Kirsty Soames

Kirsty Soames is the girlfriend of Tyrone Dobbs.

Tommy Duckworth met Kirsty in a bar on a night out with Tyrone and Kirk Sutherland in September 2011 and paid her to flirt with Tyrone to boost his self-esteem. When she hit on him, she enjoyed his company. Tommy wondered whether to come clean with him when Tyrone planned a date with her, unaware of her genuine feelings for him. Tyrone was gutted when Tommy confessed, but surprised when she arrived at the doorstep for the date and made it clear that she was not dating him for money. Their date went well and ended with a kiss.

When Kirsty was visiting Tyrone, his lodger Tina McIntyre, who had recently passed her driving text and was using her friend Rita Sullivan's vehicle, accidentally boxed in Kirsty's car, igniting a war between the two women. Kirsty responded by boxing Tina in and Tina left a derogatory note on Kirsty's car, not realising the woman she was feuding with was Tyrone's new girlfriend. When Kirsty found the note, she berated Tina and left. When Rita's car later appeared to have been scratched, Tina immediately blamed Kirsty. When Kirsty denied it, Tina kicked Kirsty's car and later when Kirsty asked Tina about some damage done to her car, she revealed that she was a police officer.

As Tyrone and Kirsty's relationship developed, she and Tina continued to be bitter towards each other. Tina blamed Kirsty when Rita's car was clamped for what she saw as no reason. Tyrone later asked Kirsty to move in with him.
