As Serena's dark secret is exposed by Kev, what does this mean for her future in Emmerdale?
We finally know Serena's secret - but is there more to come?
Emmerdale newcomer Serena has had fans guessing about her secret past ever since she arrived in the village, but today’s episode finally cleared up the mystery.
Suspicions about Serena grew
Ever since Kev mentioned that he knew Serena from his past, we have all been trying to work out how the two might have crossed paths.
At first, Kev thought they might have met at school. He then thought he might know her from his time in prison, but she quickly shut him down.
Ever since Kev has mentioned recognising Serena’s face, she has maintained that he is mixing her up with someone else. However, today’s Emmerdale saw Serena get cross when he brought the topic up again on Main Street, clearly worried that he was getting close to remembering who she is, and blowing her cover.
Kev worked out the truth
As Kev puzzled over Serena, he wasn’t the only one suspicious of the newcomer. Vanessa’s suspicions were also growing after she spotted Serena researching Nate’s death online. Vanessa later shared her concerns with Moira, who admitted that Serena had also been grilling her about John.
Worried that Victoria’s secret might be unearthed by the new arrival, Moira told Robert that his cousin was digging up dirt, and questioned what he really knew about his new family member.
Robert brushed off Moira’s concerns at first, not wanting to hear anything bad said about Serena, who he had bonded with since she arrived in the village. However, when he got home, he found Kev sitting in his lounge, desperate to tell him something.
Robert was surprised to see Kev had just let himself into his house and asked what he was doing there. Kev revealed that he had finally remembered where he knew Serena from, and told Robert that his mysterious cousin was actually a police officer.
What happens next with Serena in Emmerdale?
There’s plenty more drama to come this week when Robert is hit unconscious by a runaway farm trailer.
Serena is there and rescues him, making Aaron deeply suspicious that she just happened to be on the scene. Was it simply a coincidence that Serena was there when Robert was hurt, or did she have something to do with her cousin’s ‘accident’?
Later in the week, Aaron and Chas agree to keep an eye on Serena because they don’t trust her. However, after they do some digging, they’re left shocked by what they find.
It won’t be long before everyone knows Serena’s secret. But how will she explain her way out of trouble, and will she still be welcome in the village?
