Emmerdale reveals Kev's real identity and link to Robert amid 'tricky situation'

There's a big discovery on Emmerdale on Monday, as newcomer Kev's link to Robert Sugden comes to light.

Actor Chris Coghill debuts on the ITV soap in the episode that is available to watch on ITVX now. In said episode, we finally find out who he is and why he's in the village.

The Mirror have chosen not to give these details away just yet for viewers tuning in to ITV1 on Monday evening. This article does contain some slight spoilers though, so look away now if you want to avoid any details.

In the episode, Kev locates Robert and he soon gets invited into his home. It follows Friday's episode that saw someone, known as K, texting Robert and leaving him unnerved.

The message asked Robert to "stop ignoring" him, and Robert began looking around to see if anyone was watching him. On Monday, we see Kev arrive in the village and asking for directions to where he might find Robert.

Robert opens the door to a very familiar face, Kev. As he watches to see if anyone has spotted them together, he quickly closes the door and it becomes clear they know each other.

In this episode it details who he is and how he and Robert know each other, as we learn more about his time in prison. Victoria Sugden, Robert's sister, walks in on the pair holding hands and quickly questions what is going on.

Confused, she demands answers with Robert left to explain who Kev is. Viewers can expect an explanation about it all, while later in the week spoilers reveal Robert is caught up in a "tricky situation" that he has caused for himself.

But what does this mean for Robert and Aaron Dingle, amid hopes of a Robron reunion? On Friday Aaron tried to kiss his ex, after a traumatic few weeks thanks to his killer husband John Sugden.

Robert rejected the kiss though, telling Aaron that he didn't want them to reunite "like this", knowing what Aaron was going through. Aaron initially acted out over this but soon realised Robert was supporting him.

He told Robert he couldn't get through the turmoil on his own, grateful to have him by his side even if "just as mates". Robert promised he'd help "fix" him and that he was going nowhere - but what will Kev's arrival bring to the pair, and how will Aaron react to Kev's arrival when he finds out?
