Emmerdale introduced a brand new face tonight (Friday, July 24) as Kev’s old friend Steve arrived in the village, with Waterloo Road favourite Jason Done taking on the role.
Lewis was immediately suspicious of the newcomer, fearing his dad’s old pal might bring trouble with him. And judging by Steve’s first day in the Dales, those concerns might not be far off.
But while Steve is new to Emmerdale, many viewers will already recognise the actor playing him from one of TV’s best-known dramas.

Steve arrives in Emmerdale
Lewis was working in the café when he noticed a stranger watching Kev from across the room. Curious, he soon asked his dad who the mystery man was.
Kev revealed the newcomer was his old friend Steve, who had travelled from Manchester. Steve wasted no time sharing stories about Kev’s mischievous younger days.
Meeting Lewis for the first time, Steve joked that it was only a matter of time before one of Kev’s children turned up.
After spotting that Kev had settled into village life, Steve quickly started asking questions and even managed to secure a place to stay with Charles and Claudette. He also wondered whether Kev had his sights set on Claudette’s money.
Kev insisted he’d left his criminal past behind and was focused on building a relationship with Lewis. But while Kev has changed, Steve appears to have very different ideas.
