Emmerdale star confirms shock Kammy twist that fans ‘won’t see coming’

The recipe for a perfect soap character is pretty simple: start with a fresh face, stir in a few clashes with the locals, fold through a romance, then bake in a storyline that adds real depth.

One person currently ticking off each ingredient is Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah). With a slightly darker, more serious storyline airing next week, he’s well on his way to becoming a perfect success.

Introduced last year, Kammy is a chaotic young man with a heart of gold. He’s deeply loyal to his friends, and is now in the middle of a romance storyline with Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper).

It’s in this week’s episodes that things start to change for the character, as he becomes a suspect in Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) investigation i

nto who keeps setting their barns on fire.

Aaron wonders if Kammy’s hiding a secret when he rocks up late for work. He’s incredibly tired and even has his shirt on backwards, leaving Aaron to question if he isn’t pulling his weight at the garage because he’s too busy with some matches elsewhere.

Even though he doesn’t have any proof that Kammy is the firestarter, Aaron cannot help but ponder over the fact the Emmerdale residents barely know a single thing about this young man. Where is he from? Does he have any family nearby? And something that has personally been bugging me for ages is where does this lad sleep at night?

While it’s taken an awfully long time for those who know Kammy to start asking these questions, we will start getting some answers soon. Next week, Belle starts digging into her boyfriend’s life a bit more, and his reaction will allow viewers to eventually discover that Kammy is hiding a tragic piece of information about his life.

At the garage, Aaron rocks up and notices Kammy looks exhausted. Already on edge, Kammy uses a sharp tone to shut down Belle’s request of meeting his family. At this point, Belle is totally taken aback to see this side of him. Her search for answers leads her to contemplating checking Kammy’s phone, but she’s disgusted at herself for almost invading his privacy.

Belle then opens up to Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley), admitting that it feels like Kammy isn’t telling her something.

She’s hit the nail on the head, as it’s soon revealed that Kammy is homeless and has set up camp in a barn.

Since his arrival, Kammy has brought a great deal of light to the show but also to the Emmerdale villagers’ lives. While actor Shebz Miah has so far enjoyed playing Kammy with a constant smile on his face, he’s looking forward to exploring what’s behind his happy façade.

‘It’s that thing of peeling back the layers and just learning more about the character. One thing about Kammy is that he is the first Pakistani Muslim we’ve had on Emmerdale, and that itself is a big thing’, he explained to us.
