Kate's career
Kate Roberts is a fictional character from the American soap opera 'Days of Our Lives'. The character was first introduced in 1977 as Dr. Kate Winograd, a married anesthesiologist at Salem University Hospital, who has an affair with her married colleague, Dr. Bill Horton. Bill leaves his wife, Laura, and moves in with Kate, but soon realises he still loves his wife and returns to her. Kate, who is pregnant with Bill's child, is brutally beaten by her husband, Curtis Reed, when he finds out about the affair. Curtis fakes their deaths and abandons Kate, who gives birth to their son, Lucas, off-screen.
In 1993, the character is reintroduced as businesswoman Kate Roberts, played by Deborah Adair. Kate arrives in Salem to work for Victor Kiriakis at Titan Publishing. She is a former patient of Marlena Evans and a single mother to her adult son, Lucas Roberts. Kate tries to keep her past hidden, but it is revealed that she has lived in Salem before, where she was married with two children. Kate eventually confesses that she had married an abusive man, Curtis, and had two children with him before turning to Lucas's father, Bill, for comfort. She also admits that her two children with Curtis died in a car accident.
Kate and Victor become close, and she becomes embroiled in a rivalry with Vivian Alamain, who is also pursuing Victor's love. Kate and Victor marry after he proposes and expresses his desire to have children with her. However, Curtis arrives in Salem and starts blackmailing Kate about her past. Kate, Lucas, and Curtis' children, Billie and Austin Reed, all come under suspicion for Curtis' murder, but Billie becomes the prime suspect. During the trial, it is revealed that Billie and Austin are Kate's presumed-dead children. Kate is devastated when Curtis dies during a struggle with Stefano DiMera.
Vivian, determined to break up Kate and Victor, exposes the truth about Kate's affair with Bill and that Lucas is Bill's son. Lucas is outraged that Kate kept this from him, and Victor is upset to learn that their marriage is invalid as Kate was still married to Curtis. Kate promises to give Victor a child so that he will remarry her, but when she has trouble conceiving, they decide to use in vitro fertilisation. Vivian swaps the embryos and has Victor and Kate's child, Philip Kiriakis, in February 1995. Vivian drives a wedge between Kate and Victor and tricks Victor into marrying her. Vivian causes a plane crash that leaves Kate presumed dead in April 1995, but she returns to Salem alive the following year, seeking revenge and custody of her son.
Kate has a bitter rivalry with Sami Brady, who claims her son, Will Horton, is Austin's when he is actually Lucas' child. Sami blackmails Kate by threatening to reveal her past as a prostitute, and Kate frames Sami for murder. However, Sami is freed when Kate arranges for a false confession just as she is about to be sentenced to death.
Kate has a failed relationship with Nicholas Alamain and tries to reconcile with Victor, but this falls apart when she is caught having an affair with mob boss Vincent Moroni. She plots to kill Victor but accidentally kills Vincent's child, causing Vincent to take his own life. Kate sets the Kiriakis mansion on fire, but Victor escapes and does not tell Philip about Kate's murder attempts. Kate begins working at Basic Black and dating Roman Brady. They are stunned to discover that they are the biological parents of twins, Rex and Cassie Brady, conceived through stolen sperm and embryos.
Kate and Roman marry, but Roman is murdered at the wedding reception. Cassie is also found dead, but it is later revealed that the murders were staged as part of an evil scheme by Andre DiMera. Kate helps John Black deal with his drug addiction, and they begin dating. Kate makes multiple attempts to prevent Lucas from marrying Sami, including enlisting the help of EJ DiMera. However, she is crushed when they tie the knot.
In November 2008, Kate is diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and receives a bone marrow transplant from Chloe Lane. Lucas begins a relationship with Chloe, and Kate, upon learning of their affair, poisons Chloe, putting her in a coma. To avoid jail, Kate marries Stefano DiMera, who destroys the evidence against her. Chloe's one-night stand with Philip results in the birth of Kate's grandson, Parker. After Philip and Parker leave town, Kate blames Chloe for their departure and hires a thug to force her into prostitution.
Kate relaunches Countess Wilhelmina Cosmetics under Titan and falls into bed with her ex, Ian McAllister, while working closely with him. Furious, Stefano exposes her affair and takes away her company, giving it to Sami to run. When Stefano is murdered, Kate is a prime suspect, but it is revealed that he is alive and being held captive by Ian. Kate begs for another chance with Stefano, but he ends their relationship.
Kate supports her grandson, Will, when he comes out as gay, and starts a secret relationship with Rafe Hernandez, which she ends due to fears that Stefano might go after him. She then has a string of unsuccessful relationships, including with drug lord Clyde Weston, Deimos Kiriakis, Eduardo Hernandez, and Andre DiMera, whom she marries. Kate runs DiMera Enterprises with Chad DiMera and Andre until Andre betrays them and sells them out to her old rival, Vivian. After Andre's murder, Kate learns that Vivian is framing Sonny Kiriakis for sexual harassment, and during a confrontation, a gun goes off, leaving Vivian dead.
Stefan DiMera plots against Kate to avenge his mother's death, and Kate decides to continue Vivian's scheme against Sonny in the hopes of taking over Titan.
