Emmerdale Kev and Dylan’s secret link ‘rumbled by fans’ ahead of huge episode
Some Emmerdale fans are questioning if newcomers Kev and Dylan are linked to each other while other viewers aren't convinced, amid the ITV soap airing special episodes
There could be a secret link between two new Emmerdale characters according to some ITV viewers.
Fans are speculating that Kev and Dylan may be related in a bizarre theory, with other viewers quick to rubbish the claims. It is soap land after all, so anything is possible.
Amid huge standalone episodes being planned for characters linked to both Kev and Dylan, some fans are expecting some sort of a twist to unfold. Fans have already wondered if Chris Coghill’s character Kev will be dragged into the County Lines plot.
Now, they are questioning whether Kev might be the father of Dylan. Dylan was introduced earlier this year, where it was revealed he was living on the streets and was estranged from his family.
Fans now wonder, after months of speculating he’s a secret Dingle, whether he could be Kev’s son. A theory asked: “Is Dylan Kev’s son?”

A viewer responded: “I saw a tweet suggesting Dylan could be Kev’s son. I just feel like it could actually make me care about Dylan (who I don’t care for currently) and give Kev something to stick around for after Aaron/Robert’s ‘affair’ comes out.”
Another fan posted: “It could be interesting.” Others were quick to point out though that Kev has been in prison for years, with him saying in a scene that he hadn’t been out for a very long time – with fans noting he was likely locked up from 2002.
With Dylan a teenager it seems unlikely that he is the son of Kev. One fan commented: “Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, was born in 2007, while Kev has been in prison since 2002. So I don’t think it’s very likely.”
Another fan agreed: “Problem is Kev has been in prison since 2002, so Dylan couldn’t be any younger than 23. So unless he was a sperm donor or something, I don’t see how that’s feasible.”
It comes as actor Chris teased what viewers could expect from Robert Sugden’s husband Kev. He told The Mirror: “Kev is unhinged. There are genuine feelings there, but they’re not quite what they should be.
“He’s an incredibly dangerous person. Kev wouldn’t have any qualms about physically attacking anybody, apart from possibly Robert.” Chris insists that while Kev is a criminal with “psychopathic tendencies”, he’s absolutely “not another baddie”.
He shares: “One day I can be a psychopath and the next day I’m doing something quite touching. Baking cakes.” Chris said fans can expect plenty of drama too. “Charity and Chas get involved and there’s a little bit with Cain,” he teased.
“What I’m really disappointed about is Will Ash [who plays Caleb Miligan] is one of my best friends in the entire universe and I’ve walked past him once in the show.”
