During her time on Coronation Street, Kym garnered a loyal fan base with her portrayal of Michelle Connor.

When I was offered the part I was never gonna turn it down, I love playing the baddie.” She described the character as evil yet funny and camp, showcasing the versatility of her acting skills. Kym expressed gratitude for the diverse opportunities she has had throughout her career, acknowledging the challenges of taking on a role that pushed her out of her comfort zone.
Despite her successful ventures outside of Coronation Street, Kym remains open to the idea of returning to the beloved soap opera. While she admitted that a comeback is not in the immediate plans, she hinted at the possibility of rejoining the cast if the right opportunity arises. The actress emphasized the importance of finding a role that allows her to fully immerse herself and showcase her talents, suggesting that she would be interested in portraying a villain in a drama.
