Kev’s Explosive Exit Leaves Emmerdale Fans Desperate for His Return
So, let me break down what’s been happening with Kev Townsend in Emmerdale , because his latest storyline has been absolutely wild. Actor Chris Coghill, who plays Kev, has officially filmed his final scenes—for now, at least. What’s interesting is that he was only brought in for a short stint, meant to stir up some drama and then disappear. But things didn’t go quite as expected. Viewers ended up loving him far more than the producers ever imagined, and now the bosses are reportedly doing everything they can to bring him back in the future.

Kev arrived on the show earlier this year as Robert Sugden’s mysterious prison husband. He’d been established as a dangerous criminal who had supposedly saved Robert’s life behind bars. Their bond had grown so intense that the two even married while still in prison. When Kev showed up in the village, he claimed he was dying and had been released on compassionate grounds, which immediately set up this emotional, tragic edge to his character.
But then everything flipped. It was slowly revealed that Kev wasn’t dying at all. There were no millions stashed away, and the whole sympathetic act had basically been one big manipulation. Flashback scenes exposed how he had pressured Robert into staying close to him while they were inside, and once released, he continued that same controlling behaviour. Instead of turning viewers against him, though, this twist somehow made him even more compelling. His dark humour, unpredictable charm, and completely unfiltered personality ended up making him an unlikely fan favourite.
His final episodes brought the chaos up another level. After catching Robert and Aaron sharing a tender moment, Kev stormed in with a stolen sword—yes, an actual sword—and things escalated fast. Robert was injured after stepping in to protect Aaron, and it took a lot of desperate pleading before Kev backed off. But just before making his exit, he delivered a cold, lingering warning: he would always get his revenge.
This, combined with the explosive reveal that Kev is actually Lewis Barton’s biological father, has created a massive opening for future storylines—ones the producers are reportedly eager to explore. Even though Chris Coghill’s contract ended with these final scenes, the door has been left wide open for Kev to return, whether for revenge, redemption, or maybe even both.
And honestly, with the way things were left, it feels like his story is far from over. Fans are already speculating about where he might show up next—and who might be in danger when he does.
