Emmerdale fans spot 'creepy' character trait as they work out Tom King's real motive for being back

Emmerdale viewers have once again brought up a character's 'creepy' trait as it became even more obvious during the ITV soap's latest scenes. Monday's trip to the Dales (May 15), saw Charity Dingle continue to reel from finding out her new husband Mackenzie Boyd had secretly fathered Chloe Harris' baby.

But as Moria Dingle recoiled in shock at the news, she is completely oblivious to the fact that Caleb Milligan is planning on fleecing her. The character arrived in the village at Christmas as the long-lost brother of Moira's husband Cain and his sister Chas Dingle.

Cain was in prison at the time for the murder of Al Chapman after taking the wrap for his son, Kyle. But Caleb ended up helping them get both Cain and Kyle off the hook. However, the real reason for his appearance in the village has only recently come light after it was revealed his dad is Frank Tate, Kim's late husband, and Home Farm's new nanny Nicky is his son.

The pair are working together to fleece Kim Tate of money he thinks is rightfully theirs given that his father was Frank. During their latest secret meet-up Nicky reported back some of the information he had found out including how "it seems like all the money is in offshore accounts".

After addressing the situation with Kim, Caleb moved on to his half-brother and sister-in-law and told Nicky: "I saw Cain and Moira before. Sounds like they’re a bit skint. Getting them to sell that land is going to be easier than I thought," as his son quizzed him if he'd be ok with "exploiting the bad luck".

"It’s only until I’ve knocked Kim off her perch. I’ll see them right in the end. In the meantime, I’ll be back in favour at Home Farm. Getting close enough to smell the money, aren’t we?" Caleb promised but Nicky didn't look too sure.

It came after Caleb walked into Cain and Moira's home just as they were discussing work and money. Caleb appeared as if from nowhere and stood behind them as Moira quizzed her husband on why he wasn't at the garage, claiming a job had been cancelled, as she stacked up their bills on the table, which caught the eyes of Caleb.

It led to fans, again, mentioning how Caleb has a habit of appearing in the right place and the right time. @sofaneilas tweeted: "LMAO How Is Caleb already creeping in the house? ffs man #emmerdale." @itzzzo_ quipped: "The director: 'just stand there, walk in and interfere' Caleb: 'The normal then?' #Emmerdale." @pam_debeauvoir added: "Caleb, the king of lurking! #Emmerdale."

Meanwhile, some Emmerdale viewers think newcomer Tom King has a link to Caleb, despite it already being known that he is the son of the late Carl King.

@LexieAshmore said: "Could a twist be Caleb is married to Tom’s mum and Tom has returned to help his stepdad get Home Farm? Nicky could be Caleb’s son from another relationship. #emmerdale." @Theatreluvvie12 joked: "Waiting for the news Tom King is related to Caleb,Cain,Swirling etc etc #Emmerdale."
