Next week, Emmerdale sees an inevitable battle between Aaron Dingle and Kev Townsend, while Robert Sugden finds himself in the middle of a storm of revelation.

Aaron has already been pressured by the Dingle family to apologise for a past incident, but now he’s thrown into even more danger: Kev suddenly appears and… threatens his life.

The story begins when Aaron is asked by Chas Dingle to apologise to Vinny – what happened between him and Robert.

Vinny doesn’t listen, while Kev stands outside, looking at Aaron with a strange look.

Aaron is confused. Then Robert appears, but not to comfort him – but to reveal that Kev and Robert have a connection Aaron never knew about. When Aaron realises: Robert has told Kev more than he thought. Kev can’t take it anymore and goes straight to Aaron’s Mill Flat to “talk”. The scene of Kev appearing, threatening Aaron to keep quiet, was enough to make the audience shudder.

The climax happened when Aaron, in the Woolpack, saw Kev – and Kev coldly said: “Leave me and Robert if you want to live.” Aaron was stunned. Robert stood behind him, his face pale. Chas quickly appeared, trying to protect Aaron, but today’s gift of protection seemed too small. Meanwhile, Aaron had to decide: continue to endure, accept being “controlled” by Kev – or stand up and fight back.
I bet that in the next episode, there will be a scene where Aaron directly confronts Robert at the Dingle house. Robert stammered an explanation, Aaron was silent, then he left the room. The sound of the door closing echoed – and the whole village held its breath. From the hallway, Aaron’s eyes looked at Robert and said: “I’m not easy to handle.” As for Kev – he appeared silently, but still waited for the moment to act.
