Nicky Miligan will be attacked by Cain Dingle next week on Emmerdale - as Caleb Miligan continues with his plan.
It was recently revealed that Caleb is not only related to Cain, with the pair siblings through their mother Faith Dingle, but that Cain is Nicky's dad and they are both related to Frank Tate, who is Caleb's father. Nicky is up to his usual tricks, working alongside his dad as the pair try to get what they feel they rightly deserve from the Tates.
Next week, Nicky picks the lock at the garage and tries to search for the keys to the Audi. However, he is shocked when Cain appears behind him and is less than impressed with his actions.
The pair exchange some strong words before Cain lands a punch to the stomach. Reeling over in pain, Nicky glances up at his dad for help but Caleb doesn't get involved - keen to keep their secret under wraps.
Nicky is fuming and grabs a spanner, but Cain quickly steps in and throws a hard punch in Nicky's face.
Later, he is angry at himself for hitting Nicky, and struggles with the feelings of being disappointed in himself over what happened. Moira tries to reassure him that he is making progress with his anger.
As they meet in the Woolpack beer garden, Caleb is fuming that Nicky said he wanted to steal the car.
Caleb tells him to stay in his lane as Nicky secretly resents his dad. He interrogates his son over where he was last night, whilst Nicky tells him that he was with someone, as things seem tense between the pair.
Nicky heads out to the Woolpack to meet Gabby for food, whilst Caleb seethes over what happened. However, could their secret be rumbled when Naomi reveals to Gabby and Will that Nicky had a fight with Cain.
Actors Will Ash and Lewis Cope are grateful their secret is out - but tease much more is to come.
"It’s nice to have their big secret out in the open. There’s been a lot of people speculating, even people coming up to me in the street and asking: ‘What’s Caleb up to?’ and ‘why is he in the village?’ It’s good for that part of the story to be out there, great for the audience so they don’t start losing interest in that thread," Will said.
Lewis added: ""But it’s almost just the start too. Finding out that Caleb and Nicky are related. But why are they there? What are they up to? Do they succeed? How does it end? That’s all going to be really exciting stuff too!"
