| ==History== | |||
| Kim moved to ] when his father Barry Hyde (]) became principal of Summer Bay High School. From the start Kim and his father clashed on several occasions. | |||
| ==Storylines== | ==Storylines== | ||
| Kim arrives in Summer Bay after his father, Barry (]) is appointed principal of Summer Bay High at the start of the school year. It is clear the two do not get along and already had previous issues when Barry taught at Kim's previous school. He quickly befriends Robbie and embarrasses him in front of his girlfriend Tasha Andrews (]) when he questions Robbie's virginity. The moment is interrupted when the three witness ] (]) ] while surfing. Kim dives into the sea and saves Noah. Robbie and Tasha are impressed with his heroics and suggest he join a swimming team, which Kim declines having previously been on one. Kim and Barry's relationship becomes more and more strained to the point where Kim moves in with Tasha and ]. His ex, Brooke McPherson (]) returns, telling him he is the father of her son Charlie. Kim is furious when realises Barry knew about the child but grows to love Charlie. The truth is revealed that Charlie is not his son and Brooke leaves, with Kim and Barry's relationship no better than before. He then drops out of school and begins working at the gym after Tasha buys him a share much to his father's chagrin. He re-enrolls after Noah's death and participates in a memorial concert. | |||
| Kim became involved in a ] with Tasha Andrews (]) and Robbie Hunter (]) when he revealed his feelings for Tasha. Tasha told Kim that she could only ever consider him a friend and later Kim and Robbie also became friends. Kim was shocked when his ex-girlfriend came to Summer Bay with a baby, Charles Jonathan, who she claimed was Kim's son. However he later discovered that he was not Charlie's biological father. Kim was never an academic, already having repeated a grade in school, and against his father's wishes dropped out of school and got a job at the ] as a ]. Kim dated Robbie's sister Kit (]), but their relationship ended when she went to university in ]. Kim later dated [[Hayley Smith (Home and Away) | |||
| |Hayley Lawson]] (then played by ]) after the death of her husband Noah (]), but the relationship did not last long and Hayley began dating Robbie's brother Scott Hunter (]) and Kim began dating (]), who unbeknownst to anyone at this time, was the Summer Bay Stalker. It was then that Hayley discovered that she was pregnant and did not know if Kim or Scott was the baby's father. Kim revealed to a furious Zoe that he may be the father of Hayley's child. Scott, Hayley and Kim did a paternity test to find out who was the baby's father. Zoe, a nurse at the hospital where the tests were conducted, found out that Scott was the baby's father but changed the results to say that Kim was the father. After Hayley and Scott broke up and Zoe was revealed to be the Summer Bay Stalker, Kim and Hayley became engaged. During this time Kim became curious of his mother's disappearance and began searching for her with the help of Morag Bellingham (]). Eventually his father confessed to Kim that he had an older brother, Jonathan, whom his mother had drowned in the bath, claiming that it was an accident. However, on one occasion Barry returned home from work and discovered his wife trying to drown Kim. In a fit of rage he killed her and disposed of the body. He told Kim that he could tell the police, but Kim decided that his father had suffered enough and agreed to keep his secret. Hayley (now ]) later pulled out of the wedding at the last minute, admitting to Kim that she was still in love with Scott. She later gave birth to her son Noah, named after her late husband. Scott got a job offer in ] and he and Hayley planned to move there and raise Noah. However Kim, still believing that he was baby Noah's father, got a court order making this impossible. Hayley, Kim and Scott appeared before a judge where Hayley argued that she had Noah's best interests at heart. Kim walked out and was hit by a car. While he was in hospital it was discovered that he could not possibly be Noah's father because of his blood type. Another paternity test revealed that Scott was Noah's father and Hayley, Scott and Noah left for France. | |||
| While in hospital Kim was treated by ] (]). After leaving he became involved in drugs in an attempt to forget the pain of losing Noah and Hayley. Rachel who is nearly ten years older than Kim, became his ] and the two began to have romantic feelings for each other. The two eventually became a couple and as a result Rachel almost lost her license to practice medicine. However because of her influential father Dr. Robert Armstrong, she was allowed to continue practicing medicine as a doctor in the emergency room. | |||
