Why did Kate Campbell from Holmes on Homes/Holmes Inspection leave?
Tags: Campbell, holmes, HomesHolmes, Inspection, kate, Leave
I read a great article lately that features an interview with Kate. It seems that carpentry and woodwork were a natural calling for her and she has since transferred to shows like Decked Out and Disaster Decks. Whatever show she is on is worth watching if you are a fan of her work and generally watching her good looking self do her thing.

I guess nobody knows but everyone's wondering, judging by the view number.

Did she leave to go work somewhere else? Because of tension in the ranks? Personal reasons ie family, pregnancy? Does anyone know or heard?

No clue. They don't seem to be addressing it on the fan forum either. People have been asking and they haven't responded. That would be the Mike Holmes fan forum, for people who are unaware.

Seems she left on good terms... so that's really all I was concerned with. I'll miss seeing her, I liked her better than Pinky and Sherry both. You actually saw her work and do the same stuff as the guys. And she had a personality which I'm sorry but Sherry just doesn't seem to. And well Pinky, the less said the better.

I agree somewhat. I liked Pinky, she seemed bubbly. I liked Kate too. I agree that Kate seemed to work the hardest of all the women. And Sherry, well, I agree there with you too. Not much personality and who knows what she does to contribute. Well, I did see her dusting one time...
I sort of liked Pinky too. Until NOLA. Then she was just irritating. Sorry.
I didn't see all of the NOLA episodes. I think they all only aired one time in the US. I heard that Pinky left half way through. Was it just too much for her? At least she could have hung around and watched Damon sweat with his shirt off. Duh. Reason enough for me to work under those conditions.
She left aout two weeks. They only showed her complaining about how she missed her friends and family and while I sympathize with that, I find it a little obnoxious to complain when you're told before you leave the conditions you'll be working in, how long you'll be gone etc. etc. If she couldn't hack it, she shouldn't have gone.

Kate left New Orleans for personal family reasons. Pinky left, for good, because she missed her friends and family at home. Later in the New Orleans show Mike also addresses the family issue involving Kate. Her father had a heart attack while the crew was down in NO. It showed a scene where Kate is apparently distressed, maybe even just finding out the news about her father? and Mike telling her she can go home to be with him. It showed her later in those shows so she must have returned? I've read in blogs that her father was okay after the heart attack so she must have come back to the show. As far as Holmes Inspections, I have no idea.

No problem with the Holmes crew. Just time to do something different. New show starting in spring called Decked Out.

Sorry didn't realize it posted that many times.
Kate is still working in the construction and television industry. Just not with Holmes on Homes/Holmes Inspection. She left on good terms from what I know/have heard.
"Decked Out" is a new show coming out on HGTV in April. She's working as a member of the Decked Out crew. As one of her friends, I wish her the best! Can't wait to see the new show.
You're friends with Kate? Cool, get me Damon's number!
Someone posted that Mike jr got her pregnant.. :-( So much for my deams.
don't gross me out.
You are friends with Kate? Cool, get Damon's number for me!
I wouldn't count on that happening.
No kidding. It was a joke. Duh.
You'd be surprised how many people would have been serious about it. Very surprised.
I have his number, i'm taking offers, anyone? ;)
me, me, me!
Meh, I think I will keep it to myself, if too many girls have his # then he won't be available for my booty calls anymore;).
She's on a new show called Decked Out on Canada's HGTV... it premiered last week.
It's also being aired on DIY network and HGTV US sometime this summer!!

Check it out
So far not impressed at all. She should have kept to Holmes Inspection. Would have been better for them and her.
I completely disagree, its a new show, its fresh, its interesting, give it time to work out the kinks. The other show is old and tired and so is the cast. Even though they changed the theme song and added cgi to HI its still the same old "c**p"(to quote the ever eloquent host). She was probably suffocating on the nepotism over there. This is a great opportunity for her to display her skills, she seems like a hard worker and looks great on camera. Way to go Kate, congrats on escaping the other circus!
Can anyone answer a question fron the New Orleans episodes? Was MJ actually sent home because he couldn't hack it? I heard Pinky left during that time but I was wondering why they were all mad that she left but it is OK for MJ to leave and it wasn't a big deal.
MJ actually didn't leave. They just sent him back to the hotel for only a couple of days to relax. He was apparently burnt out. According to rumour both younger kids had to take a small time out because they were having trouble with the intensity just over midway through.
I think the biggest reason they were 'angry' with Pinky was because she was being somewhat less than fun to be around. If what we were shown in the few interviews of her are an indication, she was a real pain in the butt the two weeks she was there.
OK, thanks for clearing that up. I am still wondering though if Mike's kids took less slack just because of who their dad is.
I think its probably a given that Mike's kids can do whatever they want because of who their dad is. It probably makes the working environment really pleasant. Gotta love nepotism;)!
Poor Damon. I guess he gets paid really well or else why put up with that c**p all day long?
No kidding! he probably has zero respect for those kids. It must be challenging to keep his real crew motivated while 2 of mike's kids stand around taking up space, smiling for the cameras and collecting paycheques every two weeks while everyone else works their asses off.
