Connie was once Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) girlfriend back in the day when they were kids in Bensonhurst. But as adults their lives changed dramatically and their story is full of twists and turns!
As teens, they dreamed of getting married, but Connie left him and hit the big time as a fashionista, changing her name along the way to Kate Howard.
The character came to Port Charles in 2007 (the role was originally played by Megan Ward, in 2011 Kelly Sullivan took over).
The plot took quite a turn when it was revealed that Kate later remembered that she left Sonny because mobster Joe Scully Jr. (Richard Steinmetz) raped her, she got pregnant, and then abandoned the child.
The trauma led her to reinvent herself and did not realize that her personality split into an alter ego who eventually caused chaos in Port Charles.
