Emmerdale actor Will Ash has teased there will be "fireworks" ahead as Nicky and Caleb take on the Tates.
In shocking scenes tonight, it was revealed that Nicky is Caleb's son after months of speculation from the viewers. The pair made their way through the Emmerdale graveyard as they headed to visit one specific grave.
When they arrived, it was revealed that they were at Frank Tate's grave, as Frank is Caleb's father. Actors Will Ash and Lewis Cope - who play Caleb and Nicky respectively on the ITV soap - have now opened up about what fans can expect going forward.
Asked about what this will mean for the Tates vs the Dingles, Will said: "It could be a bit of a burden for them both as there's a foot in both families. It's really clever that they’ve used that device to see how much disruption these characters can cause.
"There’s always been that clash between the Tates and the Dingles but it will really ramp it up now! It’s really big what Caleb and Nicky are attempting to do so there are a lot of fireworks ready to go off."
Caleb actor Will has known about his character's connection to Frank Tate for months.
"I did! I knew that Frank Tate was Caleb’s dad and Faith his mum. Plus I knew that Caleb’s son had got a job at Home Farm which Caleb had pushed him to do to place him in that world to find out as much as possible about it," he shared.
However, Lewis says he was none the wiser of Nicky's true intentions.
"I thought I was coming in as a love interest to Gabby, it was further down the line I got the scripts and it started to reveal itself for me. It was a nice surprise as I wasn’t pre-empting anything, I could just look at what was on the script and make that work," he added.
More details are on the way about Caleb and Nicky's history.
"We've started to film some of the scenes of us working together, where you find out more details, and they've been great for us to play. We haven’t had many scenes together before because of the nature of the story and so now it’s brilliant to start this new chapter," Will explained as he revealed there is much more to come.
But what is behind their true intentions and why is Home Farm their target?
*Emmerdale airs on Friday evening at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
