31 year old Kathy Collin’s lived in one of the larger two houses in the close with Maria Welsh her best friend who she grew up with. Kathy had just come out of a divorce from her violent husband Jason Collin’s, who is still in prison for G.B.H to another one of his girlfriend’s he was seeing whilst married to Kathy.

Kathy has only one other friend and neighbours in Thatch Close and that is Janet Bennet the doctor’s wife. Keeping her home in Stapleton is extremely costly and therefore both Kathy and Maria Welsh worked in the city at a shares company ‘Maxwell organisations’. Although she is managing director of the company, her position is very rocky as her shady boss Mr Franklin takes an instant disliking to her. To make matters worse, Kathy is unaware that her evil jealous twin sister Spyrella is out to take Kathy’s identity away for good and leave her with nothing.

Spyrella succeeds in setting Kathy up for fraud of ‘Maxwell Organisation’ having had help from Mr Franklin who wants Kathy out of the way as she knows too much about his affair with secretary Carol West and didn’t want it to become public knowledge.

Maria Welsh soon works them both out and their plans are soon foiled and Kathy is released from prison. Returning home to ‘Stapleton’ she feels she finally wants to move on and start a new life somewhere else, but before the removal van turns up to load all of her belongings. Spyrella creeps into the house and shoots Kathy in the head, killing her instantly, which is played out in Maria's flash back's of her trying to cope with post traumatic stress disorder in the first two episodes which cracks open the lid to 'Thatch Close'.
