SOD: Kate's diagnosis - cancer
Daniel takes a look at Kate's chest x-ray this week and delivers some bad news - he thinks she has lung cancer. "I saw scripts and I'm coughing and I'm thinking, 'What's going on there?'" says Lauren Koslow (Kate). "I didn't know anything about it whatsoever and I don't read ahead in the storylines, so I'm in the dark as much as everyone else. Lauren is finding out along with Kate, which makes it very interesting."
Kate's reaction? "She's a pretty tough customer and that's her initial way of dealing with it," previews Koslow. "'What ever it is, I need to get back to work.' And that's what she does. When it just has to do with her, she doesn't deal well. She's definitely a survivor; she's tenacious in everything that she does, but this is quite possibly a very, very serious illness and it just turns your life upside down and she may have to confront things in her life she hasn't confronted before."
Will Daniel be by her side? "There's a possibility. She's trying to distance herself from him and here we go with this episode that's going to get her even more deeply involved."
This could be a great story line if they write it correctly both for Daniel and Kate. Kate because she is dealing with such a traumatic illness. She will have to face fears and she has always been such a strong person so independent never needing anything. For Daniel it could be a good storyline since he already had a relationship with someone that died from an illness it could deal with him and his feeling about getting close to Kate. Who knows..it could be good if they write right...
