Kim (played by Claire King) is in prison on ITV soap Emmerdale but is has been announced that she will be back to Home Farm, and it’s to stay.

Producer Jane Hudson said: "Although Kim's initial return was fleeting, she caused such mischief and chaos that we couldn't resist bringing her back."

She added: "Kim Tate is just getting warmed up for an explosive 2019 which will see her hell-bent on getting exactly what, and who, she wants."

So, is love on of the things Kim’s got on her mind?

It transpired that Kim had a secret backstory with Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) and she’d been using him to get to Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).

But on top of that, the pair also share a romantic history.

Graham admitted to Joe that he’d been in love with Kim for years however he didn’t give many details away.

Subsequently, the duo could be on for a torrid love affair when Kim makes her way back if she reciprocates his feelings.

Meanwhile, Kim star Claire said of her return: “You knew she wasn’t going to go away quietly, so I’m pleased to announce Kim will be back.

“It’s been great fun keeping it under wraps, but now she can really get down to business!”

Graham will have his own burden to bear while Kim is away as he reels in the aftermath of Joe’s death.

While Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) punched Joe to the floor and thought he had killed him, that wan’t the whole truth.

Joe’s hand was later seen twitching in the back of Graham’s car as he went about disposing of the body.

But Graham saw Joe’s hand twitch, and set about finishing off the job.

It looked as though Graham got rid of Joe once and for all, however, a body was never seen.

Speaking about Graham’s actions, actor Andrew said: "You'll see Graham coping, or not coping, with things.

“He's coping with the aftermath of what happened with Joe, and it's a question of how he deals with it.”

He continued: “As we saw, there's a lot of tragedy in what transpired.

“It was dysfunctional with Joe, but they were still family and loved each other like father and son."
