Emmerdale's latest episode has unveiled the true identity of newcomer Kev, played by Chris Coghill, and his connection to Robert Sugden. The mystery character, who had been texting Robert and leaving him unnerved, finally arrives in the village and seeks out Robert.
In Monday's episode, Kev locates Robert and is invited into his home. The pair are seen holding hands, leading to a confused Victoria Sugden demanding answers. The episode reveals that Kev and Robert know each other from Robert's time in prison.
The revelation comes amid ongoing tension between Robert and Aaron Dingle, with fans hoping for a reunion. However, Robert recently rejected Aaron's kiss, stating he didn't want them to reunite 'like this'. Aaron later accepted Robert's support 'just as mates', but Kev's arrival could complicate matters.
Later this week, spoilers indicate Robert will be caught up in a 'tricky situation' of his own making. Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
