Tameka Empson as Kim Fox
Kim Fox is to face heartbreak when she goes into premature labour in EastEnders.
The expectant mother is played by Tameka Empson, and recently returned to the soap following her job as an entertainer on a cruise ship with a mystery baby bump.
Speaking to The Daily Star a source revealed: "Kim came back to Walford to be with her family at a time when she needs them the most.
"And that couldn't be more the case when she gives birth before she's supposed to.
"Everyone will have to rally round her and keep their fingers crossed that her baby pulls through."
Her return to Albert Square and the upcoming pregnancy issues are just the beginning of what could be some big storylines for her, her sister Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker), according to executive producer for the soap Dominic Treadwell-Collins.
Hinting that the father of Kim's baby and his own family could arrive in Walford themselves, he said: "That's the start of an exciting story for the Truemans and Foxes.
"Denise, Kim and some new faces... but that's for later!"
