DR Countdown: Favorite Kate Moments
Topic Started: Dec 2 2013, 12:43 AM (1,039 Views)

February of this year marked Kate Roberts’ 20th anniversary in Salem. When Kate first came to Salem, she was being portrayed by Deborah Adair. She left the role in 1995 when Kate’s plan went down. Lauren Koslow picked up the role 9 months later and has been there ever since! Kate’s been through a lot in these twenty years. She’s gained five additional children, been romantically involved with two of the biggest villains Salem has ever seen, murdered and attempted to murder several times, and now even has a great-grandchild. We asked for your favorite Kate moments, and these are your top ten.

Kate and Sami at The Cheating Heart (2002)
In 2002, Kate and Sami joined forces to break up Victor and Nicole. Their plan was to have Sami dress as a hooker, flirt with guys at The Cheating Heart, and then give them Nicole’s number so Victor would think she was cheating. Somehow, that turned into this.


Kate Fantasizes about Nicholas (2000)
At this point, Kate’s cougar ways have been pretty well established. However, it had to start somewhere! Nicholas was an interesting choice for reasons more than just his age. He is the beloved nephew of one of Kate’s most notorious rivals. This particular pairing didn’t end up really going anywhere, but they had some pretty hot fantasies.


Kate Exposes Sami (1996)
This had been a long time coming. When Sami drugged Austin, both Austin and Kate had different faces! Over a year and half after the crime was committed, Kate (with the help of Jamie) finally exposed Sami. And thus began a series of back and forth blackmails and reveals that would continue on for the next decade.


Kate Sets the Kiriakis Mansion on Fire (2001)
Kate had a plan to have Victor killed at Greta’s coronation. She didn’t succeed, but Victor, who'd figured out her plan, faked his death. Kate, believing he was dead, took control of Titan and the mansion. One night, she came downstairs and found Victor asleep in a chair. So she took the opportunity to get the job done right. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t realize her son was asleep upstairs at the time.



Kate Frames Sami for Franco’s Murder (1998)
As Austin was revealing Franco’s cheating to Sami, Kate was having her own confrontation with Franco regarding his green card. As Kate went to make the important call against Franco, he came up behind her with a fire poker...and then he was shot dead. The shooter was, of course, Lucas. Kate sent Lucas away, and then in a bit of just plain good luck on her part, Sami ran in to confront Franco and promptly fainted when she saw his body. This one moment affected the next few years of story for both Sami and Kate.


Kate Returns From the Dead (1996)
In the spring of 1995, Vivian thought she had succeeded in ridding herself of her rival Kate Roberts. Vivian had sabotaged her plane, and Vivian was left to comfort Victor and care for Philip, the baby she believed to be rightfully hers. A year later, she found out she was wrong. Kate was back, and Kate was pissed.


Kate Fights with Laura (1997)
Kate and Laura had a long standing feud starting with Kate sleeping with Laura’s husband. Unfortunately, a lot of it happened offscreen, but that didn’t make their onscreen fights any less entertaining. Here, they fight about their history and their sons.


Kate and Vivian’s Catfight (1996)
Dealing with Vivian and Kate was just a bit too much for Victor. When Vivian announced that she was suing Victor and Kate for custody of Philip, Victor had a stroke.
Kate wasn’t about to let her get away with it. FF 8 minutes in. At 11 minutes in, their brawl heats up.



Kate Finds Out Austin and Billie are her Children (1994)
When Kate first came to town, she had several secrets. One of them was that she had two children with her abusive husband that had died. She soon found out that they were dead, and she already had a rivalry established with one of them. There are multiple memorable scenes during this story. In the first clip, Kate reacts to the news that Billie and Austin are her children (and Marlena says one the dumbest things ever spoken). In the second clip, Austin convinces her that it’s true.



Roman as Killed at his Wedding to Kate (2003)
In order to prove to Salem that Roman believed Kate was innocent of the Salem Serial Killer murders, Roman and Kate decided to get married. They continued with their plans even after the killer made it clear that Roman would be the next victim if he went through with it. He went through with it.



Because ten clips are just never enough, here are few more that almost made the list.

Runners up
EJ returns from Mexico, and Kate is not happy to see him. (2007)


Kate offers Nicole five million dollars to marry Lucas. (1999)


Lucas disowns Kate for the 358th time. (2007)


Kate’s part in Franco’s murder is revealed to Austin. (2001)



Kate convinces Lucas to sign over custody of Will to Sami. (2001)


Here’s to twenty more years of causing mayhem throughout Salem!

I'm happy to see so many late 90s - early 00s clips, that's when Kate was at her best IMO.
