ITV Emmerdale legend teases explosive ‘unfinished business’ between rivalling villains in the Dales
One troublemaker will face a second comeuppance after his misdeeds. But what will it be?
ALTHOUGH he rocked up the village with the intent of wreaking havoc, Caleb Milligan has managed to find his mark in the Dales.
However, another Emmerdale icon teased upcoming trouble for the villain played by Will Ash as his past is due to be revisited.
A year has flown by since Caleb Milligan was first introduced to ITV viewers as Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) long-lost brother.
While the latter gained recognition for his strong personality and fiery temperament, Caleb was quickly a favourite amongst viewers due to his wit and suave demeanour.
Soon enough, the newcomer was revealed to be keeping a huge secret as viewers learned he was Frank Tate’s illegitimate son.
To top it off, Caleb had a son in the eponymous village, Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope), and the pair were ready to overthrow Kim Tate (Claire King), booting her out of Home Farm once and for all.
The ordeal resulted in heartbreak for Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) who found out the truth on her wedding day and in hospital for Caleb as he was pushed off a ravine by Nicky once their motives had been uncovered.
Just as Caleb and Nicky were settling down into a normal life after their failed scheme, Gabby vainly pleaded with Kim for them to face repercussions – but her wish may actually be granted after all.
Speaking with Inside Soap, Kim Tate star Claire King teased what’s ahead and guaranteed that the storyline will be revisited in the new year.
“I know there’s going to be a link back to Caleb at some point”, Claire said about upcoming weeks.
She added: “There’s some unfinished business. He can only chip away at Kim and Home Farm for so long before he gets a slap. Beware, Caleb!”
Things in the Yorkshire village will definitely be changing for Caleb, aside from his ordeal with Kim, as he’s due to face his estranged wife.
During a chat with The Sun earlier this year, Will Ash announced the potential arrival of more Milligans in Emmerdale.
Earlier in December, 2023, actress Beth Cordingly was announced as the latest addition to the show’s line-up and she was revealed to be taking on the role of Ruby Fox-Milligan, Caleb’s wife and Nicky’s mother.
Making matters more complicated for Caleb is Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh), with whom he has embarked on an affair.
Viewers of the long-running program have speculated that the illicit couple may be in for some baby drama of their own in upcoming months.
But will Caleb manage to avoid trouble?
Could Kim Tate decide to finally get her revenge on him as he has also shown interest in Craig Reed’s supposed murder?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
