I know this sounds really harsh but Kim looks like an old drag queen. Can’t really say I’m pleased to see her back.

Claire King is 57 years old.

I think the problem is 2-fold. Firstly, Emmerdale have badly managed her image for her return. They should have gone for a far softer 'look' for her, like the one that Claire had in Coronation Street for 3 years. Trying to bring the character back as a sexy and irresistible man-eater, as she was all those years, was a mistake. She's too old for that to work. The result is that she looks as you say.

The second major problem is that last year's storyline, her ordering the execution of Joe Tate, was so awful. It was unrealistic and OTT, almost like a comic book villain. That really spoilt Kim's return for me. How can I now take her seriously??? Kim Tate was quite a villain when she had to be but in the context of long-running, well-planned story lines with characters that she had a history with, like her husband or her step-son. She was not a cold-blooded killer and she had many warm friendships in the village.

For these reasons, the character is destined to fail, unless some urgent remedies are applied, and applied quickly.

Very well described Eddy. If only the PTB had thought of some of these points before they brought her back.

Yes, Nicola really deserved the opportunity of rubbing Megan's face in it. That would have been a great scene.

Didn’t watch second ep - is it worth watching the recorded version or should I just delete?

Delete it.

It didn't really add anything, just plenty more hideous Jacob/Maya nonsense.

Robron weren’t in any scenes with Kim on her last appearance that I can remember. They definetly didn’t appear in the promo video.
