Caleb Miligan (William Ash) is up to something mysterious in upcoming Emmerdale episodes after he’s asked a favour by another person.
This results in him trying to sneak out of the house on a secretive errand – but he’s thwarted when his wife Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) catches him and demands to know where he’s going. Will he share his secret errand with her, or will he be able to come up with a convincing cover story?
And what is he up to, anyway?
Ruby might possibly be worried that he’s off to see another woman. He does have form in that respect, having enjoyed quite the fling with Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) when he first came to the village. Of course that was before Ruby herself appeared, and since her arrival he hasn’t had eyes for anyone else. Basically, he wouldn’t dare.
But now Tracy is a widow after discovering that her husband Nate (Jurell Carter) is dead, could the spark between them be reignited?
If it’s not romance, possibly our attention could turn to Nate’s killer, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) – the medic with the hero complex and an unfortunate way of killing people he’s trying to save, including Nate.
John covered his tracks for months, but with his husband Aaron (Danny Miller) having been alerted to John’s true nature, time is surely running out for the village’s latest multiple murderer.
When Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) eventually discovers that John Sugden was responsible for the death of his son Nate, as well as almost killing his nephew Aaron, there’s bound to be a call for Dingle justice – and if Cain requests Caleb’s help, Caleb will definitely want to support his brother in whatever plans for retribution he has.
He’ll also want to protect Ruby, who has been through a horrible ordeal with the arrival of her father Anthony (Nicholas Day) back in the village. Disturbing revelations that he’d abused her and was the father of her daughter Steph (Georgia Jay) ended in violence, as Anthony was killed by Ruby.
Aaron thought he was the one who killed Anthony, and so John tried to protect him by disposing on Anthony’s body. He’s refused to tell anyone exactly what he did with it – and that’s another secret waiting to pop up.
