DS Thea Ramsden<\/a>\u2019s (Chelsea Edge<\/a>) thirst for vengeance against her secret mum Kim Tate<\/a> (Claire King<\/a>) is ever-growing in Emmerdale<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s gotten so intense, even her bestie Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) is starting to worry about her state of mind: \u2018I think she concedes that her friend is on a very slippery slope,\u2019 Chelsea mused.<\/p>\n \u2018I don\u2019t think she\u2019s like this all the time, she\u2019s met the people that she\u2019s had this hatred for this entire life, and now she\u2019s spiralling. Serena\u2019s like \u2018what is happening to my friend? This is not good for her\u2019. <\/p>\n \u2018She\u2019s worried about her wellbeing.\u2019<\/p>\n Kim\u2019s currently trying her hardest to deal with the ongoing saga of baby Tate \u2013 Joe Tate<\/a>\u2019s (Ned Porteous<\/a>) son who he\u2019s desperate to have adopted in after aftermath of Dawn Taylor\u2019s (Olivia Bromley) death<\/a>, having hidden the baby away with Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Turning to her confidant, Lydia Dingle\u00a0(Karen Blick), their conversation around what\u2019ll become of baby Tate is overheard by Thea, who immediately springs into action.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018She thinks that the baby is absolutely being sold,\u2019 Chelsea admits, something that leads her to steal Kim\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n \u2018But she\u2019s a police officer, she knows there has to be evidence, so she is looking for evidence, she also wants to know where the baby might be being taken. <\/p>\n \u2018If it is illegal, she needs to track that because then it doesn\u2019t just become kidnap, it becomes an entirely new set of crimes that she needs to be on top of. She\u2019ll want to find that baby at the end of it.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tAsk Metro<\/p>\n Use AI to go deeper into the stories you care about \u2013 powered by Metro and trusted publications.<\/p>\n Chelsea says that while her character\u2019s history is obviously playing a part, it\u2019s her strong moral compass driving her: \u2018The reason that she became a police officer is that she does care deeply about people. <\/p>\n \t\t \t\t \u2018Her sense of justice has been a bit skewed here because of feelings towards the Tates as a family, but at the end of it, she cares about the baby\u2019s welfare, and making sure that a, he\u2019s safe and b, he\u2019s not being sold into God knows what.<\/p>\n \u2018She\u2019s gone way off the book. She wants justice. She\u2019s massively driven by justice and sees Kim as this person who has gotten away with a lot of crimes her entire life. She thinks this is the moment she can put Kim down.\u2019<\/p>\n Thea momentarily softened toward Kim recently: \u2018You see that thawing and softening from both of them together, Kim is decidedly less frosty towards Thea as well.\u2019 <\/p>\n Thea\u2019s walls immediately shot back up when she heard Kim spewing venom<\/a> in the Woolpack, believing that she was casually dismissing the subject of baby Tate\u2019s adoption.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018Having heard what Kim said in the pub, she\u2019s like \u2018I\u2019ve got this completely wrong. I should have never let her in.\u2019 She feels betrayed, Kim\u2019s a real human being and she\u2019s let her in. <\/p>\n \u2018She\u2019s in a bit of a tricky situation. It\u2019s complicated.\u2019<\/p>\n But what does Thea truly want? To destroy Kim altogether, or to forge a relationship with her mum?<\/p>\n \u2018Deep down, I think she is desperate for a family,\u2019 Chelsea admitted. <\/p>\n \t\t \u2018She\u2019s never had that really, it\u2019s something that she\u2019s really longed for. <\/p>\n \u2018No matter who you are, everyone has that desire to be included in a family unit. She would like a relationship with Kim, but she\u2019s also clouded by a lot of ideas that she already has about her.<\/p>\n Claire King has already teased<\/a> the big reveal coming at Halloween, something Chelsea confirmed: \u2018There\u2019s a real \u2018like mother like daughter\u2019 moment in their fieriness that we experience through Halloween \u2013 which is very fitting! <\/p>\n \u2018It is a big turning point. It all comes to a head.\u2019<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Kim](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/SEI_314987361-08f3.jpg\")
