Emmerdale Fans ‘Rumble’ Kev’s Exit as Cruel Lie Changes Everything—Shock Twist Leaves Viewers Stunned!

With Kev Townsend’s cruel secret exposed on Emmerdale on Thursday, fans think an exit could be on the cards.

They’re also speculating over how he may leave the village for good, amid his marriage to Robert Sugden. In the episode we saw Robron unite, as Robert’s feelings for his soulmate Aaron Dingle were ever more apparent and hard to hide.

‌

That said, Aaron gave Robert his blessing to go through with his vow renewal with Kev, knowing the predicament they were in. With Robert only staying with Kev, who he says saved him in prison, because of his terminal illness, Aaron told Robert he loved him but said they could keep things a secret.

‌

In the meantime he told Robert not to break Kev’s heart in his final months, and allowed the wedding to go ahead. Of course neither of them knew the truth about Kev’s heart condition, something doctor Liam Cavanagh soon realised.

Approaching Kev in the toilets at the pub after the wedding, he brought up how he’d seen his notes. He proceeded to state that while Kev had a heart condition, it was treatable and he wasn’t dying soon at all.

‌

Kev knew this full well though, and then silenced Liam. So Robert’s stayed with him instead of reuniting with Aaron because he believes Kev hasn’t got long to live.

But Kev is lying, so how long until the truth comes out? Some fans think it will be revealed soon, and that this will lead to his and Robert’s special prison episode next week.

One big theory is that it will come out further down the line along with other drama, and it will lead to a mystery whodunnit with Kev being killed off. So is Kev going to meet a grisly end?

‌

A fan said: “You know what this means, Kev is going to be the next murdered person for the whodunnit. Stacking up motives every episode while he’s making enemies.”

Another fan suggested: “Im guessing the truth comes out next week, leading to the prison episode.” It comes as Kev actor Chris Coghill and Robert actor Ryan Hawley teased a big twist in the prison episode.

‌

Ryan said: “There’s one particularly very nice little twist that neither of us knew about until I read the script. I remember reading it like and I was like, whoa, because no one had told me that was something that had happened, and it is massively pivotal.

“As far as we know, no one finds out about it so there are some interesting things that they’re sewing in this episode for things potentially leading forward.”
