As Andrea Tate (Anna Nightingale) has made it clear that she is running things at Home Farm right now, she won’t get much opposition from her dangerous mother-in-law Kim – as Claire King has yet to return to the role since the soap started filming again.
Kim was pivotal to the ongoing battle of wills between Andrea and Jamie (Andrew Lincoln) but it will be a while before she returns with a vengeance as Claire has explained that she is still waiting for the green light to come back.

‘Often people, don’t see it as an issue because you aren’t in a wheelchair or limping, but they look after me on the show and give me more indoor scenes during winter.
‘I have to have my buttons done up for me by the costume people now, and I can’t wear killer heels any more! You’ll notice Kim mostly wears riding boots now.’
Kim doesn’t need killer heels to be dangerous – so Andrea should enjoy her mother-in-law’s absence for now.
As we reckon Kim is currently stewing and concocting her revenge as we speak…
