Katie and Andy Sugden in Emmerdale were one of the soap’s most talked-about couples.
Their relationship went from cute teen romance to toxic love triangle, with all sorts of ups and downs – and wedding dramas – in between.
So what was their story? And where is Katie actress Sammy Winward now?
Katie and Andy – teen sweethearts
Andy Sugden and Katie Addyman got together as teenagers, though Andy Sugden’s brother, Robert Sugden, also fancied Katie and wanted to date her.
Their early romance was immediately plunged into drama when the teens, along with their friends went on a night out and missed the bus home.
Andy stole a car, which was driven home by Marc Reynolds. But Marc knocked down and killed the kids’ headteacher Jean Strickland.
Horrified, the youngsters left poor Ms Strickland lying in the road and burned the car. But they later confessed and Marc was sent to prison, while the others got community service.
Did Andy and Katie have a baby?
The young lovers got serious pretty quickly, despite their fathers’ objection. They decided to prove they were ready for love by starting a family.
It wasn’t long before 15-year-old Katie was pregnant.
The couple remained firm when it was suggested she have an abortion, however it wasn’t long before Andy started to have doubts.
As he faced the reality of fatherhood, he decided a termination was the best option. Katie was devastated and left to live with her mum. She miscarried weeks later.
Andy and Katie reunited
The couple got back together when she returned and Andy proposed. But Katie was feeling neglected and began an affair with Andy’s brother, Robert.
When they were caught by Andy’s other brother – the troubled teenager Daz Eden – Katie persuaded Andy to put him back into care.
She and Andy tied the knot, but Katie couldn’t resist Robert and they continued their affair. After being caught again – this time by the Sugden brothers’ little sister, Victoria, Katie and Robert’s affair was revealed.
She and Andy divorced, and Katie moved into a caravan with Robert. But, it wasn’t long before he was cheating on her – this time with Sadie King.

Katie left the village for a while, and when she returned Andy was struggling with being a dad to daughter Sarah.
