SHE’S HERE TO STAY

Kim Tate may be ludicrously offensive, but the villagers haven’t seen the back of her yet. Claire King – who plays the bitchiest character in soap – says, “She wasn’t going to go away quietly, so I’m pleased to announce Kim will be back. It’s been fun keeping it under wraps, but now, she can really get down to business!” She’ll spend the next six months behind bars, returning to wreak havoc next year. Time to work on some more barbed comments, then.
