The actress took over the role from Deborah Adair and quickly made it her own.
In addition, Kate’s nearly lost her life multiple times (viaSoaps).
She was also diagnosed with lung cancer in 2008.

In 2019, Kate nearly died again when Vivian shot her and buried her in a grave.
Kate’s life was saved by Dr. Rolf (William Utay) in that situation.
However, Kate has prevailed through it all, and Koslow has enjoyed it all.

“Kate is very complex and she has definitely evolved over the years,” Koslow toldSoap Central.
“She is like an Eleanor of Aquitaine character.
She’ll do it all if necessary… She has a fierceness about her.”

So I think that was her darkest time."
“So she really lost Philip for a long time.
And so that probably was the darkest time for her,” the actress explained.
