Katie Peretti is a fictional character on the daytime soap opera As the World Turns. She was portrayed by Terri Conn from August 29, 1998 to September 17, 2010. She was also portrayed by Cori Anne Hansen as a child, from 1989 to 1994. Conn, known as Terri Colombino during the majority of her years on the show, is considered to be one of the most popular young heroines to appear on ATWT in its final decade.

Terri Conn joined the cast of the CBS daytime drama ATWT in 1998 but was not the first to appear on the show in the role as Cori Anne Hansen played the part from 1989 to 1994. Conn previously appeared as a model on another CBS soap opera, The Young and the Restless in 1995. The actress' popularity as the young heroine is considered to be one of the last in the final decade of the show. The actress and character's critical acclaim allowed the show to capitalize on the attention with the release of the novel Oakdale Confidential: A Novel, which spanned a series of other books inspired by other CBS and ABC daytime dramas.

At the conclusion of the show in 2010, Conn commented on her favorite storyline which saw her character manage life without her husband, who recently died.

"I definitely felt like the day when Brad died was one [her favorite story] because it was so beautifully written. And that is another thing, too. You have to have the writing and there has to be a great story. The way they wrote it was so beautiful, because he comes back to life for a bit there, and you think he’s going to be all right. And we have this conversation that everything is going to be great, and I go get the baby and while I am gone he dies. He never gets to see the baby. I don’t get to have a goodbye with him, and it’s really something I have not seen done before, and I was so glad about that."

Following the end of the show on September 17, 2010, Conn was cast in the role of ABC's One Life to Live as con-artist Aubrey Wentworth and she remained with the show from November 29, 2010 until December 29, 2011. After departing from her role on OLTL, Conn continued to act and appeared in the role of Kerrie on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock in the episode "The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell" on January 26, 2012.
