Emmerdale fans 'work out' Caleb Milligan's downfall as secret daughter arrives

Caleb Milligan is motivated by revenge in Emmerdale and has even risked alienating his son Nicky in his quest to destroy Kim Tate but a new arrival could lead to the Dingle brother having to walk away from his sinister plan.

ITV soap fans have watched as Nicky (Lewis Cope) struggles with his father Caleb's (William Ash) plot to take down Kim (Claire King) but the nanny may be forced to come clean about his true identity once and for all when someone from his life outside of the Dales turns up in the village.

Writing in an Emmerdale forum, one fan suggested another child of Caleb could turn up and ruin the revenge plan.

The viewer pointed out that when Nicky first arrived in the village he told Kim he had five siblings and although the rest of his cover story has proven to be false, this element could be true.

"How many kids do you think Caleb and his wife have when Nicky was interviewed for nanny position he said he had five siblings possibly part of his cover but could it be the truth," they wrote. "I'd like one of Calebs kids to be introduced and them not be on board with Caleb and Nicky plan."

Another fan pointed out: "I remember one time when Nicky and Caleb were talking Caleb mentioned him (Nicky) having a sister but at no other time has he mentioned her.

Nicky keeps talking about Caleb saving the house for his mother so the daughter must not live with her so she’s over 18. What age is Nicky? So I’d say he has two children, a boy and a girl. I think Nicky’s five siblings is part of his lie."

A third Emmerdale fan suggested the person known as 'Adrian' that has been mentioned by Caleb, could be a further clue that a relative is set to arrive.

"Adrian is someone close to Caleb because they know about his ‘take Kim’s money plan’ but I wonder if they know about the Nicky-Gabby part," the fan said. "I would not be comfortable knowing a friend made his son sleep with a woman so he could get her money. That’s weird.

"I think Adrian is either Nicky’s mother or a fake name for someone known to us (viewers) as someone else. Adrian is a common boy’s name but it is also a girl’s name. They got clever not putting Nicky’s surname in the credits. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the mysterious Adrian is a woman."

Will Nicky's sister arrive in the village and team up with the nanny against their revenge-seeking father?
