And next week Kim plots to sabotage Dawn’s chances of getting her little boy back as she continues on her mission to destroy her relationship with her son Jamie.
Viewers will see Jamie receive mixed messages from Dawn and confront her.
He’s delighted when she admits she has feelings for him and pulls him in for a kiss as a devastated Gabby watches on.
Later, Gabby confronts Jamie and asks him why he’s pretending to care about her before threatening to tell Kim how he’s treating her.
Gabby realises that Jamie has been trying to keep her on side while persuading her to abort the baby.
Rushing off, Gabby starts to feel dizzy and stumbles, clutching her stomach and passing out.
Later, Dawn is disgusted when Kim tells her Jamie has been manipulating Gabby into having an abortion, but agrees to give him one last chance if he’s honest to her.
Kim watches on and fumes, hatching a plan to break them apart for good.
Later, viewers will see Kim spike Dawn’s drink at the pub, knowing she has a meeting with her social worker about custody of Lucas.
Will Kim’s plan work?
Speaking about her character’s plan to split up Jamie and Dawn – and eventually to take Gabby’s baby away from her – actress Claire King recently revealed to Metro.co.uk: “She knows exactly what she’s doing. She wants to look after Gabby and the baby. She goes through all these emotions and it has to be all sorted with Laurel too as she’s her mum for the moment.
“She wants to support Gabby in doing the right thing – which is whatever Kim wants, basically. She listens to her, she bites her tongue and gives her the chance to move in, decorate, have friends in, buy her whatever she needs.”
Claire continued: “That’s Kim pulling her strings – she is hoping this will get rid of Dawn but they keep getting thwarted. Kim has to push herself to do something not very nice in the future.
“She wants Gabby in with the baby, Dawn out and she now has to start manipulating Jamie into thinking he needs to be with Gabby for the sake of the empire.”
