The youngest Logan sister

Katie is the youngest child of Stephen (Patrick Duffy) and Beth Logan (Robin Riker). She has three siblings: Storm (William deVry), Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Donna (Jennifer Gareis).

In her teenage years, Katie suffered from terrible acne - and as a result, very low self-esteem - as a teenager. Mainly from living in the shadow of Brooke and Donna, this has also made Katie somewhat jealous. Feeling sorry for her, Donna (played at the time by Carrie Mitchum) convinced her friend Rocco Carner (Bryan Genesse) to go on a date with her. Katie began to develop feelings for Rocco, and was devastated when she caught him kissing Donna.

However, Katie and Rocco continued to date, and when Katie found an engagement ring in Rocco's pocket one day, she was ecstatic to think it was for her. She was devastated to find out that he had actually bought the ring for Donna, so she began to take an interest in her classmate Kurt.

Much to Brooke and Storm's (played at the time by Ethan Wayne) disappointment, Katie and Donna managed to track down and reunite with their long-absent father, Stephen (played at the time by Robert Pine). He and Beth reunited and moved to Paris.

Katie faded into the background, and occasionally returned to babysit Brooke's children and for family events.

In August 2007, Katie returned to Los Angeles to attend Donna's upcoming wedding to Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon). Katie became suspicious about Donna's motives for marrying Thorne, given that Donna despises Thorne's mother Stephanie (Susan Flannery), and would do anything to get revenge on her mother-in-law to be.

On the day of the wedding, Katie overheard Donna confiding to her friend Jackie (Lesley-Anne Down) that she was not really in love with Thorne. Katie informed Thorne of this and he called off the wedding. Donna disowned Katie for her betrayal, while Katie appears to have struck up a friendship with a grateful Stephanie. According to Stephanie, she is "The only decent Logan on the family tree."

Having lived in the shadow of her older sisters for many years, has made Katie more the voice of reason towards her sisters, Donna in particular. Recently Katie became a member of the Forrester Creations team by working in their Public Relations department, having had PR experience whilst away from Los Angeles. Recently, Katie and Jake Maclaine had discovered videotaped evidence that might show that her father, Stephen, may have shot Stephanie at the Forrester fashion show. This situation has strained relations between her and her father. However, she and Brooke later discovered that it wasn't Stephen, but their brother, Storm, who had shot Stephanie. Despite the shocking revelation, Stephen insisted on taking the blame for Storm, to alleviate all the stress he seemed to have bottled up. Katie was stunned, but still offered her support to Storm. When Stephanie planned to tell the police about Storm shooting her, it was Katie who eventually persuaded Mrs. Forrester to not do so; which she didn't, and Storm was eventually cleared of the charges.

Katie then saw that Brooke was on the verge of ruining her engagement to Ridge when Brooke discovered that she was the biological mother of Nick and Taylor's baby Jack. Katie wanted Brooke to finally commit to a life with Ridge so she convinced Brooke's daughter Bridget to rekindle her relationship with Nick. However, while babysitting baby Jack, Katie found herself attracted to Nick. Once she told Bridget, she accused it of being a harmless crush and let it go. Recently, whilst struggling with a gun that her brother Storm had, the gun went off, injuring Katie. Katie was originally on a heart and lung machine, until Storm intentionally committed suicide, so he could let Katie have his heart. After defibrulation, Katie's donated heart started beating, and now, she is alive once more, thanks to her brother's heart.

However, Katie's body began rejecting the heart not long after; her prognosis looked rather grim. She began taking anti-rejection medicine; but despite that, she realized that death for her would be inevitable. Her family helped to set up a lovely prom night for her, (her dress was a Forrester Original which had been brought over by Eric's friend, and Nick's mother, Jackie) wherein Nick and Katie had a nice time. Stephanie also sat up with Katie, helping her through her situation, because she had always gotten on well with her. Despite all the best medical help, Katie's condition continued to deteriorate. Until Katie's niece, Bridget, discovered a cool gene therapy, which had been done in Stockholm that could perhaps help. With the aide of her doctor, Bridget put the therapy to work, and was pleased that it was successful. The therapy broke her fever, and although it still meant Katie had to take her anti-rejection medication, the crisis had seemed to pass.

Katie continues to have feelings for Nick, but stood aside so that Bridget and Nick could wed. She officiated at their wedding on July 14th.

On Friday, August 1st, during a routinely check-up, Katie learns that she is pregnant. She and Nick have decided to keep their baby.

In September, Nick told Bridget of Katie's pregnancy. Bridget immediately left Nick and their marriage telling her husband and aunt that she is "finally free of both of you."
