ITV Corrie fans wonder where they have seen Toyah's tattooed solicitor Kim before

Corrie fans heaped praise on a new character as she made her arrival in Wednesday's episode (June 15). Toyah was introduced to her solicitor as she is accused of the murder of her husband Imran Habeeb in a horror car crash.

Toyah is desperate to clear her name over the death of Imran, especially after solicitor Imran's colleague and best friend Adam Barlow turned his back on her. But she was far from impressed when Kim Wallis arrived to help her.

She turned her nose up at Kim's arm tattoo but was warned she'd better change her attitude. And viewers flocked to Twitter to say they wanted to see the solicitor made a regular on the famous cobbles.
