Katherine "Katie" Sugden (née Addyman, previously Macey) is a fictional character from the British soap opera Emmerdale, played by Sammy Winward. She made her first screen appearance on 18 July 2001 and departed in 2005 when Winward took maternity leave, she returned in 2006. On 28 November 2014, it was announced that Winward had quit the soap and would leave at the end of her contract and Katie was killed on 5 February 2015 by her brother-in-law and ex-lover Robert Sugden (previouslyKarl Davies/nowRyan Hawley) and made her final appearance on 9 February as a corpse.
Katie is first seen when she meets Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) when they are in detention together and soon begin dating. Andy's 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.
In September 2001, 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.
