OK, slightly tongue in cheek, but should it? It was never explicitly called "Kathy's theme" was it? Plus she's bloody well back now anyway!

I really like it, it could become the de-facto theme for major character exits, while Julia's theme could continue to serve its original purpose for happy/sad/bittersweet endings where the drums would seem out of place - like "Come on Birdy, let's go home" we had last week.

Well I'd like to hear it again anyway

I kind of like the fact it's only ever been used on that one episode. It makes it a bit more special. They've sort of diluted the arrangement they did for Peggy by using it a couple of times since. No point in doing a special theme to mark a big event if you then wheel it out willy-nilly for other things too.

Also I'm not sure Kathy's Theme would lend well to most exits. It's one that really suited the episode/scenes it was on but would jar in a lot of other cases.

It's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4XX3FPaJH0 if anyone hasn't heard it before. (The bit leading into the credits, someone's edited that so the 1993 theme plays over the credits, originally Kathy's theme led into the normal 1998 music).

I think they should use it when Kathy dies which obviously is many many years away. But i think it would be a nice touch and maybe to have the jazzy theme with it as Kathy's era was at it's peak during the time of the jazzy theme.

Or when she gets bored working on a stall and helping out in the caff, and leaves again on another jet from City Airport
