Tameka Empson is a decent actress given half a chance.
She was very good in more serious scenes tonight. It's just a shame they still use her for a majority of comedy scenes.

I've known this since the start of last year. SOC doesn't seem to be one to bullshit so far so I trust that he'll actually bring the best out in her. During her return in late 2014 and early 2015, Kim had matured a lot as a character and I loved how she dealt with Pearl's premature birth. But sadly DTC made her revert back to the stupidity of the past.
Fingers crossed that we see more of this Kim. Her scenes with Denise were good tonight. Some viewers have a bad impression of Tameka Empson because the writing is terrible for her. It's in sharp contrast to Diane Parish. Obviously she's not strong an actress as Diane, but Denise's character has always been helped with good writing and serious storylines. |

They've given her a really interesting s/l here and I don't think for a minute she's being selfish either.

I thought she was really good tonight
She works better with serious storylines, instead of making her act like a comedian all the time |

She has always been judged harshly on here and, as you say, I think it is down to some posters confusing the writing with the acting. |

I think Vincent & Donna could be axed so Kim could be a single mother down the line. |

I love Kim. Kim and Vincent need to stay on the show. Vincent is a brilliant character he just needs better writing.

I think that Richard is staying. When Ellen's departure was announced, the Digital Spy article made it sound like her family would be sticking around.

Ever since that role EastEnders wanted her in the cast but couldn't ever find the right role for her. It took some light bulb going off in Diederick Santer's head to finally cast her as Kim Fox, the then always talked about but never seen sister of Denise. Bryan Kirkwood almost ruined her though on really silly comedy plots, she was barely around for Newman's era as Tameka fell pregnant and was written out due to a personal medical reason straight away, hence her yearly long absence. DTC bought her back and while he continued the comedy aspect he grounded her a lot. I think Sean O'Conner will keep her on the same path.
Hopefully so |

Of course she is. She's very talented. People just love a bandwagon.

Doesn't matter how good the actress is, Kim is a ridiculous character who should mind her own business.
