Kavanaugh played Cathy longer than any other actress in the role, from
October 1972 until June 1976, until she was fired by executive
producer Doris Quinlan. In late 1975, actress Robin Strasser was
offered a long-term contract with the series to take up the role but
declined upon the knowledge that Kavanaugh would be fired to
accommodate the recast. Strasser would later go on to be the permanent
replacement of Claire Mallis following a brief recast in the role of
Dr. Dorian Lord.Cathy is initially introduced as the unseen child
daughter of Llanview Hospital chief-of-staff Dr. Jim Craig
(originally, Robert Milli) in 1968. When the character debuts
on-screen in January 1969, she is aged to a seventeen-year-old
teenager. Harboring an Electra complex toward her father, Cathy
(Burns) grew increasingly jealous of the time her prospective
stepmother Anna Wolek (Doris Belack) was spending with her father.
Cathy (Levitt) rebelled against Jim (now, Nat Polen onward) and Anna
by using drugs, eventually becoming an addict and killing her dealer
Artie Duncan (John Cullum) in an LSD-fueled maniacal episode. Cathy
seeks treatment for her addiction at the culturally relevant Odyssey
