A nice comment from Scott Bryce as well.

Kim was pretty much front burner and popular when Patty played the role.

I wonder how she approached it and what the audience reaction was?

Did they perhaps delay some story points until Kathryn returned?

i'd love to see at least a photo of Patty as Kim as I've always known Patty to be blonde.Did she wear a dark wig to play Kim?

i came across it when i searched i don't there's more at least not that i've seen i was curious too

i was privileged (and lucky) to meet her twice — at the paley center event in 2010, and in 1996, when i was on the set covering the 40th anniversary episode. 

we finished the interview. but a bit later, she tracked me down to make sure she had told me about the huge crush she had on don mclaughlin when she join the show, as indeed she had. 

I thought this video I watched today was a good tribute to Kathryn Hays as Kim. I'll probably get around to watching the '97 special episode starring Gillian Spencer at some point. I wish there was a good quality version of that famous scene with JWS where she finds his shrine to her.

 

Not a bad tribute video.

There has got to be a copy of the episode where Kim delivers Christopher at the Stewart cabin somewhere. I didn’t expect there to be so many clips of Kim with Susan and none of her with her children though.

Incredible how startlingly beautiful she was even to the very end. Regal even. Age dulled none of it.

Elsewhere some of us were fondly recalling some of her signature phrases, like "kiddo," "Toots!," and to John Dixon repeatedly in one episode, "Pal, do you remember me?" Then someone thought of a talk show appearance when she warned Maura that she'd better not hurt Scott. Mama Bear! They were engaged at the time.
