The star has played Kim Tate on and off since 1989, before quitting in 1999 and then making a bombshell comeback in 2018.

Kim quickly re-established herself in the village as owner of Home Farm and has had some hugely dramatic storylines since returning.

And this year will be no different with a massive one kicking off soon.

A source said: “Bosses love Claire and they are delighted that she’s going nowhere.

“Kim Tate is one of the soap all time greats and it’s only right that she has a massive storyline.

“It’s going to delve into who Kim is and where she’s come from and see her rediscover that grit that made her Kim Tate.

“She’s going to stop at nothing to get what she wants – and make a few more enemies in the process as well as potentially changing the village forever.”

Viewers watched today as Kim suffered a blow when she discovered her new man Eddie was in fact the villainous Dr Crowley.

He was blackmailing Joe Tate into stealing Kim’s money for himself – and had planned to dRg her into p2ralysis and take her assets.

However when he tried to put his plan into place, Kim outwitted him and sent him packing – potentially for good.

She told him: “If you even try to mess with us again, they’ll never find your body. Nothing personal, it’s purely business.”
