Emmerdale's Katie gets herself into a steamy situation with David on Sunday... and she doesn't regret it, says actress Sammy Winward. How does Katie end up with Del’s boyfriend David? "She’s at the Kings’ party and flirting with Hari because she wants to get discount on her vet bills. Hari knows what she’s up to and makes a pass at her, but not in a nice way. Katie’s shocked but David steps in and gets her out of it." Is Del at the party with David? "No. David might be Katie’s hero, but it seems that he’s not necessarily Del’s. She doesn’t know he’s gone without her." And Katie ends up going home with him? "She does but it’s only a lift. She’s genuinely shaken by what happened with Hari and David offers to drive her home." And one thing leads to another? "Well they do kiss. When they pull up outside the Woolpack and David goes to give her a goodnight kiss and it gets pretty passionate." So has Katie secretly fancied David? "Not secretly, but she does now! She’d never really spoken to him before the party." Doesn’t Katie feel guilty about coming on to another girl’s guy? "Not really. She’s not particularly close to Del and it is only a kiss. Even so they’re both worried when they hear footsteps and realise someone’s seen them." Who is it? "David leaps out the car but there’s a whole bunch of people coming out the pub and he doesn’t know who it was." Katie find out the next day though. Who was it? "Chas. The day after the kiss, she tells Katie she saw her and David and Katie feels a combination of guilt and fear. She feels bad because Chas is Del’s cousin but she’s also afraid what Chas might do to her!" Does she slap her? "Nearly! But Chas is Katie’s best mate so when she assures her it really was a one-off Chas agrees to keep quiet... providing it doesn’t happen again." Which probably means it will! "I’m not sure Katie would do anything while David’s with Del. But just why he let it happen if he loves Del so much is another thing." Does Katie still have feelings for Andy? "Not of love. She did love him once, but she loved his brother Robert more. Even without Jo’s involvement she and Andy would probably have split sooner or later. She does quite likes the idea of making Andy jealous though!" She’d certainly do that if she got together with David... "Well he’s cute enough and Katie is a free agent now... and of course secrets always come out so the chances of Del finding out are pretty high!"
