Emmerdale fans are eagerly anticipating upcoming scenes featuring Kev Townsend, after it was revealed he’ll be moving in with Charles and Claudette Anderson.
The development has already sparked huge excitement on social media, with viewers predicting fiery exchanges, comic moments and plenty of drama as the unlikely housemates adjust to life under one roof.
Kev’s arrival in the Anderson household looks set to test the village – not least Robert Sugden who is secretly married to Kev!
Kev told Robert he is getting out in Emmerdale
Robert Sugden got the shock of his life yesterday when secret prison husband Kev revealed he is being released. With only six months to live, Kev isn’t seen as a threat to anyone and they need the cell space for someone else.
This is going to make Robert’s double life somewhat trickier. He is currently visiting his husband in jail while keeping it all quite from boyfriend Aaron on the outside.
Robert tried to persuade Kev they should see out the rest of his life abroad. But Kev isn’t allowed to travel. Instead he has to move in with hosts – who just happen to be Charles and Claudette Anderson.

The turn of events has certainly hit the mark with fans, with many already anticipating the drama and comedy that’s about to spark.
“[Bleep] this Dippy and Ape storyline – I can’t wait for Kev to move in with Claudette,” said one on social media.
Another added laughing emojis and wrote: “Kev getting out and moving in with Charles! I can’t cope!”
“Moving in with vicar Charles, wtf…” agreed a third, also sharing several laughing emojis.
A fourth raved: “Charles about to be in the middle of so much drama omg!”
Someone else described Kev and Claudette as the “new Billy Hopwood and Edna Birch”. Classic Emmerdale fans will remember they were quite the pairing too!
A coincidence too far for some fans
However some viewers weren’t impressed with the plot.
“So all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Charles is taking in prisoners, oh my god try to be a bit more realistic writers, give the viewers some credit for having at least one brain cell.”
A second queried: “So. There was nowhere else for Robert’s husband to go to but Charles???”
“Of course, of all the vicarage’s in all the world it’s the Emmerdale vicarage that Kev’s moving into…” Added a third.
Looking ahead to next week, tensions are expected to rise as Kev struggles to settle into life with the Andersons. His efforts to fit in don’t go unnoticed, but not everyone in the village is convinced by his good intentions.
With tensions mounting with Aaron, it seems Kev’s stay in the vicarage could have consequences far beyond what Charles or Claudette bargained for.
