Kathleen Nelson

Kathleen "Kath" Nelson was the mother of Amy Nelson and grandmother to Dominic Nelson.

Originally from Trinidad, at some point Kath began living in Sheffield after her husband passed away. By 1993, Kath was joined by her daughter Amy - who had come to the UK following the breakdown of her relationship with a man named Errol after he decided that he didn't want to be a father when she told him she was pregnant.

Kathleen would help look after her grandson while Amy was working, attending university, or going to town. On one such occasion, Kath take care of Dominic while Amy began attending dates with Andy McDonald and as a result Andy had no idea she had a child. When Andy discovered Amy with Kath and Dominic he was shocked and decided that their relationship couldn't continue. However, he later changed his mind and began to bond with Dominic.

In October, Kath and Amy planned to return to Trinidad for a holiday. Andy enlisted Kath's help in order to propose to Amy, by giving her a ring to present her while they were on the plane. Unfortunately, while in Trinidad Amy met up with Errol again and decided to take him back. Kathleen returned to the UK alone and told Andy that Amy wasn't coming back, when Andy continued to pester her - Kath revealed that she had reunited with Errol.
