Fans are discussing the shocking birthday twist where Kev accidentally punches his son Lewis, and the ongoing Joe-Caleb tension. The episode is available on ITVX ahead of ITV1 broadcast, fueling online reactions.

Monday's Emmerdale (available on ITVX, airing later on ITV1) delivered a devastating moment for Lewis Barton as his birthday gathering turned violent. According to Digital Spy, Kev accidentally punched Lewis after being wrongly accused of returning to crime, leaving Lewis 'devastated'.

The episode also advanced the Joe Tate-Caleb Miligan storyline. Joe, sensing Caleb is hiding something, visited the depot. Caleb panicked, wanting Joe gone to avoid exposing the counterfeit car parts scheme, as reported by Digital Spy. Joe's suspicions are further fueled by Gabby's warnings about Dawn's feelings for Billy.

Newcomer Steve, played by Jason Done (known for Waterloo Road), debuted in Friday's episode (July 25) as Kev's old friend, immediately causing trouble. The Daily Star notes Steve is determined to carry out a robbery at Home Farm, despite Kev's warnings.

Looking ahead, Digital Spy's spoiler pictures hint Joe may uncover Caleb's secret and face betrayal closer to home. Claudette Anderson makes a desperate plan, and Serena Sugden continues her mischief at Home Farm. Episodes air weeknights at 8pm on ITV1.
