Claire: Fans will hate me for murder soap plot FAVE’S IN FRAME FOR DALES DEATH

CLAIRE King fears there will be a backlash from Emmerdale fans after her character orders a murder.

She is back as superbitch Kim Tate and this week decides she wants her estranged husband Graham Foster killed.

Though it will not be clear who is responsible for his death.

Viewers will see each episode in the whodunnit saga from a different suspect’s perspective, with Claire’s character kicking things off tomorrow.

She said: “Kim shows her vulnerable side and admits that she is still in love with Graham.

“They’ve been together on and off for 20 years, and she lays her heart on the line and tells him. He leads her to believe that they’re going to get back together.

“When she discovers she’s been played she decides she wants to get rid of him and orders his murder.

“Andrew (Scarborough) has created such a unique character and is so popular with the audience, so I don’t think I’ll be going on social media after tomorrow night’s episode. They’re all going to hate me. All I can say is everyone will be shocked by his death. It’s kind of obvious, but it’s not.

“There are so many people gunning for him. It could even be someone viewers don’t suspect.

“His death also kicks off another big storyline, one that will have an affect on all of those people’s lives.”

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star Sunday, Claire told of her thrill at being back on the show. She said: “I can’t believe how quickly the past year has gone, it’s just flown by.

“It’s been full-on and I have no life. But it’s been brilliant.

“When I was there before we only had three episodes a week so the workload has doubled and it is tough.

“I’ve never worked so hard in my life. But I get to go home every night and it really is the best place to work.

“We are one big team from the cleaning lady through to the cast, make-up, wardrobe, the writers, right up to the producers.”
