Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle take drastic action next week in Emmerdale, as they unite to drive Kev Townsend out of the village for good. Their plan is bold, risky, and built on one goal alone: protect their future by putting Kev behind bars.

Robert and Aaron Plot Kev’s Downfall

Kev is called into Hotten Police Station after Robert and Aaron secretly tip off DS Carter. Their hope is simple. If Kev is linked to the recent armed robbery, the investigation will drag him out of their lives permanently.

A source says the pair are “playing a very dangerous game.”
Both men know Kev is unpredictable. One wrong move could put them in real danger.

Kev Starts to Suspect Something

Earlier in the week, Robert tries to find where Kev hid the stolen loot. But the moment Kev senses something off, he warns Robert that he “doesn’t like being lied to.”

Robert panics. Has Kev figured out what he and Aaron are planning?

Meanwhile, Liam Cavanagh is dragged into the chaos. Kev pressures him to lie about a heart condition, telling him to claim the diagnosis was wrong. Liam doesn’t want to get involved, but Kev leaves him with little choice.

Chas and Liam Join the Scheme

Robert and Aaron reveal their plan to Chas. She initially refuses but later agrees when she realises how determined the pair are.

Liam then accidentally walks in while they’re discussing the plot. He becomes part of the plan whether he likes it or not. Under pressure, Liam finally admits the truth: Kev has been lying about his health all along.

Robert and Aaron are stunned. The new information makes them even more determined to bring Kev down.

Aaron Catches Kev Red-Handed

Kev sneaks into the church and pulls out a hold-all bag filled with stolen goods. He believes no one is watching. But Aaron is hidden nearby, tracking his every move from a distance.

As soon as Aaron sees the stash, he phones Robert. Their plan is now in motion.

Kev Faces DS Carter

The next day, Kev is brought into Hotten Police Station. DS Carter questions him about the armed robbery, pressing him hard for answers.

Robert and Aaron wait to see if their risky strategy has worked.
If Kev is charged, they might finally have the fresh start they desperately want.

But if Kev realises they set him up?
The fallout could be brutal.
