Emmerdale fans raging over Kim Tate’s ‘soft’ personality transplant

'Classic Kim would've bulldozed the cottage for that backlip'

In Emmerdale last night (Tuesday January 31, 2023), Kim Tate went round to the Dingles’ house and paid Lydia a visit.

She ended up rehiring both Sam and Lydia and giving them a pay rise.

Emmerdale fans have been left pretty irked to notice Kim’s dramatic change in personality.

Emmerdale: Kim rehired Sam and Lydia

Recently, Will accused Sam of stealing his watch.

Kim fired Sam as a result.

Lydia was furious and decided to stand by Sam’s side by quitting her own job.

Later on, Nicky found the watch – Baby Thomas had been playing with it.

Trying to make amends with Lydia, Kim turned up at the Dingles’ house and apologised.

She then gave Sam and Lydia their jobs back.

Lydia made it clear that she could no longer be friends with Kim – she was now only her boss.

She also reiterated her pay rise demand which Kim accepted without a fight.

Lydia was able to get exactly what she wanted from Kim.
