Howie Danes Kim Fox Vincent Hubbard Share By Joel Harley Dec 5 2025 By Joel Harley Dec 5 2025 Kim broke up with Howie in EastEnders last night (Thursday, December 5), after learning how he’d lied to and betrayed her and the family – and to some, this seemed to signal an imminent Vincent Hubbard return. Kim ended things after a vengeful Anthony exposed Howie at their engagement party, unmasking him as a thief and a blackmailer. She was conflicted (Kim-flicted?), but ultimately called off the engagement… and their relationship. But what’s next for Howie and Kim?
