Watching her on BB makes me think that EE should cast her as Chrissie Watts sister who buys the nightclub. She could be a cold hearted bitch and it would pave the way for Chrissie's return and revenge on the Mitchells and Sharon!

you basically want her to play Kim Tate in EastEnders under a different name.

Claire would be a brilliant addition to EE but I and others would probably still see her as Kim Tate in ED!

She was great in Bad Girls as Karen Betts but I still see her as Kim.

NO. she is far too classy to be in Eastenders. The only place she should be a b!tch is Home Farm.

While many always remember her as Kim, i will always remember her as Karen. She was fantastic in Bad girls. Especially her scenes with Linda Henry. She wasn't typecast in Bad girls at all either. Quite a shame she hasn't had many high profile roles since.

I would love her to do EE, but not as another bitch character. She could do what Zoe Lucker did and play a total opposite.

Would be brilliant, but she's probably not hunky or young enough for a role on EastEnders these days...

Agreed. I remember her more from Bad Girls as Karen Betts! Series 6 just wasn't the same without Karen or Yvonne!

EastEnders are not superior enough to warrant the great Emmerdale legend that is Claire King.

I disagree. EE are hardly conscious of how attractive they want their cast. That accolade goes to the australian soaps or Hollyoaks.

Yeah, she's better suited to having so little work she's resorted to Celebrity Big Brother.

There's nothing wrong doing celebrity BB, sometimes taking a "step back" isn't a disaster but doing a cha-cha...which she has also done to perfection on SCD.

Well it's true.

If she was so good that she was too good for Eastenders she wouldn't be out of work and having to do reality TV every couple of years.

And that's how it should be! We need more fit, young men.

If I was EP I'd get rid of all the mingers and make the show look like a 30 minute Calvin Klein commercial.

What about Corrie, as possibly the Armstrong mother?

Good point. Didn't Simon Callow say he watches the show too? He'd be a great addition of he ever decided to do it, I believe he's good friends with Ann Mitchell too.

Simon actually said on The One Show he wanted a role in the show.

DTC must be unaware Simon said that. Unless he isn't a fan of his work.

I think DTC would be stupid not to offer him a role if he's interested, he would be great for the show.
