In the wake of her mother's death, Karen Page became responsible for ensuring that her father, Paxton Page, kept the family diner financially stable. She began dating Todd Neiman, and became overwhelmed by her family. During an argument with Paxton, Karen broke the case which contained the lottery ticket her mother had bought but never scratched. Despite protests from Paxton and Kevin Page, Karen scratched the lottery ticket and discovered it was a losing ticket.
Karen attempted to leave with Neiman, causing Kevin to become upset. Karen and Neiman got high together, and returned to the trailer where Neiman lived, finding it on fire.[1]

Penny's Place temporarily closed as a result of Kevin Page's death. Paxton Page told Karen Page that Todd Neiman was planning on telling the police that Karen was not involved, thinking that their family had been through enough. Karen offered to pay for funeral arrangements for Kevin, but Paxton instead asked her to leave, saying that he did not want them around.[1]. As their relationship was permanently damaged, Karen left home. Years later, Karen called and asked to visit Paxton, who asked her not to come.[2]
