Emmerdale Fans ‘Work Out’ Who Kills Kev – And It’s Not Aaron Dingle
Emmerdale viewers are buzzing with speculation after the latest explosive episodes hinted that Kev Townsend’s time in the Dales may be coming to a bloody end. But in a surprising twist, fans believe the killer won’t be Aaron Dingle.
Kev Townsend’s Dark Past Catches Up to Him
Kev, played by Chris Coghill, made his dramatic entrance to the ITV soap earlier this year. Recently released after serving a long prison sentence for armed robbery, Kev arrived in the village looking to start over. But peace was never part of his story.
During his time behind bars, it was revealed that Kev had secretly married Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley). At the time, Robert believed Kev would never be released and formed the relationship as a way to survive prison life. Now free, Kev is determined to rekindle that bond, even if it means destroying everything in his path — including Robert’s rekindled connection with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).
Threats, Confrontations, and a Brewing Feud
Tensions reached a breaking point this week when Kev issued a chilling threat, warning Aaron to stay away from Robert or face deadly consequences.
In Tuesday’s episode (October 28), Aaron confided in Robert about the threats, prompting a tense confrontation between Robert and Kev. Though the situation nearly turned violent, Kev restrained himself — for now. But his dangerous temperament has set off alarm bells across the village.
With Kev alienating nearly everyone he meets, viewers are convinced that his downfall is imminent. The only question is, who will deliver the final blow?
The Fan Theory That’s Turning Heads
On Emmerdale fan pages, social media has exploded with theories about Kev’s fate. While many initially suspected Aaron might snap under pressure, fans now believe the killer could be someone much closer — Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter).
One viewer wrote, “Really can’t stand Robert’s husband!” while another speculated, “Get Chas to kill him.” The idea quickly gained traction, with others agreeing that Chas could step in if Kev hurts Aaron. “If Kev does something bad to Aaron, I can see Chas going after him,” one fan suggested.
Another commented, “Aaron would be too obvious. A twist with Chas would shock everyone.”
What the Cast Is Saying
Actor Chris Coghill, who portrays Kev, recently described his character as volatile but complex. “It’s very complicated because Kev is unhinged,” he explained. “But there are some genuine feelings there — they’re just not quite what they should be.”
Meanwhile, Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, hinted that fans haven’t seen the full extent of the story yet. “It’s unclear at this stage what his feelings really are,” he teased. “This guy turns up claiming to be his husband while Robert is trying to move forward with Aaron. It’s an absolute bombshell.”
What’s Next in the Dales?
With mounting tension and hints of a fatal confrontation ahead, Emmerdale fans are bracing for a major twist. If the theories are true and Chas becomes involved, the Dingle family could be torn apart once more.
For now, the only certainty is that Kev’s dark obsession is leading him straight toward disaster — and someone in the Dales may soon take justice into their own hands.
