Katy Fox is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by Hannah Tointon, who was in the serial for just under a year. Katy is the sister of Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), and has been central to several storylines, prominently Clare Devine's (Gemma Bissix) revenge. In July 2016, after Warren returned to the village, he revealed that Katy had died from a drug overdose, and feels immensely guilty as he was in prison at the time of her death. Later, revealed on 1 February 2017 that her nephew Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed) and Bart McQueen (Jonny Clarke) supplied her with the drugs, leading to her death.
Katy was created by Bryan Kirkwood as a sister for existing character Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas). Hannah Tointon was cast in the role, but she quit after one year to try other parts. Of her departure Tointon stated: "It's been brilliant and it's been a really difficult decision to leave. I always said that I'd only do a year and I feel that now is the right time to leave and try something new."
The character was killed off-screen to facilitate a storyline involving Warren which aired in 2016.
Katy was first mentioned by her older brother, Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), whilst having a conversation with Justin Burton (Chris Fountain). He said that she and Louise Summers (Roxanne McKee) were his only weaknesses. Katy made her first appearance on 30 April 2007. Justin took a liking to Katy as soon as she entered the village but soon changed his mind after finding out she was Warren's sister. Katy received £1,000 from brother Warren as a bribe to move back to America, but she refused to leave and took the money anyway. Katy fancied Justin but he told her to stop "hassling him", so she left him alone. However, she wasn't yet aware of why he was so scared of her brother Warren. Katy has begun working for her brother Warren at The Loft, but he got angry when a customer tried it on with her. Warren punched the customer and told him he would 'kill him if he tried it on with his little sister again'.
