Emmerdale insider teases Caleb secret is 'a good one' as theories swirl

Emmerdale’s newcomer Caleb Miligan has seen his secret on the Dales teased by an ITV soap insider.

This Morning ’s soap expert Sharon Marshall teased what Emmerdale viewers can expect as Caleb’s loyalty to brother Cain Dingle has been called into question.

Sitting in the ITV studio with co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Sharon looked forward to the coming week in soapland.

In Emmerdale, Kyle Winchester's custody drama continues after his mum Amy Wyatt promised she would secure sole custody of her youngster.

He will finally be free from custody after his shock involvement in the shooting of Al Chapman was revealed and subsequently ruled as a tragic accident.

Amidst this drama, Caleb has been acting in a highly suspicious way, prompting rampant speculation and theory swapping among Emmerdale viewers at home.

There has been much talk about who Caleb really is, as some fans of the ITV soap are convinced he isn't really related to Cain Dingle. Fans have also grown concerned after noticing him making a mystery phone call about Cain.

Sharon admitted on Wednesday morning that she is ‘liking’ the fuelled theorising around what Caleb’s secret really is.

She told Holly and Phil: “He does have a secret. There’s something there. Lots of people are guessing. I haven’t seen what it is yet. It’s a good one.”

Show boss Jane Hudson previously confirmed Caleb was hiding a secret – but refused to reveal what it actually is.

"I can tell you he’s not an undercover cop. There is a secret about Caleb and viewers have not yet guessed it. I've been reading all the theories about who he is like not that one, not that one," she said earlier this year.

Caleb had made a cryptic phone call to a mystery character, and he mentioned he was reeling someone in to take something from them, as he told them: "We’re finally making headway. We keep reeling him in until we get exactly what we want."

Caleb has grown close to long-running Dingle enemy Kim Tate (ITV)

Fans have suggested a number of theories about Caleb's true identity. Some are convinced he is connected to Nicky, the nanny for Gabby's baby as well as somehow linked with the Tates – either Jamie, Joe or Zoe.

Others are sure he must be targeting Kim Tate, as he explained how he didn't want anything getting "in the way of me taking it all and leaving them with nothing" as he set his plan in motion.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV.
