Emmerdale spoilers<\/a> follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmerdale has cast a Slow Horses<\/a> star to the cast in a mysterious role, one that is set to “shake things up” on the ITV soap.<\/p>\n

Actor Chris Coghill, who plays Hobbs in the Apple TV+<\/a> drama, has joined the Emmerdale cast this week as a new character known only as Kev.<\/p>\n

He arrives at the village supposedly looking for directions, but it seems like he’s actually looking for someone. The question is, who, and why?<\/p>\n

Emmerdale’s executive producer Laura Shaw<\/a> said that: “We are delighted that someone of Chris’ calibre has joined our cast.<\/p>\n

“I think the viewers will be intrigued to see how the character of Kev will cause shockwaves this autumn.<\/p>\n

“Kev has a strong connection to one of our characters and it\u2019s safe to say his arrival is going to be a massive surprise that will have major repercussions for some of our villagers.”
<\/p>\n

Coghill himself has added that: “I am really happy to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. Kev is definitely going to shake things up a bit and I’m looking forward to getting cracking!”<\/p>\n

The actor has started filming his debut scenes this week, and is set to first appear on screen in September.<\/p>\n
