EastEnders - Is Kim turning into a bad caricature?
Im not really enjoying the way Kim is being written at all.She seems so OTT and in many ways a repetive one note character who acts and talks in a way nobody really does in real life.
Its not just that Im finding her harder to like ,Im finding herhard to believe in as a character.Not sure if its more bad acting or bad writing or maybe they dont know how to write Kim in an original and interesting way BUT we dont notice it as a problem when shes a more minor less used character Has the attempt to make Kim a bigger character failed? And If so why? |

When she came back she seemed more serious and I started to like her but now she's gone back to being ridiculous. Like you've said who on earth behaves like that in real life? She acts like she's in a sitcom. If we didn't already know her and Denise are sisters I would never have put them together. Denise has a dignity about her and has been through some hard knocks. Kim is either being written really badly or the director is encouraging the actress to play the fool. All in all it's just not working.

She's embarrassing to watch. Cringey behaviour.

She's a joke, ,she can't even talk or walk properly, wobbling around in those short, tight dresses ( which she just doesn't suit!). I fail to see why Vincent is so mad about her.

I don't see the appeal of this character, and I have no idea why she is now being pushed as one of the central characters of the entire show. Denise, a far superior character, is forced to linger in the background while Kim is given a new husband/family, a stake in Sharon's bar, a new house. I just don't get it.

I liked Kim when she returned but now she's been overexposed and has gone rediculous again. I do like her character though and I especially like her with Denise.
The 'pinneaple' comment the other night was funny though. |

She has ALWAYS been a bad caricature so no change there.

Kim is too overexposed at the moment and is about as funny as toothache!

Why she is getting so much screentime when the criminally underused Diane Parish has to play second fiddle as Denise is baffling. |

If anything it should be the other way around, Kim should be second fiddle to Denise!

So annoying. And I wish they hadn't paired the lovely Vincent with her. He would have been so much better as a lone wolf.

I think that TPTB should cut back on the Kim scenes and have more of Cora's homelessness. I really don't care about Kim's marriage to Vincent. They don't click and it's just boring.

I do find some of Kim's scenes cringeworthy, but I think that's the character, Tameka Empson is a wonderful actress though.

I don't mind Kim, but I wish they Denise wasn't playing second fiddle to her.