| Kim was shocked to learn that his father Barry had killed the despised mayor of Summer Bay, ] (]), when Josh found out that Barry had murdered his wife and was threatening to expose him. At this time Rachel was offered the chance to work in ] and practice psychiatry again but decided against it because she wanted to stay in Summer Bay with Kim during his father's trial. Kim found out what she had sacrificed for him and proposed to her, saying that he had enough money saved up to fly back to his father's trial. | |||
| ] (]) takes an interest in Kim and feigns drowning to get his attention only for it to backfire and end up struggling for real. However, she is rescued. Matilda overhears Kim talking to Robbie and saying he will ask out his sister. However, Kim means Robbie and Matilda's older sister, ] (]). Kim and Kit begin a relationship before she heads to Paris. Kim gets his driver's license and takes a camping trip with Robbie and Tasha. Robbie steps on a needle and fears he has contracted HIV. Kim supports him, but their friendship becomes somewhat strained when Robbie's behaviour becomes erratic. During this time, Kim becomes close to Noah's widow, ] (]; ]) and they have a brief fling which ends. | |||
| Kim suffered burns when Zoe returned and caused an explosion at ] (]) and Martha Mackenzie's (]) wedding. Rachel arranged for the burns victims (including Kim, Kit, ] (]), Martha and Robbie), to fly out to see a specialist on a ]. However the helicopter crashed and while stranded, Kim and Kit slept together. Once they returned Rachel overheard Kim and Kit discussing what had happened and confronted them. She forgave Kim, and as the two were planning their marriage Kim came down with the ] which made him unable to have children. | |||

His next big shock is Hayley is pregnant and he is possibly the father, ] (]) who is dating Hayley is also a possibility. Scott and Hayley break up, and Kim gets together with Hayley and he proposes, but some people suspect Hayley is only with Kim because of the baby. On the day of the wedding, Hayley discovers she still loves Scott and jilts Kim at the altar. Scott proposes to Hayley and they plan to leave Summer Bay with baby Noah, which infuriates Kim and he seeks legal advice. After a meeting, Kim is run over by a car and it is revealed he does not share the baby's blood type, meaning he is not the father despite paternity results saying so (they were secretly swapped by Eve). Scott and Hayley leave for Paris and Kim becomes depressed. | |||
| Soon afterwards, Kim and Rachel were granted temporary custody of Joe, the baby son of teenage mother Lee Morton, who had skipped town with her boyfriend, and planned to adopt him. However, this was not to be.

Casting
Hemsworth originally auditioned for the role of Robbie Hunter, but he was turned down by the producers and the role went to Jason Smith. Hemsworth was then asked to return and try out for the role of Kim Hyde. He won the role and had to relocate to Sydney to film his scenes. Of joining Home and Away, Hemsworth said "The role in Home and Away is consistent work for me and is a great experience. It is so fast-paced and basically it allows me to learn a lot about the industry." Hemsworth appeared for three and a half years on Home and Away, before leaving in 2007 to focus on his film career. Hemsworth returned to the set of Home and Away in November 2014 to film a scene in the Pier Diner, as an extra and not as his character Kim Hyde, in which he was seen at a table in the background, wearing a black baseball cap. He appeared in the episode broadcast on 19 May 2015.
Storylines
Kim arrives in Summer Bay after his father, Barry (Ivar Kants) is appointed principal of Summer Bay High at the start of the school year. It is clear the two do not get along and already had previous issues when Barry taught at Kim's previous school. He quickly befriends Robbie and embarrasses him in front of his girlfriend Tasha Andrews (Isabel Lucas) when he questions Robbie's virginity. The moment is interrupted when the three witness Noah Lawson (Beau Brady) wipe out while surfing. Kim dives into the sea and saves Noah. Robbie and Tasha are impressed with his heroics and suggest he join a swimming team, which Kim declines having previously been on one. Kim and Barry's relationship becomes more and more strained to the point where Kim moves in with Tasha and Irene Roberts. His ex, Brooke McPherson (Alyssa McClelland) returns, telling him he is the father of her son Charlie. Kim is furious when realises Barry knew about the child but grows to love Charlie. The truth is revealed that Charlie is not his son and Brooke leaves, with Kim and Barry's relationship no better than before. He then drops out of school and begins working at the gym after Tasha buys him a share much to his father's chagrin. He re-enrolls after Noah's death and participates in a memorial concert.
