Kimberly Diane "Kim" Craig is a fictional character in the Australian sitcom Kath & Kim, portrayed by Gina Riley. Kimberly (referred to as Kim) is a community phone center operator who, despite her "people skills", would rather complain and harass her mother, even after moving back in with her. She also has a "second" best friend who she also gives a hard time, named Sharon Strzelecki.

Family and Friends

Kimberly was raised in Melbourne, and is the daughter of Kath Day-Knight. Kimberly is married to Brett Craig, and they had a child, Epponee Rae. She is estranged from her father, Gary Poole, who barely knows his daughter but was smart enough to play her for a fool. When he came back after learning that he and Kath were still married, he used Kim by telling her that he needed money for a new venture. Believing him, she gave the cash and in the process it would cost her, Brett and Epponee their home. Now she and Brett lives with Kim's mother Kath and goes through many troubles while Kath tries to get them both out of them so her and Kel can be alone.

Age

Kim claims that her age was 25 when the series began, but celebrated her 25th birthday in season 3.

Employment

Kim, like her mother, is currently unemployed but has a hard time trying to search for a job, let alone keep one, which might explain her constant hiring and firings from the phone center. She also believes that Epponnee Rae will be her ticket to a brighter future by grooming (read exploiting) her as a performer, despite the fact that Epponnee Rae is not even 6 months old.

Appearance

While Kath is 'proud of her looks', Kim on the other hand isn't. She constantly eats, worries about her weight, gets very defensive when someone tells her that she needs to lose a few kilos (or tonnes in some cases), wears tight clothing and smokes. She describes herself as a "Hornbag" and likes wearing that title proudly.

Relationships

Sharon Kim describes Sharon as "someone who makes you feel better about yourself... ya know, in comparison" and has stated many times that Sharon is her second best friend, Tina being her first, strangely Tina has never been seen or heard throughout the entire series. After Sharon slept with Brett in the Season 4 finale Lust, Kim told her that she's dropping Sharon to her sixth best friend. Kim is also exceptionally mean to Sharon, often zeroing in on her biggest insecurities such as, her desperation to find a man, her weight and her appearance and then exploiting them. Kim also relies on Sharon a lot, whether it was picking up her dry cleaning to making Sharon do Epponee's homework assignments to prove what a good god mother she is. Despite this, Sharon still considers Kim her best friend and still stays friends with Kim.
