Emmerdale brings back Kim Tate again next week and there's plenty of unfinished business for her in the village.
Claire King is reprising her role as Kim on a permanent basis, hot on the heels of her chaotic week-long comeback in October last year.
Who should be feeling nervous as Kim saunters back into Home Farm? We're rounding up nine likely possibilities right here.
1. Cain Dingle
Just when we thought Cain's life couldn't get any more stressful, along comes Kim Tate. The village hardman is already in a pretty precarious position, as several characters know he "killed" Joe and it only takes one person to shop him into the police.
Cain has managed to keep Debbie and Graham quiet for now, but he'll have a much harder task on his hands when Kim starts blackmailing him following her return. Rumour has it that she'll even push her luck by trying to force him into sleeping with her…
2. Moira Dingle
…Which brings us on nicely to Cain's wife Moira, who'll also definitely have to watch her back where Kim is concerned. We're not sure what Moira should be worried about most – the possibility of Kim callously sending the police after Cain, or managing to sneakily steal him away from her.
What to Read Next
Maybe it's Kim herself who should be nervous, though. From "Glasgow kisses" to deadly shoves from viaducts, Moira certainly knows how to deal with her enemies.
3. Faith Dingle
When we last saw Kim, she had no idea who was responsible for pushing her from a balcony during her big homecoming party at Home Farm. In next week's episodes, she's finally been brought up to speed, just for some added drama.
Kim warns Faith that she'll get her back for what she did, so Cain and Chas's mum might want to stay safely on the ground floor of any mansions for the foreseeable future, just in case.
4. Megan Macey
Just when Megan is finally making progress with her ice cold boyfriend Graham, another hurdle presents itself. Megan and Graham are currently planning a holiday with Eliza, but their plans are disrupted when Kim calls and demands a lift home from prison. Surely she can afford a cab?
Anyhow, it's not long before Kim is trying to seduce Graham, leaving him with a major decision to make. Does he give into temptation with his old flame, or do the right thing for once by staying loyal to Megan?
5. Eric Pollard
Eric is one of the only characters in the village who was around the last time that Kim was a permanent resident. While everyone else was scratching their heads over the sudden appearance of Kim, nervous Eric wisely warned that she wasn't one to be messed with.
Eric's connection to Faith makes him a likely target of Kim's spite, plus she may see him as a threat since he already knows so much about her. Knowledge is power, after all.
6. Nicola King
Nicola thought she could see a kindred spirit in Kim when they briefly crossed paths last year. This will be revisited in Kim's return episodes, as power-hungry Nicola still likes what she sees.
Nicola is delighted to find herself in Kim's favour following her reappearance, but let's face it, who'd be friends with Kim Tate? Nicola may have just made yet another unholy alliance that's going to end in tears.
7 and 8. Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle
Kim seems willing to give Nicola a chance, despite the fact that she was trying to con her business out of thousands not so long ago. But will she be so forgiving where Robron are concerned, after Robert was also involved in the scam?
It's an Emmerdale law that the popular couple can rarely catch a break. Plus, the temptation to pit Soapland's most-shipped pairing against such a formidable villain may prove impossible for the writers to resist.
9. Debbie Dingle
We could probably safely add all of the Dingles to this list, but we'd be here all day. It's worth noting though that Kim had a particularly spiteful tone where Debbie was concerned last year, not liking the look of Joe's partner and relishing the chance to ruin their wedding day.
Debbie still has Joe on the brain following his death, so if she ever found out that Kim was the real source of his demise, they'd be certain to clash bitterly. Plus, let's not forget that we know Debbie will be leaving for a while this year. Could her exit be connected to Kim?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
