Katie Sugden
Katie Sugden (also Addyman and Macey) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Emmerdale, played by Sammy Winward. She made her first screen appearance on 18 July 2001 and Winward's casting was announced a week prior. The character was introduced as a love interest for Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) and their relationship was a focus point for most of the character's tenure. Winward took maternity leave in 2005, returning the following year. Katie's later stories include relationships with Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) and Declan Macey (Jason Merrells), the latter whom she marries. Writers placed Katie in danger in 2012 when she is involved in a mineshaft accident. Winward announced her decision to leave the series in November 2014 and Katie was killed-off, making her final appearance on 9 February 2015.
On 10 July 2001, Rick Fulton of the Daily Record reported that Winward had joined the cast as Katie alongside Raine Davison, who played Eve Birch. Fulton said the girls would "set pulses racing among Emmerdale's teenage bratpack." Katie was introduced to the soap as the first love interest for Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher). Winward was fifteen when she joined the cast and she said "It is fantastic to start in Emmerdale with Raine. It is a great coincidence because we trained together at drama school. I can't wait to start." A show spokesperson said there would be some "real eye-opening storylines" for the two girls and the rest of the teenage characters, dubbed the "village bratpack." The spokesperson added "We launched them together because we want to show our viewers that we already have very strong teenage storylines to complement our strong teenage following."
Winward took maternity leave in 2005 after becoming pregnant with her first child. Katie departed in May and returned in the following February.
Katie is first seen when she meets Andy Sugden when they are in detention together at school and soon begin dating. Andy's adoptive brother, Robert (Karl Davies), is jealous and tries to come between them by telling Katie that he cannot afford to take her out for dinner. However, Andy is given counterfeit money by Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and takes Katie for a romantic meal at Chez Marlon restaurant, ruining Robert's plan.
Katie, Andy, Robert, Eve Birch (Raine Davison), Marc Reynolds (Anthony Lewis) and Ollie Reynolds (Vicky Binns) and Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth) go to a nightclub but miss the last bus home. To impress Katie, Andy steals a car for them to drive home in but on the way home, Marc, who is driving, knocks down and kills their headmistress, Jean Strickland (Alex Hall). Terrified of the consequences, they leave the body and burn the car but feeling guilty, they eventually confess. Marc is jailed and Katie and the others receive community service.
Whilst their friends enjoy their youth and freedom, Katie and Andy settle down and decide to prove that they are old enough to have an adult relationship by having a baby, Katie falls pregnant but miscarries before leaving to stay with her mother, Caroline (Daryl Fishwick). She eventually returns and she and Andy reconcile. Andy then proposes to Katie and she accepts. When her father Brian (Martin Reeve), moves away for a new job, Katie chooses to stay with Andy and moves in with the Sugdens. When Andy turns 17, he takes over the tenancy of Butler's Farm and he and Katie move into together but the farm becomes Andy's priority. Katie is also put out when Andy's half-brother Daz Eden (Luke Tittensor) moves in with them and the couple struggle to deal with his delinquent behavior. Andy begins to neglect Katie so she is persuaded to have an affair with Robert. Daz sees Robert and Katie together and tells Andy. Desperate to keep the affair secret, Katie persuades Andy to put Daz back into care but ends the affair and marries Andy. She fights her feelings for Robert and tries to make her marriage work but is jealous when Robert dates her friend Donna, in order to expose her true feelings. The affair starts up again but the couple are caught by Robert and Andy's younger sister, Victoria (Hannah Midgley). Robert convinces Victoria to keep quiet and in frustration, Katie shouts at her, leaving her too scared to speak. Eventually, Katie is fed up with living a lie and plans to leave Andy. He finds her goodbye note and confronts her and she and Robert admit their affair, leaving him heartbroken. Donna is also enraged when she finds out and tries to attack Katie in the pub. Katie moves into a caravan with Robert. When everyone turns against her, Katie leaves for a while and gets engaged to Robert on her return. Katie gets a job working as a personal assistant for the King family. However, unbeknownst to Katie, Robert has an affair with Sadie King (Patsy Kensit). Cain finds out and tells Andy, who tells Katie. When she does not believe him, he attacks Robert and tries to force him to tell the truth but Robert insists that Andy is lying. However, Katie learns the truth when she finds text messages from Sadie on Robert's phone. Heartbroken, Katie ends their relationship and throws a drink over Sadie in the pub. Donna also forgives Katie and they repair their friendship, united by their hatred of Robert. Katie then has a one-night stand with Andy, after discussing their marriage and Andy suggests reconciling but Katie refuses, choosing instead to join her father, and they part on good terms. Katie says goodbye to Donna and Robert begs her to stay but she leaves with Cain's sister Chas (Lucy Pargeter).
Nine months later, Katie and Brian are involved in a car accident and the police inform Andy as he is still her legal next of kin. Brian is killed but Katie survives and she stays with Andy until she recovers. Her mother, Caroline, tries to convince Katie to move to Greece but she decides to give her marriage another go. Angry with Katie about the way she treated Andy in the past, Daz is unhappy with Andy and Katie's reconciliation and tries to convince Andy that she will be unfaithful again, even trying to seduce her himself. Sadly, they are seen by lodger Jo Stiles (Roxanne Pallett), who blackmails Katie and begins an affair with Andy. Katie struggles to cope with looking after Andy's daughter, Sarah, and Katie later thinks she is pregnant but it is a false alarm. Andy eventually tells Katie about his affair with Jo and she throws them out but she has to move out as Andy holds the lease. Katie later sleeps with David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) which ends his relationship with Del Dingle (Hayley Tamaddon). Andy and Katie then divorce.
Katie goes into business with Perdita Hyde-Sinclair (Georgia Slowe) and develops feelings for Perdita's husband, Grayson Sinclair (Christopher Villiers). Grayson's mother, Rosemary King (Linda Thorson), is delighted and encourages Katie, hoping for grandchildren as Perdita can't have children. Katie offers to be a surrogate mother for Perdita but regrets it when she realises how unstable Grayson and Perdita's marriage is. However, Katie gets pregnant but threatens to have an abortion when Perdita leaves Grayson for Sadie's ex-lover and their brother-in-law Matthew (Matt Healy). Katie stays with Grayson and their relationship becomes more intimate. When Perdita finds out, she attacks Katie and fears that she has caused Katie to miscarry and she gets medical help. Perdita then tells Katie that Grayson is bisexual and had had an affair with Paul Lambert (Mathew Bose) causing Katie to doubt her relationship. When Katie learns that Grayson has been supporting Perdita and lying to her, she cons money from him. Katie gives birth to a baby boy in the back of Matthew's car and after signing parental rights over to Perdita, she gives Perdita the money she had conned from Grayson, in order to start a new life in London. Grayson is enraged when he finds out and holds Katie at gunpoint, demanding Katie tell him where Perdita is. Katie refuses to tell him, even when Grayson ends up taking Matthew and his brothers hostage; Grayson ends up shooting Matthew's youngster brother Carl (Tom Lister), but their older brother Jimmy (Nick Miles) helps Matthew overpower Grayson – who is consequently arrested.
