5.29 (257) | 2002

Danny Rawsthorne's mother and ex-wife of Joe. When Joe's drinking spirals out of control, he fires back at Danny that he is not his real father. Reeling from this revelation, which also could put an end to his International career with the Republic of Ireland, Danny goes to his mom at the family home in Stockport for the truth. Kath explains while Joe was away on the oil rigs she was lonely, and his real father Peter is now dead. She never told Peter about Danny as they were both married, and confirms he definitely wasn't Irish but a Yorkshire man.
