Emmerdale fans are convinced they’ve uncovered Kev’s shocking secret — and it could spell disaster for Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle just as their rekindled romance begins to heat up.

Robert’s Double Life Unravels

After years of heartbreak, it looked like Robert (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron (Danny Miller) — affectionately known by fans as Robron — might finally get their happy ending. But as ever in the Dales, secrets never stay buried for long.

Unbeknownst to Aaron, Robert is still married to Kev (Chris Coghill), a fellow inmate he wed during his time in prison. The truth is starting to close in, and next week Robert will face a major confrontation when he visits Kev behind bars — only to be blindsided by a revelation that could change everything.

Meanwhile, Robert’s sister Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) grows increasingly frustrated, urging her brother to come clean before Aaron finds out himself. But Robert, torn between guilt and fear, continues to hide the truth.

The Prison Visit That Changes Everything

According to next week’s spoilers, Robert heads to the prison to meet Kev, only to be hit with “huge news” from his estranged husband. The nature of that bombshell remains under wraps — but fans are already putting the pieces together.

One viewer wrote on social media: “Kev probably isn’t dying and has no inheritance to give Robert. He’s been playing him this whole time.” Another added, “Kev is very possessive — I can see an Aaron and Kev showdown coming. He’s not the type to back down.”

What Is Kev Really Hiding?

Rumours have long circulated that Kev was terminally ill, which reportedly motivated Robert to maintain contact — but fans now suspect that might have been a lie.

“I bet Kev’s faked his illness to keep Robert close,” one fan posted. Others believe the convict is about to be released on compassionate leave, potentially setting up a dramatic confrontation in the village.

“So we all think Kev’s getting early release for his health, right?” another viewer speculated. “That’s when Robert’s lies blow up because he’ll have nowhere to hide.”

Whether Kev is faking his condition or being freed, his return threatens to blow Robert’s fragile peace with Aaron apart — and fans are bracing for fireworks.

A Performance That Left the Cast in Tears

Actor Bradley Johnson (Vinny Dingle) recently teased that upcoming scenes involving Kev will be “unmissable.” Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “He’s such a funny character. I can’t give anything away, but there’s a scene we filmed recently that left me in tears — real tears. The audience are going to love it. It’s brilliant.”

With high emotions, hidden marriages, and the looming threat of a Robron confrontation, it’s clear Emmerdale is heading for a gripping autumn.
