In a recent interview, Tom shared insights into some of Katie’s most challenging storylines, revealing how they have shaped the character and her journey.
The Katie/Bill/Brooke Triangle: A Storyline That Broke Hearts
Tom considers the Katie/Bill/Brooke triangle to be one of the most impactful and heartbreaking storylines for Katie. The destruction of the sisters’ relationship was particularly devastating, she reveals, even more painful than the breakup between Katie and Bill.
“I have such a real connection to Katherine [Kelly Lang],” she says. “So it was pleasurably hard. I was grateful for the great material. But it kinda broke my heart a little bit to see the sisters in that situation.”
Tom highlights the emotional complexity of Katie’s relationship with Bill, emphasizing the deep insecurities that she struggles with.
Bill’s choice of Katie over Brooke, a woman she had always felt overshadowed by, made their relationship unique and special. However, their breakup, fueled by Bill’s inability to fully commit and his recurring attraction to Brooke, left Katie feeling deeply insecure and questioning her self-worth.
The Lasting Impact of Bill and Brooke:
“There’s a part of her that will always love Bill,” Tom admits. “He was her first love. He’s the father of her child. And with Will now back in the picture, it has opened up that part of her brain that’s always wondered about what might have been if she and Bill had stayed together.
Katie’s decision to stay away from Bill was driven by self-preservation. She recognized that their relationship, while filled with passion, wasn’t always healthy or beneficial for her. The presence of Will, their son, only adds another layer of complexity to her feelings for Bill, reminding her of the happy moments they shared and fueling a sense of what-if.
