Overview
- Thursday’s hour-long episode concluded with Kev leaving the village following a sword-wielding standoff that capped his recent spiral.
- Earlier in the year, he claimed to be terminally ill to keep Robert Sugden close, a lie later revealed as he pursued treatment.
- Kev had slipped back into crime before the exit, including a pawn shop robbery that put the weapon in play.
- His link to Lewis Barton as the character’s biological father was underscored in his final scenes.
- Viewers shared disappointment and urged a return, with tabloids reporting—without firm sourcing—that producers may want Chris Coghill back.
