Emmerdale stars reveal 'broken' Kev triggers 'explosive' scenes for Aaron and Robert

With a reunion confirmed for Emmerdale's Robron, it seems there's still the challenge of Robert Sugden's secret husband Kev to deal with.

Wednesday night's episode saw Robert and his soulmate Aaron Dingle finally reunite onscreen, agreeing to give their love another chance. They decided to keep it between them for now, but of course this isn't the only secret Robert's hiding.

We met his secret husband Kev this week, and now The Mirror can reveal the character will be back in the village soon - and fans should expect explosive twists and turns. With a new love triangle of sorts in true soap fashion, Robert is left torn over keeping things on track with Aaron, and making Kev happy in his final months following the bombshell that he is dying.

Soon enough, it becomes clear Kev will cause problems for Robert and his relationship with Aaron. Robert actor Ryan Hawley told us: "It would be boring if true love ran smoothly in a soap wouldn’t it?

"Poor Robert is going to have this huge dilemma and it’s a stressful time for him. He’s come back to the village to try to stop a marriage and now there is this other guy who is dying.

"When Aaron finds out Robert has a husband, it’s going to be explosive. But all is not what it seems and Kev is volatile, broken, damaged and he creates so many problems for Robert and Aaron."

Aaron actor Danny Miller dubbed Kev an "endearing psychopath", as he mocked the likeness to Aaron's killer husband John Sugden. He told us: "It’s a new way of actually highlighting how Aaron and Robert do think the same – they have both found psychopaths separately in their lives who have both come in between them to really test their love and passion.

"Chris is brilliant as Kev and he’s a great addition." Ryan agreed: "He has such a lot of experience. It’s great to be working with him and Danny together."

But Ryan did share hope for Robron, with he and Danny thrilled to see the pair back together again. He shared: "All the obstacles are out the way and Robert and Aaron are free to be back together. They agree to keep it a secret because they don’t want the distraction of other people’s opinions - after all, Aaron has just found out his husband is a serial killer, he’s out of a coma and his husband is on the run.

"It’s time to move on! The fact it is so soon and he is jumping in with Robert doesn’t matter to them. They think it is best for them." As for whether Robron will ever walk down the aisle again, the truth is something not even the actors know.

Both agree it would, however, be the perfect icing on the cake if they did. "Hopefully one day, they will be able to be out in the open and honest with everyone," said Danny. "But we will just have to wait and see!"
