Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “I’m still wondering if Kev is going to be Celia’s son because she new a lot about Robert’s family (even though they are well known) #Emmerdale.”

Another social media user replied: “That’s a good point. I’d forgotten that. I think she’s the drug boss and Ray works for them.”

A third person agreed: “Yes it could be and I was wondering if Robert had to either do drugs in prison or sell them. I could be way off mind.”
