Who did Kim Tate kill in Emmerdale and will she murder again?
KIM Tate will be returning to Emmerdale next month when she shows up during Joe Tate’s masquerade ball.
But who did she kill before, why is she out for revenge and who does she have it in for? - here's the lowdown...
Who is Kim Tate?
Kim Tate – played by actress Claire King - was last seen in Emmerdale in 1999.
Her first appearance in the soap was in 1989 when, along with husband Frank and step-children Chris and Zoe, they bought Home Farm.
She quickly earned a reputation as a ruthless gold digger and super b***h
Sparks are bound to fly when she returns to the soap in October 2018.
Who did Kim Tate kill in Emmerdale?
Kim Tate was responsible for the death of her husband Frank Tate.
While they were married she had two affairs - the first with the Rt Hon. Neil Kincaid and the second with Dave Glover.
Dave was the boyfriend of Kim’s ex daughter-in-law Kathy Tate.
When Kathy's brother Nick found out about the affair, Kim trampled him with her horse.
Frank suffered a heart attack and Kim encouraged him to have sex in the hope that he'd have another one.
Later Kim faked her own death by hiring a lookalike prostitute to drive her car.
She was found dead at the wheel and Frank identified the body.
The real Kim fled to the Caribbean and returned months later giving Frank another heart attack, which finished him off.
In a famous scene, she told him as he died: “You’re a dinosaur Frank and you know what happened to them,” before checking his breathing with a compact mirror.
Chris blamed her for his dad’s death and swore revenge - Kim also tried to kill him with a paperweight but didn't succeed.
