When asked if Kim will become a nicer person, Claire added:"Possibly for one or two minutes maybe! But there is a nicer side because she's feeling so vulnerable and actually this is the start of quite a good friendship with Lydia.
"Lydia has got her own worries and Kim helps with that. They have a respect for each other – they're similar women even though they're poles apart. They're very loyal, family means everything to them and they'll fight tooth and nail for their families.
"I think there's a trust between Kim and Lydia and until either of them breaks it, it's nice to have that genuine friendship like she had with Rhona."
