Emmerdale Kim Tate star warns of 'nasty twist' ahead as soap future confirmed
Kim Tate star Claire King is a key part of the Emmerdale cast - and she addressed her own future on the ITV soap amid a dark storyline involving Dr Crowley and Joe Tate Kim Tate star Claire King has revealed more about her soap future on Emmerdale. She has been a long-time character on the soap, involved in many big storylines, including Will's death and Caleb trying to overthrow Home Farm. Most recently, she has been involved in a huge story with Dr Crowley. She had started dating a man called Eddie, before bringing him back to Home Farm to meet Dawn and Joe - with the latter soon realising it was the doctor who she was dating. Now Claire has opened up about her future on the soap. Speaking about her character's empire, she said: "Caleb has always been a threat,t and Kim knows this in the back of her mind. She did let him have a piece of land but she basically calls it a vegetable patch, so she's not too worried as far as the land is concerned! "But if he sides with Moira as a half-Dingle, half-Tate – which he will do, as he'll do anything to go against Kim – then that could be dangerous and there will be gang warfare. Kim also keeps going on about legacy and I keep saying to Laura Shaw, the show's producer: 'Is she dying?' Let's hope not!" With the new romance, Kim has only just lost her husband Will Taylor - played by Dean Andrews. Speaking about her new romance with Eddie, she added: "I don't think Kim was particularly ready to move on – it's only been six months since Will died, but it just so happens that she met this chap at York races. He told her that he was a cosmetic surgeon. "He's very handsome, charming, charismatic and he won't let her pay for anything, which makes a change for Kim! "She's thinking this could be a relationship in the future. They've met up for a coffee a few times, although Kim was worried about telling Dawn about it and that made her doubt herself. The minute Kim finds out, it'll be more than his back he needs to watch out for! I mean that." Claire also warned that there would be a nasty twist ahead. She said: "He's very bad and very nasty and he will go to any lengths to get Kim's money – and he kind of does. But there's always a twist."
