Emmerdale icon Claire King has a special honour which viewers will see as part of the soap’s 50th anniversary special episode.
Claire King, 60, and her alter ego Kim Tate, one of Emmerdale’s most famous characters, will be front and centre of the action during the soap’s hour-long special airing on Sunday, October 16 - 50 years to the day since Emmerdale first aired. The action will follow Kim Tate’s wedding to Will Taylor, played by Dean Andrews, with the previously revealed storm set to hit the village.
Claire, a stalwart of Emmerdale history, has spoken of her excitement for the scenes and revealed how she is part of a nod to the soap’s very first episode. Kim will arrive riding a horse to her wedding, making reference to the lady of the manor seen on a horse in Emmerdale’s first episode.
