The brunette - who is also a children's book author - is known for playing Sally Fletcher on the long-running soap, Home and Away.
She played Sally from 1988 until 2008, and just last week recalled her final days on set.
Speaking on her Nova radio show, the actress said she was shocked at being replaced so quickly after two decades on the soap.
'I swear to God, I had not even finished filming my final scene and I go into the green room between scenes… and someone had pulled my name off [the Pigeon Hole],' she said.
Kate revealed that she was distressed to learn that somebody had peeled her name off and put their name on it.
Her radio co-host Marty Sheargold joked: 'Well that's the business isn't it! Twenty years means nothing when there's a good pigeon hole to be grabbed!'
