Kim met Danny Sullivan when he was in the Watford first team in the late 90's. They married a short time before Danny transferred to Harchester United in 2000. By 2004 Kim was taking a more active role in life around the club, and becoming more prominent amongst the Harchester 'WAG's, attending every social event she could. It was during this time that she and Danny learnt they were expecting twins, and Kim gave birth to a boy and girl mid-way through the season, which she and Danny named Jack and Erica.

Kim often brought the twins to Harchester's home games, and during a match against Nottingham Forrest when they are three months old, she gets into difficulty when having to change Erica and leaves Jack just outside the toilet door. An emotional Jodie Stone, having recently miscarried, comes across Jack on his own and, without thinking, wanders away with him and takes him home with her. A full scale search is launched, with the team searching woods and parks, and Kim and Danny are distraught. Jack is found safe with Jodie, but Danny refuses to forgive the Stones'. Kim later travels to the Millennium Stadium to see the team win promotion back to the Premier League, and is in the Players' Lounge with Danny and Tyson when they are rocked by the sound of an explosion. The Harchester first team are lost after Don Barker drove his car head on into it, the trauma affecting Danny with his behaviour and state of mind slowly deteriorating over the next couple of years.

Danny is appointed captain, and is soon telling Kim that the role requires him to be away from home more than he used to be. Kim feels the club is the reason she and Danny are apart so much, and the Christmas party is the first night out they've had together in months. Kim doesn't think it is suspicious when Chloe Tyler brings up the subject of Danny's workload when they meet for lunch. A few days later Kim receives a massive bombshell when Paul Hankin challenges Amy Kerrigan that she has been having an affair with Danny. A humiliated Kim ferociously lashes out at her husband, throwing him out of the house and refusing him access to the twins even on their first birthday. The relationship with Danny is hostile from then onwards, as he begins a new life with Amy while Kim stays at the Barrons with the twins.

Things aren't made any easier with Amy and Kim both close to the club, and with Danny stressed about the way his future is looking, Amy asks Kim if she could give Danny a break, which she doesn't take kindly coming from the woman he left her for. When Danny travels all the way to Plymouth where Kim's mom lives and refuses to leave until she lets him see the twins, Kim decides to give Danny this chance and they call a truce for the sake of the kids. It doesn't last long, for when Kim receives an eviction notice from the Barrons and an invitation to the Harchester United Christmas party on the same day, she is determined to attend and have the ultimate revenge. Kim gets her chance with the microphone and in front of everyone gives Danny and Amy a supreme grilling before throwing a drink in Amy's face! Danny spends Christmas Day with Kim in order to be with the kids, but soon he is reminded of old times with her and they sleep together. This continues to haunt Danny especially as Kim menacingly begins to hang around Amy, and the guilt causes Danny to admit all to Amy.

Danny goes off on loan to Southend during this period, and Kim begins a new relationship herself, with Steve Kramer - Danny's former First Team Coach! Danny returns to this news at the same time he is told that an injury he picked up at Southend has ended his playing career. Danny's downward spiral doesn't let up from here, and Kim and Amy both find common ground when Danny wants to take a risky operation in the States. Before the end of the season, Kim regains her place as "Lead WAG" to Cindi and the other wives, where a mission to discover who Gemma Craig's lover is in the team sees them taken away by police after unintentionally stealing a van.
