So, over the last couple weeks, I have watched all three seasons of Angel on tape (having a friend who's a bigger addict than you are is a good thing!). And I noticed something peculiar.
Kate just disappeared. They never explain it. They never mention it. Angel saves her from her little night of Pills and Boose, then she's just gone.... never to be seen or heard from again.
Where the heck did she go?

Well aren’t you just sneaky with the subtext.

She's the new ADA on Law and Order.

She lost her job as a cop. Given the attentions she undoubtably would receive from the criminal element, she left town in a hurry.

Who notes Hollywierd has a much lower opinion of the LAPD, than they did in the days of Jack Webb and Dragnet (TM). "Just the facts, Ma'am." Of course, the conversion of the police into a bodyguard for the rich and famous, didn't help relations with the entertainment community.

Did they actually say that? or is that speculation? I don't remember.

To the best of my knowledge, they never dealt with what became of Kate. Strangely enough, I can't seem to care.

I don't follow Angel consistently, but I did catch the ep where she was kicked off the force. I'd guess they did this because the actress got a bigger role on another series, and they wanted to keep things vague so she could come back if things didn't work out.
ME seems to be very actor-friendly in some ways. As we've all seen, they don't try to tie down supporting players when they come up for roles on other series or in movies. On the other hand, they don't let actors have much control over their own characters, which is different from the scene on most shows. Might have something to do with Whedon's famous hassle with Donald Sutherland.

Perhaps not so famous. What's the deal w/ Sutherland?

Kate's emotional arc reached closure in "Epiphany," where she forgives Angel and is appears at peace with him, herself, and the world, resolving her obsession with him and the demon world since her father's death. But there was no discussion of her plans for the future (within the show) because Rohm left abruptly to do L&O.
I heard speculation that had Rohm not left, Kate would have gotten the Justine arc. With a few adjustments to "Epiphany," it could have worked beautifully. I would have killed to see that.

I read in an interview a while back where Elisabeth Rohm (Kate) said that she would like to return to Angel as a guest if it was logistically possible.
She's currently in Law & Order, which is filmed on the East Coast.

Wow... that would have been... neat. (My thoughts on this would be more profound, but it's hard to type when you're holding a drool cup in one hand.)
