KEV TOWNSEND SET TO RETURN AS CHRIS COGHILL REPRISES HIS ROLE IN EMMERDALE
Chris Coghill is set to reprise his role of Kev Townsend in Emmerdale later this year as Kev returns with a new business venture set to stir up trouble for the locals residents of the Yorkshire based soap.
An unpredictable and intimidating, Kev originally arrived in the village as Robert Sugden's estranged husband who he had married whilst in prison believing he was dying - a lie Kev told to save their relationship which later backfired as Robert reunited with his one true love, Aaron Dingle. However, in a shock twist Kev was revealed to in fact be the biological father of Lewis Barton.
Kev was last seen narrowly escaping John Sugden, after alerting Aaron to the imminent danger leading to Kev fleeing the village convinced that his still-unaware son, Lewis was safer without him in his life. Anyone else hoping Kev reveals the truth to Lewis this time around?

Speaking of Chris' return, Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw said “Both Chris and the character of Kev made a massive impact on the show last year, so Chris is most definitely back by popular demand. With Kev's son, Lewis in the village still unaware of who his father is, it's safe to say that there's a lot of unfinished business and drama ahead.”
With Chris Coghill adding “I’m really pleased to be returning to Emmerdale, I had a brilliant time last year. Kev is a complex character that I love playing. He has psychopathic tendencies but also an energy and vulnerability that I think makes him pretty unique. I'm properly looking forward to getting back at it.”
Emmerdale airs Monday - Friday at 8pm on ITV1, as well as YouTube from 7am.

Great news!
