship with Martin. When he publicly gropes
her, she dumps and blanks him. Eventually Kathy
resumes her friendship with Martin and teams up
with Baz to warn Max against exploiting him.
Year 11 Kathy is disappointed when Martin
announces he prefers to stay friends. She then works
with Spencer on the DVD and slowly falls for him;
he is oblivious to her advances at first but they
get together at the end of the school year.
Year 12 Kathy is totally loved up with
Spencer. She thinks an after-school cafe would
be a great enterprise project but is furious when
Maddie hijacks the idea. When the cafe opens,
Kathy despairs when partner Dawn struts around
insisting everything is done her way. Kathy dumps
Spencer after he arrives at the Indonesian reception
in a chicken suit and annoys the guests!
Year 13 Kathy is under immense pressure
to win a place at Oxbridge and takes driving lessons
to aid her application. The death of Baz is the
straw that breaks the camel's back and Kathy returns
from Baz's funeral drunk and full of comatose
confessions. Kathy's 18th birthday party is hijacked
by her parents and alarm bells ring when Donnie
takes her home. Kathy's new-found fondness for
alcohol worries Martin. After going to a party
with Donnie, she wakes up in his bed and wonders
what could have happened. Eventually, Kathy vows
to take control of her own future and surprises
Martin by announcing she'll be joining him at
Leeds University.
