Robert and Kev Reunite — But It’s Far From a Happy Reunion
New preview clips released by ITV show the moment Robert (Ryan Hawley) reunites with Kev after his release from prison. The pair embrace, their chemistry still evident, but Robert’s relief quickly turns to dread. He’s still living with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), who has no idea about Robert’s marriage to Kev.
For now, Robert continues the dangerous act of juggling both men — sneaking time with Aaron under the guise of “farm work,” while telling Kev he’s been caring for his sister. But the cracks begin to show almost immediately when Kev drops a bombshell that leaves Victoria blindsided.
Kev’s Bombshell Comment Stuns Victoria
During an awkward catch-up, Kev warmly tells Victoria she’s “looking well for someone who’s had brain surgery.” The problem? Victoria has never had any operation — let alone on her brain.
Shocked and confused, Victoria demands an explanation from her brother, and Robert is forced to admit his lie. He’d told Kev that she’d been seriously ill and needed him at home, using the fabricated story as a cover for why he hadn’t visited.
As Kev chats with Victoria, checking on her “recovery,” Robert can only watch in mortified silence as the lie unravels before his eyes.
Victoria’s Ultimatum: Tell Aaron the Truth
When Kev steps out of the room, Victoria wastes no time confronting Robert. Furious at being dragged into his deception, she lays it out plainly: he must tell Aaron the truth about Kev before someone else does.
