EastEnders reveals Kim Fox's Christmas exit plan

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders has revealed Kim Fox's exit plan from Walford, which will air this Christmas.

Kim (Tameka Empson) will find out about Denise's (Diane Parish) betrayal when she negotiated a financial deal with Phil Mitchell so she would keep quiet over Vincent Hubbard's death. Though Denise did so because she was desperate for the money, the truth will devastate Kim, who has been grieving Vincent's disappearance.

Kim finally finds out what happened to Vincent and that Phil had a hand to play in his death alongside Howie. After telling Phil that she knows what happened to Vincent, she decides that she wants Phil to pay for his involvement. When Kim confronts Denise, her sister admits everything but tries to justify her actions. But, it doesn't seem like Kim will be able to forgive and forget.

At Christmas, Chelsea appeals to Kim to put the issues with Denise behind her and though Kim considers it, she is secretly making plans to leave Walford.

Denise, who is getting married at Christmas, wants Kim to be there for her wedding after Kim puts on a brave face by hosting Denise's hen party. Though Kim wants to forgive her sister, she later tells her kids that they will be going to Scotland, where Kim will start a new job.