Matilda Hunter (Indiana Evans) takes an interest in Kim and feigns drowning to get his attention only for it to backfire and end up struggling for real. However, she is rescued. Matilda overhears Kim talking to Robbie and saying he will ask out his sister. However, Kim means Robbie and Matilda's older sister, Kit (Amy Mizzi). Kim and Kit begin a relationship before she heads to Paris. Kim gets his driver's license and takes a camping trip with Robbie and Tasha. Robbie steps on a needle and fears he has contracted HIV. Kim supports him, but their friendship becomes somewhat strained when Robbie's behaviour becomes erratic. During this time, Kim becomes close to Noah's widow, Hayley (Bec Cartwright; Ella Scott Lynch) and they have a brief fling which ends.
Kim dates Eve Jacobsen (Emily Perry), who is using the identity of Zoe McCallister. When Kim returns from the city after a break, he is alarmed to learn that Eve has apparently died and was the Summer Bay Stalker. His next big shock is Hayley is pregnant and he is possibly the father, Scott Hunter (Kip Gamblin) who is dating Hayley is also a possibility. Scott and Hayley break up, and Kim gets together with Hayley and he proposes, but some people suspect Hayley is only with Kim because of the baby. On the day of the wedding, Hayley discovers she still loves Scott and jilts Kim at the altar. Scott proposes to Hayley and they plan to leave Summer Bay with baby Noah, which infuriates Kim and he seeks legal advice. After a meeting, Kim is run over by a car and it is revealed he does not share the baby's blood type, meaning he is not the father despite paternity results saying so (they were secretly swapped by Eve). Scott and Hayley leave for Paris and Kim becomes depressed.
He then befriends Kylie Kopperton (Leah Etkind) who introduces him to ecstasy. Kim overdoses one night and is thrown out of a car outside the hospital during the storm. Rachel Armstrong (Amy Mathews) finds him and he is revived. She becomes his counsellor in order to help him handle his recent grief. They become closer and Kim steps up his quest to woo her and they become a couple. Brian Helpman (John Noble), Rachel's superior begins blackmailing her about the relationship and Rachel is forced to come clean and is luckily able to continue as a doctor. Kim is shocked when Barry is unmasked as the murderer of local mayor Josh West (Daniel Collopy) who blackmailed him about the death of Kim's mother, Kerry and stands by his father. During this time, Charlie McKinnon (Matt Levett) befriends Kim and Rachel and becomes dangerously obsessed with Kim. Charlie kidnaps Rachel but he is foiled and instituationalised. When Eve reappears much to the shock of everyone at Jack Holden (Paul O'Brien) and Martha MacKenzie's (Jodi Gordon) wedding and causes an explosion which kills her, Tracey Thompson (Sarah Enright) and Rachel's mother, Elaine (Julie Hudspeth), Kim is among the casualties. He, Robbie, Matilda, Martha, Kit and Belle Taylor (Jessica Tovey) are airlifted to the city but their helicopter crashes in the bush, leaving them stranded. While the others go for help, Kim stays behind with Kit and fearing they will die, the pair have sex. The party is found and Kim and Kit's liaison is revealed to Rachel, who forgives Kim.
Following an unfounded accusation from Tara O'Neill (Cashelle Dunn) of sexual assault and his wedding to Rachel, the drama in Kim's life escalates when Kit returns for the Christmas, announcing she is pregnant with their child. Rachel has some difficulty accepting after plans to adopt Lee Morton's (Natasha Lee) newborn son Joe, fall through.
