The residents of Emmerdale have not yet had time to calm down after a series of tragedies when a name has just returned and shaken the whole village: Kev Townsend – a man with a cold look and a distorted mentality.

This time, Kev is no longer an anonymous prisoner, but a new storm of Emmerdale – when the past, love and danger become one.

From the first seconds, Kev made the audience shiver.

His eyes looked at Robert Sugden – both passionate and scary – as if he wanted to take over that man’s entire life.

Robert used to be the only “light” in Kev’s confined life, but now, that feeling has been distorted into a sick obsession. The chilling sentence “If you leave me, no one will be safe” echoed in the new trailer, making the online community “stand on end”.

More importantly, the relationship between Kev – Robert – Aaron Dingle is gradually becoming the center of the storm. Aaron – who had a past relationship with Robert – witnessed Kev return and became jealous. In a revealed scene, Aaron caught Robert and Kev arguing fiercely in the parking lot, then suddenly saw Robert… hugging Kev. This twist made Aaron angry, and with just one impulsive action, the three of them will have no way back.

Actor Chris Coghill (playing Kev) revealed on Metro UK that: “Kev is not simply a bad guy. He is a damaged person, but a dangerous person. He loves, but loves in a way that scares others.” And true to his words, Kev is gradually moving from the boundary of “pitiful” to “scary”.

Many viewers predict that Emmerdale is about to witness a shocking violence or kidnapping, when Kev cannot control himself. The image of him standing in the dark, holding the box containing his old wedding ring, his eyes filled with tears and anger – signals a reckless action about to happen.

“Kev loves, but the way he loves can kill others.” – one fan commented. And perhaps, that is why Emmerdale is called “the town of twisted hearts” – where love and danger always go hand in hand.
