I know she's not exactly all that popular around here but l like her a lot.

Yes, she's not the most intersting character around, but she's a 'nice character' and in a seemingly increasingly miserable cast, i think it's increasingly important to have the likes of Katie aorund the place.
She has a smile that can light up any room, and of course she's darn pretty as well.
I love her chemistry with Gennie, and think they should go back to showing more of them together [with Chas as well btw] as they once were doing and have some more of those girlie nights in chatting and drinking.
Also, why do they keep lumping her with guys old enough to be her dad?

Anyway, back to topic.
I appreciate that all the actors have holidays and time off for sickness etc, and also that sometime the characters don't have much of a stroyline for months on end sometimes, but they are still seen around the place.
Katie just seems to come in for a week or two, then go missing for weeks and weeks.
The other week we had Declan, Megan and weasel face all in the show, but again, no sign of the lovely Katie

Any ideas why?

Sorry about the spelling in the title of this thread. I posted it in a rush and didn't check before posting it.

Thanks to 2corney for the heads up about Katie's up coming story.
However, as i said in my OP, it's not her lack of stories i'm miffed about, it's just the way she comes in and out of the show all the time.

When I saw the title, I thought the answer might be 'because she's visiting the 'm' and the 'p', since they've gone as well'.

Op she's not gone for weeks on end she's just so beige she blends in with the paintwork & you just don't notice her.

Glad she's not on the screen atm. Her up herself attitude since she's moved in with Dec is dreadful, had coupling.

I don't think she's up herself at all!
She's having to live in the same house with two people she can't stand and wouldn't trust as far as she could throw them. Just standing up for herself imo.

Anyway, i'd rather watch Katie than miserable, sour faced trouts like Debbie, Rachel, Amy, Rhona, little Gabby, lisa and Zac, Marlon and Ashley.

Come on here to support you! I think Katie is great too for reasons above and can never understand why she's so unpopular Can only assume it dates back to before I started watching - about the time of the cot death s/l?
(Plus we Dixons should stick together)

Really like Katie too and like her and Declan as a couple but I know not many do.

Bit concerned about the mine shaft though ... thought she was going to bop the little rodent (robbie) on head with that ghastly crystal horse. I live in hope.

Butters bread: Yes, Sammy Winward is a single mother, but her child is of school age now. Also, she lives on the same road as her parents, so she's never short of a child minder when she needs one.

Anway, it's good to see a bit of support for the lovely Katie.

Yes she is! She seems like a really nice person. Not full of herself. I don't think the character of Katie stretches her abilities that much, especially now Home Farm has become such a jejune place, but she has a decent budget of history within the show that at least gives her character plenty of story opportunities.

Yes, she does seem like a genuinely nice person and that wonderful smile of hers is never far from her face.

Anyway, Katie's back form her latest holiday; with plenty of her this week.)

I like Katie a lot too, she is a good supporting character. The show likes to push forward the manipulative cheaters and shrews, so we have to endure Chas all the time, but personally I would prefer to see Katie more.
