Emmerdale fans ‘rumble identity’ of Caleb attacker after he’s left for dead
After the events of recent weeks in Emmerdale, it’s safe to say that Caleb Miligan is far from the most popular resident in the village.
From forcing his brother and sister-in-law’s farm into financial ruin, trying to steal Kim Tate’s fortune, sleeping with his cousin Charity Dingle and pressuring his gay son into a fake marriage – it’s perhaps no real shock that the star isn’t in everyone’s good graces.
Yet it appeared someone in the village was holding more than just a grudge on Thursday, 15 June's instalment of the ITV soap, as one mystery villager made a clear attempt on Caleb’s life by shoving him off a woodland ridge – potentially to his death.
Throughout the episode and the week leading up to it, one by one the villagers had all shown their contempt for Caleb’s actions as he continued to cross them time and time again, revealing an entire smorgasbord of possibilities for who was willing to take justice into their own hands and make Caleb pay for his dodgy dealings.
With Cain Dingle, Leyla Harding, Will Taylor, Mackenzie Boyd and even son Nicky all in the frame for having strong motives to make an attempt on his life, fans at home have been quick to share their theories on who pushed Caleb – with one name in particular coming up more often than most.
On Monday's episode and following Caleb’s plan being rumbled last week, Dingle court regrouped to debate what to do about their dodgy family member. While the Dingles discussed Caleb, the man in question soon arrived and boldly declared he’s staying in the village and there’s nothing they can do about it.
The following day, Moira attempted to deter Cain from revenge while a heartbroken Gabby hid at Home Farm having been humiliated by Nicky’s gay confession last week. Meanwhile, Leyla rejected Caleb when he tried to apologise for his scheming. Licking his wounds, Caleb soon found an unlikely source of comfort in the arms of his cousin Charity, who initially agreed to keep their steamy night a secret.
However on Wednesday’s episode, Charity boldly announced the news of their tryst to the entire pub, after her ex Mackenzie Boyd revealed he was starting a new relationship with Chloe Harris – something which prompted a furious backlash from several residents in the pub, including a heartbroken Leyla. Gabby Thomas meanwhile was still reeling from the sting of her failed wedding and continued to beg Will Taylor to “make Caleb pay” for what he had done to her.
Later, when Caleb goaded Cain, prompting the irate mechanic to lunge at Caleb forcing Chas and Moira to pull Cain away. A while later, Caleb further enraged Mack, who only came to apologise. Burning with fury, Mack ominously assured him there would be consequences.
With Cain, Leyla, Will, Mackenzie all in the frame for having strong motives to make an attempt on his life, fans at home have been quick to share their theories on who pushed Caleb.
One fan wrote: "Kind of wonder whether it's Cain that's pushed Caleb, they showed the filming of it this morning on Lorraine and he was the only other cast member there."
A second then added: "My money’s on Nicky being the one who pushed Caleb & we’ll only find that out when the police have got through wrongly arresting everyone else for it."
Before a third weighed in and commented: "Caleb making lots of friends this evening on #Emmerdale. I wonder why is this. One person who may well have it in for him not seen yet. His own son Nicky. Wonder if that is even his name. Is it another secret they share."
A fourth viewer then said: "My money's on Nicky, but Layla was looking very dodgy there."
However a fifth was convinced it was someone we hadn't seen so far, as they theorised: "How come nobody is suspecting Kim? She's cold enough to do it."
