Kim Tate was not one to be taken lightly. She thrived on the power that money brought her, the extravagances it allowed her to indulge in, and the control it gave her over others. But even she underestimated the true influence of wealth when she tried to bribe Rose Taylor, Will's ex, to leave the village.
Rose had abandoned Will and their daughter Dawn when Dawn was just a child of five. After years of being estranged from her mother, Dawn was not interested in hearing her explanation and told her to leave. Kim, in her typical fashion, attempted to buy Rose off by offering her 2,000 pounds to return to Spain, where she had been living. When Rose initially refused, Kim upped the ante to 3,000 pounds and threw in a threatening reminder of her ability to handle troublesome situations. Rose eventually took the money and left.
But Kim's plan backfired spectacularly. In a twist of fate, Rose ended up at the Woolpack, where she had a few drinks and bonded with Kerry Wyatt. However, her reunion with the village was cut short when Billy arrived and made it clear he was not happy to see her. The already tense situation escalated when Dawn, Kim, and Will showed up.
In front of a full audience, Rose exposed Kim's attempt to pay her off and declared that she was not going anywhere. She even returned the money to Kim. It was a rare moment when Kim lost control of the situation and was made to look like a fool in front of everyone. To make matters worse, Dawn insisted on speaking with Rose alone and began to warm up to the idea of getting to know her mother. She even invited Rose to stay at Home Farm.
As Rose settled in at Home Farm, it was clear she had no intention of leaving anytime soon. She made herself comfortable and even indulged in a drink, pleased to find that it wasn't the cheap stuff. Kim, on the other hand, was not pleased with the new houseguest and made it known that she did not like having "cheap stuff" in her home, possibly hinting at her disdain for Rose.
Kim's plan to rid herself of Rose had failed, and it seemed she was stuck with her for the foreseeable future. This was made even more apparent when Dawn received shocking news about her son's health, which would likely keep her in the village for a while. And any hope of a potential friendship between Kim and Rose was dashed when Rose made a snarky comment about "letting a fox into the hen house." It was clear that these two women were not going to be best friends anytime soon.
As the drama continued to unfold, it was evident that things were only going to get more complicated for Kim and those around her. But for now, the village was buzzing with gossip about the latest turn of events, and the Woolpack was the place to be for all the juicy details.
