In a new interview, Tameka Empson has revealed that the baby news came as a big “shock”, but that it could be exactly what her character needs after a difficult few months.
Kim discovered she was pregnant earlier this week, but the news was tinged with sadness because her hubby Vincent Hubbard is missing.
After he mysteriously vanished earlier this year, Kim and their daughter have been living with her sister Denise.
In upcoming scenes, we see Kim become more determined to track down her missing man – and she learns the devastating news that he is presumed dead.

Chatting to Inside Soap, Tameka says the baby could be exactly what Kim needs.
She said: “It’s a shock. This is extra motivation for finding Vincent. Another baby is what they both wanted. She’d like to tell Vincent that their family is expanding.”
Speaking about the possibility of Kim raising the baby alone, Tameka said: “I think it would be the making of her. You’d see the lioness in her.”
She adds: “She’s seen Denise do it, so she thinks she can do it too. I reckon Denise will actually be impressed with how Kim deals with it!
“You won’t see her giving up or needing a man. She’s very resilient and the kind of person who’ll make it work. She’ll be lonely and angry, but she would never show that to her family.”
Scenes to air next week show Kim face the harrowing task of identifying a body that the police believe to be Vincent.
