I will make it clear I do not like Kim Fox, as a character nor as an actor.
But is she the only resource the writer's have to use for light relief within a very morbid and depressing set of story lines prevalent at the moment.
The result is merely an oportinity for her to take center stage and "do" her stage show comic character.
Soaps need light and shade, intense emotional storylines relieved with relaxing interludes. EE has lost it's lighter characters who could relieve emotionally charged stories. The result is depressing content throughout the whole episode. Or if we are "Lucky" - Kim waddling her neck and pushing up her hair and bra. The tottering away like Les Dawson in highheals.

I suggest the writers give her a whole episode one week so we can enjoy all the twitches

I like Kim but yeah she does get a bit much sometimes. We've had a slight break from the comedy acting with some of the Vincent and Pearl stories which is good. Sometimes a little of Kim goes a long way.

Kim always makes me smile, I just luv people like her, even if Kim is a bit thick. 😁

Brixton is absolutely full of sassy black women just like Kim, they are loud, brash and comical. I love the character personally she reminds me of so many girls I know.

I love Kim and as said above she does represent a group of sassy out there women in London. Without her the show really would be a wrist slitting fest.

I actually Kim is a mixture of the 2 black ladies from Brixton on Gogglebox! They are utterly hilarious, sometimes completely unintentionally!

I hate her so much, sometimes once in a full moon, she changes how I feel, then she reverts back to annoying bitch mode.

I hate her wobbly body movements as well.
