Last week, Ramsden reached the conclusion that Kim Tate (Claire King) and Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) were planning to sell Baby Tate. Thea convinced herself that Kim – who is her biological mother – was planning to get rid of the newborn, given that she was also put up for adoption shortly after birth.
