Kathy, NYPD Blue

Kathy (Lisa Darr)

Kathy was a guest character who appeared in 2 episodes. She was originally introduced as the long term girlfriend of recurring character Abby Sullivan, when Abby invited her cop partner Greg to have dinner with her and Kathy. Abby then told Greg that the reason they invited him for dinner was that they were trying to have a baby and would like for him to be the donor, and Greg agreed.

Abby and Kathy returned for one episode in season 5 “Three Girls and a Baby”, in which Kathy was brutally murdered, and a pregnant Abby shot in the arm. Prior to Kathy’s murder Abby had told Greg about having “ugly” fights with Kathy, throwing doubts on her innocence. However, it turned out the murder was committed by one of Abby’s jealous, vindictive ex-girlfriends, who felt betrayed by Abby having a baby with another woman.
