The newly-married Australian actress, who is best known for her role as Sally Fletcher in Home and Away, now plays a police detective in Channel Nine's Cops LAC.
An industry insider told The Daily Telegraph that the series is almost certain to be axed after only 13 episodes after production on a Christmas DVD of the drama was cancelled last week.
The source said: "There was a team working on [the DVD] but they got the call on Thursday to stop immediately - the project was being canned because the show has been such a dud. It hasn't had the ratings to justify the risk of putting it out there in the market."
Another industry spokesperson added: "Kate was by far the best thing about a bad production and she will survive. It's the producers who should take a good hard look at themselves - the scripts were just something else."
