Shortly before her second rape, Kathy learned that Donna Ludlow was in fact the daughter she had given up for adoption many years ago. When the second rape occured, Kathy found herself unable to accept Donna as her child, as Donna's presence only served to remind her of her first rape.

On a more positive note, Wilott-Brown was found guilty of the rape and Kathy would find unexpected support in the form of Pete's first wife Pat Wicks.

After her marriage to Phil ended, Kathy spent the night with his brother Grant, she also had a brief encounter with Rev. Alex Healy. In the end she left the Square to get away from all of them in 1998 to live in Cape Town, South Africa. She returned in September 1999 and had another fling with Grant. She revealed to Phil she had slept with Grant before returning to Africa. This led to a dramatic showdown between the Mitchell brothers while they were doing a robbery when Phil confronted Grant about sleeping with Kathy and this led to Grant's revelation that he only did it in revenge for Phil sleeping with Sharon years earlier. Phil was devastated that he had lost his chance to be with his son Ben and pulled a gunon Grant. Grant was saved by the sound of police sirens and forced Phil to get inside a car and escape.
