Emmerdale ‘confirms’ who exposes Thea and Serena at last

DS Thea Ramsden (Chelsea Edge) arrived in Emmerdale with one goal – destroy Kim Tate (Claire King).

Viewers of the ITV soap spent weeks speculating just why Thea wanted to get revenge on Kim, and what connection they shared.

It was eventually revealed that Thea is Kim’s secret daughter, having been put up for adoption shortly after birth. Thea managed to track Kim’s location but, before she actually got to the village herself, she asked her friend Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) to do something first.

Thea instructed Serena to break into Home Farm to find something on Kim that would ultimately allow the copper to be successful in her plan. Serena snuck into the big house a number of times, but didn’t find anything.

While waiting for the right moment to strike and destroy Kim, Thea has been investigating Doctor Caitlin Todd’s (Caroline Harker) death, and also the crash that killed Jimmy King (Nick Miles) and Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley).

Next week, Thea turns her focus back to Kim as she finds her at Will’s graveside. They chat, and Thea cannot help but feel that her long-held opinion of Kim might be changing.

‘I think Kim’s sad’, star Claire King said, discussing these scenes.

‘She’s talking to Will and saying how much she loved Dawn and she couldn’t protect her and she was so sad about it. She felt guilty that this had come to pass, and she couldn’t do anything about her death.

‘Then Thea arrives and she’s vocalising this to Thea, and Thea then thinks ‘Oh. She has actually got a soft side. Maybe she is not the monster I thought she was.’ Because she has come back to get her believing that she has been this monster, this evil woman for twenty seven years. So she softens a bit.’

Thea later tells Serena about seeing Kim’s vulnerable side, and how she’s wondering if she’s got her wrong.

Pondering over whether or not to reveal her identity to Kim, Thea’s mind changes when Kim loses it after Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) walks into the pub, and Thea overhears what she believes is a callous attitude towards baby Tate’s situation.

Thea throws away any sympathy and once again is determined to get revenge.

Later in the week, Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) is walking through the street and spots Serena speaking to Thea.

Suspicious, what will Sarah do about this discovery?

Revealing how Kim will react when she inevitably learns that Thea is her daughter, Claire told us: ‘Kim will be over the moon that Thea tracked her down but she will be very, very shocked to realise that it’s someone that she’s actually been around for a few weeks.’

‘It will be a really joyful moment for her and she is going to have to work really, really hard to win Thea’s trust and make her even talk to her basically.’
