Village bitches

Meet the original village bitch: Kim Tate. Queen of the Home Farm estate, Kim ruled with a rod of steel and no one messed with her.

When Kim began a raunchy affair with farmhand Dave Glover, the horses didn't know which way to look.

Kathy's brother Nick found out about the affair and threatened to tell Frank. But Kim told him she would have his daughter taken away from him if he so much as breathed a word.

Frank did eventually find out about Kim and Dave, but she decided to leave her husband anyway. The shock brought on a heart attack, but instead of calling an ambulance, Kim stood by and watched him die. That was the end of an era!

Who can forget nasty Sadie King? Ruled by greed, Sadie refused to allow Charity Dingle to threaten her position in the family by marrying Tom. So, Sadie enlisted Cain Dingle's help in setting her up.

Cain kissed Charity, Sadie took pictures and showed Tom on his wedding day. Wedding over.

Sadie and Cain then concocted a plan to get as much of Tom's money as possible - by kidnapping him. Sadie, determined to get revenge for being thrown out of the family, pretended she had also been kidnapped and Cain even pretended to shoot her so Tom would get his family to pay up.

Chloe was a nice girl to start off with, until she decided she wanted her best friend Chas's boyfriend, Carl King. Chloe sent Chas poison letters, pretending they were from Carl's ex-wife. When Chas and Carl split up, Chloe was there to pick up the pieces.

Chas soon put two and two together and realised Chloe was behind the letters. She made sure her so-called friend got all the humiliation she deserved and was shamed into leaving the village.

Home Farm has housed its fair share of village bitches and Rosemary King certainly fulfilled her part of the bargain.

When daughter-in-law Perdy was unable to give Rosemary a grandchild, she plotted to get rid of her, by making it look like she was going mad. After administering malaria tablets and staging accidents to make Perdy think she was losing her mind, her plan appeared to be working. But then Perdy realised what was going on.

Perdy eventually proved what Rosemary had done and the wicked witch was rejected by everyone including her own son.

With a mother like Val, you can hardly blame Sharon Lambert for turning out the way she did. Brassy and rude, Sharon earned herself a bad reputation faster than Val could pull a pint.

When Sharon's pro footballer fiance Dan realised she was only marrying him for his bank balance, he walked away just before saying 'I do'. It was a lucky escape.

And when Sharon returned to the village - supposedly having turned over a new leaf - she clashed with Nicola and used David to get ahead. But after this lovely scene in the Woolpack, Sharon was soon on her merry way back to where she came from.

So, what can we expect from new village vixen Anna De Souza? Will she make the others look like pussycats?
