Katie Fitch

Katherine "Katie" Fitch is a fictional character in the television series Skins, played by Megan "Meg" Prescott.

Who knows what tomorrow could bring?Considered by many to be shallow, self-centred, and somewhat ruthless—especially towards Naomi Campbell, JJ Jones, Effy Stonem, and her sister Emily—Katie is isolated from the gang for much of her first year at Roundview College, for which she is mainly on a quest for popularity during series three.

This event would prove to be a life altering experience for Katie, whose sensitive, highly insecure nature, and fear of being alone is revealed.

She decides to get a responsible boyfriend and direct her energy into her mother's wedding planning business "Let's Get Fitched", though upon learning that she is infertile, she begins to question the future she'd always imagined for herself as well as her own identity.

However, after coming to an understanding with her parents and reconciling with Emily (while tolerating Naomi), and gaining friendships with Thomas, Pandora, Effy and Freddie, Katie becomes fully integrated into the gang and more openly expresses a caring side.

Katie has also kept her outspoken personality, most vocally standing up for Kanye West in the aftermath of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Later, during Pandora's birthday party, Katie sees Naomi and Emily kissing in a jump house, and is shaken.

It's then she meets Katie again; what happens next is never really clarified as Effy is tripping and the scene is told from her point of view.

Claiming that she couldn't take him if she tried, she tackles Effy to the floor and starts rubbing her face in the mud before flipping her over, strangling and slapping her.

This causes Effy to freak out and grab the closest thing she could find, a rock, into Katie's head, knocking her unconscious.

Effy returns to the camp and has sex with Freddie, but the next morning when people question Katie's whereabouts she says nothing, ashamed and unsure of what to do.

Eventually Effy calls an unknown person (presumably the police or an ambulance) and requests they come and get Katie.

Katie's injuries (9 stitches in her head as well as various bruises) make her too embarrassed to leave the house, so Emily disguises herself as her sister and sits for her exam.

Katie is seen at a huge party at the club that Thomas works, she is present when the girl Sophia kills herself after taking MDMA.

Later, Emily, unable to understand why their mother can't accept her homosexuality and her relationship with Naomi, decides to move out leaving Katie heartbroken.

Before she's given the chance to talk about her problem, her mum makes a discovery whilst on the phone to the bank - the Fitch family are broke and have lost everything.

This seems to break Emily as she starts crying before confronting both her mother and Katie, the later slapping her before walking off.

They stop kissing, and Katie asks him if he thinks she is a bitch, because she feels like many people see her that way.

This event causes Katie to feel better about herself, and she decides to help reunite Thomas and Pandora to make him happy too.

Later, Katie is dancing in the Judgment Day Parade, and sees a freaked out Effy (who is falling deeper into her psychotic depression) and pulls her out from the crowd.

As Freddie is talking to his grandad, Katie bursts into the room and scaredly tells him that Effy won't come out of the toilet.

Katie then seems to spend the majority of her time at the psychiatric hospital Effy is being kept in following her suicide attempt.
