gina riley
kim craig, played by gina riley is kath's lazy, ignorant, rude and shallow twenty-seven-year-old daughter. kim took large advantage of kath growing up, due to the fact that they had no male figure and kath's husband gary poole left them to fend for themselves. kim continues to take advantage of kath as an adult, living in her house, eating her food and messing it up (which kath hates as she is a "neat-freak"). kath often doesn't take kim's life and her several problems seriously, such as her repeated marriage break-ups with brett. kath is exasperated by kim's presence and often nags her to move out and be more responsible. a running gag in the show are unreturned dvds that kath keeps nagging to kim to return (that eventually by the end of the series have run up $90,000 in fines). during the final season, kim got to be such a bother to kath & kel that they try to purchase their next-door neighbour mandy's house, but are unsuccessful when nobody buys their own house. ultimately, kath and kim do have a close relationship, as seen by the end of each episode where they chat and gossip in the back garden.

producers decided to explore kim and lindsey's backstory in 2015. wood-davis first spoke of surprises and insights into kim's past months prior to the scenes being aired. she explained that it would offer viewers with reasons and understanding for kim's behaviour. they introduced a twin sister for kim named kath (mikaela newton). she was revealed to have permanent brain damage and being cared for in a hospital. the scenes focused on kim and lindsey recalling the day kim and kath were playing by a pond, lindsey left them unattended and kim had become distracted. lindsey returned to find kath drowning and her brain starved of oxygen. wood-davis told crawford ("all about soap") that both kim and lindsey were left distraught and guilty because they believed that they abandoned kath. they stopped visiting kath in hospital as frequently. wood-davis added that the butterfield family "sweeps things under the carpet and if something goes wrong just don’t talk about it." as a result, kim and lindsey behaved the same and refuse to tell anyone in the village. she believed their characters "feel like they’re monsters and it’s completely their fault." the events had ruined kim's life and the actress believed it was the reason her character falls in love fast and develops obsessions. kim lost the person she was closest to and obsesses overs others to keep them close. lindsey believes that kath is the cause of kim's problems and wants to stop her from visiting the hospital. she moves kath to another home but kim tracks her down. but kim loses her temper and vandalises kath's room. wood-davis believed her character was consumed with anger about the past and the subsequent state of her life.
