Kev is set to make his explosive entrance in the village next week, and fans are already speculating about his true identity. Many are convinced he could be Celia’s son, tying the farmer’s mysterious backstory to the new arrival.

One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m still wondering if Kev is going to be Celia’s son because she knew a lot about Robert’s family.” Another added: “I think she’s the drug boss and Ray works for them.”

This theory gained traction after Robert Sugden received a cryptic text reading: “Stop ignoring me. Call me. K.” — hinting at Kev’s looming presence.
