Emmerdale residents better watch out, because Kim Tate is back. And she’s looking to settle a few scores.
Claire King briefly returns as the iconic villain after nearly 20 years away, as part of October’s masquerade ball. The ITV soap has revealed that Kim has “unfinished business in the village”.
“As a Yorkshire lass myself, I’m absolutely thrilled to be back in Yorkshire for a fun-filled cameo, once again reaping havoc in the Dales!” King said.
“As there are still some familiar faces from 20 years ago, it’s felt like coming home and I couldn’t have had a more lovely welcome from such a talented cast and crew, so thank you everyone! It’s literally been a blast!”
Producer Kate Brooks added: “Kim Tate is such a hurricane of a character, notorious for wreaking havoc wherever she goes.
“Kim’s explosive return shakes the very foundations of the village as she swaggers back into Home Farm, leaving a devastating trail of destruction in her wake.
“We are delighted to welcome Claire back to the show, an actor exuding charisma and ebullience. It is testament to Claire’s immense talent that her portrayal of such an iconic soap villain is so convincing. We are all absolutely thrilled that she’s filling Kim Tate’s designer shoes once again.”
Claire featured on Emmerdale between 1989 and 1999. Despite her misdeeds and crimes, the character managed to escape in a helicopter after attempting to kill her stepson Chris Tate.
