Emmerdale Fans Predict Kev Townsend’s Murder — and His Killer Isn’t Who You Think
Emmerdale fans are convinced a shocking murder twist is on the way as Kev Townsend’s dangerous behaviour reaches breaking point. But in a surprise turn, viewers believe it won’t be Aaron Dingle who delivers justice — it could be someone much closer to home.
Kev’s Dark Side Exposed
Kev (Chris Coghill) has caused chaos in the Dales since his arrival earlier this year. After serving time for armed robbery, he stunned villagers by revealing he secretly married Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) while they were both in prison.
At the time, Robert never expected Kev to be released, and the marriage was one of survival rather than love. But now that Kev’s free, he’s determined to pick up where they left off — whether Robert wants to or not.
Unfortunately for Kev, his return has reignited Robert’s bond with his true love, Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). Tensions between the men have exploded in recent weeks, with Kev growing more possessive and threatening.

A Sinister Threat
In Tuesday’s episode (October 28), Aaron confided in Robert that Kev had threatened to kill him if he interfered in their marriage. Troubled by the warning, Robert confronted Kev, and the two men clashed again — until Aaron unexpectedly walked in, forcing Kev to keep his temper in check.
The chilling moment left fans convinced that Kev’s days are numbered. As his obsession spirals out of control, his fate may already be sealed.
Fans Predict a Shocking Killer
While many expected Aaron to eventually take revenge, Emmerdale fans have started pointing the finger elsewhere.
On social media, theories are flying about who might end Kev’s reign of terror — and one name keeps coming up: Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter).
One viewer wrote on Facebook: “Get Chas to kill him.” Another agreed, adding, “That’d be unexpected!” A third commented, “Aaron would be too obvious. Chas would do anything to protect her son.”
The theory makes sense. With Aaron repeatedly targeted by Kev’s threats, Chas could easily step in to defend her family — even if it means taking matters into her own hands.

“Kev Is Unhinged” — Actor Teases Trouble Ahead
Actor Chris Coghill recently hinted that his character’s instability is about to cause even more trouble. “It’s very complicated because Kev is unhinged,” he admitted. “There are genuine feelings there, but they’re not quite what they should be.”
Ryan Hawley added, “It’s unclear what Kev’s feelings really are. This guy turns up claiming to be Robert’s husband, while Robert is trying to rebuild things with Aaron. It’s an absolute bombshell.”
The Calm Before the Storm
With Kev’s behaviour becoming increasingly erratic and his enemies multiplying by the day, the stage seems set for another classic Emmerdale tragedy. Whether his downfall comes from Aaron, Chas, or another unexpected source, one thing’s certain — Kev’s story is hurtling toward a deadly end.
