Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) has seemingly become the first person to work out who Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) really is in Emmerdale. Robert Sugden's (Ryan Hawley) distant cousin arrived in the village a couple of days ago, but Kev suspects she is not who she claims to be.
Kev's Suspicion
Outside the pub, Kev commented on how he thinks he knows Serena from somewhere. She denied the claim and dashed inside. Tonight's episode confirmed that Kev wasn't going to let his suspicions slide. At the pub, Kev was speaking to Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), imparting some more wisdom after learning that Charity had cheated on him with someone. As Mack headed off to the loo, Kev told Serena that he has worked out where he knows her from. He believes that Serena is a screw, which is a slang term that typically means a prison officer or guard.
Serena denied Kev's claims but also said that she would appreciate it if they didn't have the conversation anymore. The problem is that Kev has form for lying to everyone. When he first arrived in the village, it was revealed that he had been telling a massive lie to Robert about his health.
Serena's Arrival
Before she got to Emmerdale, Serena found Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) beside a lake, struggling under the weight of her secrets about Doctor Caitlin Todd (Caroline Harker) and baby Leyla. Serena was kind to Charity and helped her see that telling the police about Caitlin blackmailing her was the right thing to do. As they parted ways, Serena got in her car and brought up the directions to Emmerdale on her phone.
The newcomer has now reconnected with Robert and Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) and is also enjoying getting to know other residents of the Dales. But Kev's revelation could change everything.
What's Next?
But what reason exactly could Kev have for making this story up about Serena? Is he telling the truth? Or maybe they know each other in a different way? Viewers are left to speculate as the storyline develops.
