Kim & Neil

After her shock revelation that she and sperm donor Neil actually conceived baby Emily the old fashioned way, her and Susie tried to make things work. But in the face of her growing feelings for Neil and Susie’s hostility over Kim’s relationship with Rosie, their relationship broke down and Kim and Neil have been together ever since. Kim hasn’t seen Susie since the split but with Jude being Neil’s son and Rosie living in Susie’s house, she's anxious that she’ll have no choice but to face her sooner or later.

Kim is a natural mother and she fell instantly in love with her baby daughter. She wants to make sure she’s doing everything right for Emily and so she’s feeding her ‘on demand’ and won’t leave her alone with anyone else, even her biological father Neil. But her mission to be the perfect mum is taking its toll on her relationship with Neil. He tries to be supportive, but as she gets more and more lost in a world of nappies, their sex life has plummeted to an all time low.

Neil doesn’t want to upset Kim and finds himself tiptoeing around her and keeping things from her that he knows will hurt her. But he knows he can’t protect her from the truth forever.
