==Reception== Kim Zimmer is often called "the most beloved character on the show." One of her most memorable scenes include her jumping into a fountain and baptizing herself the "Slut of Springfield".<ref name="GL New York Times"/> Zimmer's Reva Shayne and Robert Newman's Josh Lewis are often considered to be one of daytime television's most popular Supercouples.<ref name="17 Great Soap Supercouples'"/> Josh and Reva's story began while they were childhood sweethearts before they reconnected years later and continued their blossoming love story, which weathered her two presumed deaths, three divorces and endless external battles.

Zimmer compared her character to that of her ''One Life to Live'' character of Echo DiSavoy and said, "Echo is devious. Echo doesn’t do anything for anyone but herself. Reva got into a lot of trouble over the years, but it was in the name of love or the defense of someone. She was fighting for her man or children.

Regarding her memorable fountain scene, which is often cited as one of the genre's most unforgettable performances, Zimmer recalled filming that day with daytime columnist Michael Fairman.
<blockquote> "All I know is when I finished that scene I did not hear them call “cut” because it was the most I ever lost myself in a scene. Now, I have had a few of those moments since, but not a lot of them. I mean, I was really good if I had emotional scenes, and I used to piss off one of the make-up artists, because they would say, “cut” and I would crack a joke! Or, I would say I just peed in my pants just to get out of it. But that day after that fountain scene I was lost, and then the crew started applauding. And I can tell you that was the first time I ever had applause on a set before. That was rare. Every body was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop."<ref name=interview>{{cite web|url=http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/guiding-light/the-kim-zimmer-interview-im-just-sayin-three-deaths-seven-husbands-and-a-clone-my-life-as-a-daytime-diva/2011/08/19/|title=The Kim Zimmer Interview – I'm Just Sayin'!

Zimmer came in at the second spot on ''We Love Soaps''' list of the "50 Greatest Soap Actresses" in 2010. Her longtime co-star Newman recalled his time working with the actress over the years on ''Guiding Light''.
<blockquote> "Kim is one of the craziest, toughest broads on the planet. This also happens to make her one of the finest actors one could ever hope to work with. She is always honest in her work. Nothing is phoned in. Nothing is manufactured. She is the real deal 24/7. She will fight and argue and scratch and claw in rehearsal, but when that red light goes on, she is 100% committed to whatever the story is at that moment. She is a force to be reckoned with. When you’re on camera with Kim, you’d better bring you’re "A" game. She will. Every time."<ref name="Zimmer #2 Actress"/>
