Jason Done Joins Emmerdale as Troublemaker Steve, Bringing Chaos to Kev's Fresh Start
Jason Done makes his Emmerdale entrance as Steve, an old friend of Kev Townsend who threatens to derail the character's redemption arc.
Actor Jason Done has made his debut in ITV soap Emmerdale as Steve, a childhood friend of Kev Townsend who arrives in the village on July 25 with intentions to stir up trouble. The character's entrance immediately complicates Kev's attempt to build a stable life, as Steve begins plotting criminal activity and revealing details of Kev's troubled past. Done is widely recognised from his eight-year role as teacher Tom Clarkson in BBC's Waterloo Road, which ran from 2006 to 2013.
A Familiar Face for Television Audiences
Jason Done brings considerable television experience to his Emmerdale storyline. Beyond his prominent role in Waterloo Road, where his character navigated workplace affairs and personal tragedy, Done has appeared in several acclaimed dramas. His credits include The Innocents, The Long Shadow, Brassic, The Hack, and Silent Witness. He also made a brief appearance in Coronation Street between 1995 and 1996 as P.C. Bathurst. In Waterloo Road, Done's character experienced a major narrative arc from the series' opening, involving an affair with fellow teacher Izzie Redpath that betrayed his wife Lorna Dickey. The storyline evolved across multiple seasons, with both women meeting their demise and culminating in Tom's death when he fell from a roof in 2013.
Immediate Conflict and Criminal Scheming
Steve's arrival creates immediate tension within the village. Upon meeting Lewis Barton, Kev's son, Steve wastes no time revealing embarrassing details from their Manchester youth. The character quickly manoeuvres himself into staying at the home of Charles and Claudette Anderson, raising suspicions that Kev may be financially motivated. More significantly, Steve begins plotting a robbery at Home Farm, directly contradicting Kev's warnings against causing trouble.
The scheme unravels during Lewis's birthday celebrations. When Kev discovers Steve's criminal plans, the situation spirals into chaos. Vinny witnesses a suspicious interaction between the two friends and reports to Ross, but the news reaches Lewis before it can be contained. Tempers flare as Kev faces accusations of returning to crime. In the resulting confrontation, Kev accidentally punches Lewis while aiming at Ross, leaving his son devastated on what was meant to be a celebratory day.
