Kim Barker started out as Frank Tate's secretary. She had an affair with him while his wife Jean was dying of cancer, despite Frank being old enough to be her father. Frank's son Chris was also attracted to Kim although they eventually became bitter enemies. After Jean's death Frank and Kim married and they moved to Home Farm in late 1989. According to Claire King's autobiography Kim was originally going to be married to Chris, but the writers decided that Kim was mostly interested in the Tate money and would have 'cut out the middle man' by marrying Frank.
Kim at first seemed to be a nice person who got on well with her stepdaughter Zoe and even Chris to begin with. She was also good friends with Chris's wife Kathy. This all changed in 1992 when it was discovered that Kim had been having an affair with Neil Kincaid. Frank made the discovery on Christmas Day and threw Kim out of the house. Kim's relationship with Neil didn't last very long afterwards.
After Kim and Frank separated in early 1993, she set up stables under her maiden name of Kim Barker. This however didn't last very long as the stables were destroyed in the plane crash in December the same year killing many of her horses. After the plane crash, Frank and Kim put aside their differences and reunited again and they re-married in December 1994 however Zoe and Chris never trusted her again.
