Jeff Hordley has shared how he was thrilled to learn that Will Ash was joining Emmerdale as his long-lost brother. It was revealed last month that the former Waterloo Road star will play Caleb Miligan in the ITV soap when his character turns up unannounced to see Cain Dingle in prison.
As viewers know, Cain is currently facing a hefty prison sentence for the murder of Al Chapman as he is covering for his son, Kyle, who is the real culprit. And Caleb's arrival could put a spanner in the works during an already difficult time as he demands answers from his brother.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News and other press, Emmerdale's executive producer Jane Hudson confirmed that fans of the ITV soap will see Caleb's arrival on Christmas Day when he visits Cain behind bars. "When Caleb visits Cain in prison, we'll discover that he knew Caleb exists and he's known about it for 30 years," she revealed.
