Emmerdale's Kim Tate to 'kill again' as ITV star makes bombshell claim

Emmerdale star Claire King voiced hopes for her character in the future, revealing she wants Kim Tate to kill again.

Ever since Kim (played by Claire King) discovered that Will (Dean Andrews) cheated on her with Rose (Christine Tremarco), the couple have been plotting against the other to take them down.

Kickstarting with Kim's elaborate blackmail plot, Will is now determined to take his wife for every penny that she has.

Claire, 62, and Will star Dean Andrews, 61, spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk and other press about their current on-screen dynamic, admitting they have enjoyed showing a different side to their characters.

Dean said: "You want ups and downs, it's boring if not so you definitely want that."

Claire added: "But we like it, we enjoy working together. We've got a nice team here at home farm. It's great."

Despite enjoying her partnership with Dean, Claire confessed she is slightly frustrated with how her character has been since returning to the village.

"She's been nice for three years, with the grandkids," Claire said before exclaiming: "I want to kill someone!"

The actress is at the centre of the drama this festive season as she prepares to renew her wedding vows with Will.

Asked how she feels about playing a vital role in the Christmas storyline, Claire joked: "It's great but as soon as you hear you're doing that you go, 'Oh. That means October and November are going to be hell'.

"But we're just about getting towards the end of it now. But it's great. It's obviously good to be involved."

Things take a turn for Kim when she heads out on a Christmas Eve ride and has an accident with her horse.

"Will is wanting it to be very intimate, just the two of them, because he has a surprise lined-up for her with Peter obviously, to surprise and say 'right there you go, I'm taking everything', so he's kind of keeping her on the boil here," Dean explained.

"So Kim is against that, she says 'Ok I will agree to it being intimate, we'll have it in the house but it's got to be with Gabby, Thomas, Dawn, Billy, the kids, and I will agree to that'." But she claims that Will's intentions after her accident are genuine.

She added: "That was the original plan until she has her accident, and then he thinks, 'Actually I don't want to go through with this'."

Realising how much he loves his wife, Will attempts to pull the plug on his Christmas Day plans and hopes to renew his vows for real - but it doesn't go to plan.

Emmerdale fans will then be treated to a flash-forward scene. Viewers will be transported back to Home Farm and as eerie music plays, evidence of a struggle surrounds the toppled Christmas tree.
