Kathryn "Katie" Peretti is played by Terri Colombino in the soap opera As the World Turns. Katie was born to Casey and Lyla Peretti, a singer. Her father died when she was young so she was forced to travel along with her mother due to her line of work. She was educated at Oakdale University for college and here she met and fell in love with Eddie Silva who did not return her feelings. She also had a good friendship with Chris, who was having an affair with Molly, the daughter of Katie's boss. She then became focused on her career at WOAK, a television station. With the help of Henry who was angry at the fact that Molly was chosen as a news anchor, Katie was pushed to get ahead. The pictures that she took of Chris and Molly were uncovered and used by Henry for his personal gains and to put Katie on the top. Molly was fired when these pictures were exposed to the network and Katie replaced her as anchor.
