[edit] Character history
[edit] As Kathy Mershon
Kathy Mershon was the adopted daughter of the late Jim and Linda Mershon, friends of Julia Santos from her time in the Witness Protection Program. Kathy was orphaned when the three of them were in a car accident outside of Pine Valley.
Kathy was taken in by Jamie Martin and Julia Santos, but Jamie has left Pine Valley to work in Tanzania with his Uncle Jake. Up until recently Kathy lived with Julia at Wildwind.
Kathy and Julia Santos have just returned from their visit to see Julia's sister Maria and Maria's children Sam and Maddie in California.Julia was offered the head nurse job at a hospital in Australia and was planning on leaving Pine Valley. But before she could, on May 23, 2008, while at the wedding of Jesse and Angie Hubbard, Robert Gardner (Ray Gardner's brother) busted in to the reception holding Angie at gunpoint. Gardner spotted Aidan Devane gunning for him out of the corner of his eye and fired off a wild shot in Aidan's direction. Gardner missed Aidan, but accidently shot Julia. At the hospital, Joe Martin tells her that the wound lacerated her liver. Together with a steady internal bleed, Julia knew her chances of surviving were slim to none, even with surgery, and so she decided against it. Knowing that Kathy had lost her mother in the same hospital, she would not let Krystal, who traveled with her in the ambulance, get Kathy so she could say goodbye. She asked Krystal to call her sister Maria to come and take Kathy. In the hospital bed, in the presence of Joe and Krystal, Julia tearfully slipped away, speaking of her love for Kathy. On May 27th, 2008 Julia died from her gun shot. Kathy is to go into the custody of her adoptive aunt Maria Santos.
[edit] As Kate Martin
Unbeknownst to everyone, Kathy is the only living biological child of Tad Martin and Dixie Cooney. Tad and Dixie previously had another child who was miscarried years earlier. Kathy/Kate was born in Switzerland and given up for adoption when Dixie was made to believe, by Dr. Gregory Madden, that she would not make it through the car crash. Although Tad and Dixie referred to their daughter as Kate Martin, she was never legally named as such.
Ever sense learn that his child was alive, Tad has been searching for his daughter and he has no idea that Julia Santos has been raising her. Kathy has three biological living half-siblings, half-brothers Adam "JR" Chandler Jr. and James "Jamie" Martin and half-sister Jennifer "Jenny" Martin.
On June 2, 2008 Krystal Carey finds out that Kathy is really Kate Martin. On June 3, 2008 everybody in Tad's family will find out Kate was right in front of them the whole time.
