Emmerdale has just confirmed the shocking return of Kev Townsend, as he was revealed to be the one behind Aaron’s recent attacks.

Robert and Aaron got back from their time away on Friday, and immediately they were starting to look to the future. The pair had decided to put the past behind them. Robert was moving into the Mill Flat, and they were even talking about trying to get Seb back in their lives.

But one person who isn’t happy about that – Ross Barton. Over the years, Ross practically raised Seb with Rebecca, and so the thought of him coming to the village hit him hard. But it seems it wasn’t actually him targeting Aaron…

Robron went head-to-head with Ross

In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (December 22) Robert and Aaron were interrupted by Ross, who was furious that they were contacting Seb’s aunt. He tried to explain to them that giving Seb up was one of the hardest things he had to do. But Robert was determined to see his son.

After the showdown, Robert finally heard back and got permission for him and Aaron to visit, to discuss them seeing Seb. But when Aaron headed to his car, he found the car windscreen completely smashed in. And there was only one person he thought was responsible.

However, it soon became clear that Ross actually didn’t do it. And that raised the very important question of who is responsible?

But it didn’t take long for the answer to be revealed, as at the end of Emmerdale tonight, the camera panned to a very angry looking Kev.

What does Kev’s shock return mean?

Kev returning to the Emmerdale village clearly spells danger for Robron. And that’s exactly what the spoilers for the rest of the week indicate.

Tomorrow, Aaron and Robert are thrown to find the trees outside their flat have been set on fire. And they are even more confused when Ross has a full alibi. But shockingly, it doesn’t take long before Robert works out exactly who is behind it – and tries to find a way to get it to stop.

However, Emmerdale spoilers show Christmas is actually quite a nervous time for the couple, as Robert suddenly vanishes. With Aaron determined to find him, especially with Kev on the loose, has something bad happened?

Kev’s return also brings up Lewis. Will he find out that Kev is really his dad? And what exactly is Kev planning? We know he really wants Robert back, so surely it should be Aaron who should watch out?

It’s definitely doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a normal Christmas day for Robron…
