two nights. Brewer said the biggest challenge during filming was the bad weather during the night shoot. The actress admitted that it was "incredibly stressful and exhausting, but the final result was worth it." Kate does not leave with Mark and she struggles with knowing that he is gone for good. In November 2012, it was announced that McGregor would be returning as Mark in May 2013. Executive producer Richard Jasek stated that Mark would return during an eclipse and Kate would be left questioning whether she had really seen him. In April 2013, Brewer revealed that Mark's return scenes had to be filmed within one week because McGregor was only in the country for a brief time. Brewer told a Press Association reporter that Kate would be "torn" when Mark returns. She had believed that he had died while he was in witness protection and Brewer admitted that she was also surprised to learn Mark was coming back. She said "So Kate had cried her eyes out for months, and then I had this meeting and they said 'We're bringing him back.' and I was like 'So that was all for nothing?!'" The actress added that her character would have to make a decision as she had finally moved on with somebody else.

Brewer told Inside Soap Kate is lonely and missing Mark, so she wants to do something to get out of the low place she is in. Kate meets Rhys at Charlie's bar and following a "big night out", she wakes up in his apartment. Of this, Brewer explained "You don't actually see the lead-up – one minute she meets Rhys in a bar, the next minute we see that they've already slept together!" Kate is ashamed of her behavior and the situation is made worse when she is unable to remember Rhys' name. Brewer said Kate feels awkward about the whole thing and starts to freak out as she wonders why she went out and did what she did. When Kate and Rhys meet again, they have different attitudes to their one-night stand. Brewer opined Rhys is a "bit of a player", so it is not a big deal to him, but Kate is uncomfortable and tries to cover her tracks. Inside Soap said viewers would be surprised by the development
