Emmerdale fans speculate Caleb Miligan’s hidden agenda in the village

Emmerdale fans are convinced they have worked out Caleb Miligan’s true reason for being in the village.

He arrived in a hail of drama, and has portrayed himself to be incredibly wealthy.

Caleb even drives a Bentley on his visits to the village.

And while he has claimed that he simply wants to get to know his family, fans think he has an ulterior motive.

They have spotted a clue in last night’s episode (December 31) that has convinced them he isn’t what he says he is.

Caleb visited Moira and pulled a business card out of his wallet for a law firm.

He has offered to fully fund Kyle’s legal defence now he has confessed to killing Al.

However, as Caleb reached into his wallet to give them the business card, fans couldn’t help but notice the state of his wallet.

One said: “Did anyone else see Caleb’s wallet looking a bit worse for wear?

“Maybe he’s broke and wants to swindle the village out of some cash… #Emmerdale ’s turning into Corrie.”

A second said: “#Emmerdale Caleb’s wallet was definitely on the empty side.”

A third said: “I knew that Cain would lose his rag once he found out from Moira that Caleb’s been getting closer to her and Kyle.

“Caleb needs to be careful #Emmerdale,” with a fourth adding: “I don’t trust Caleb’s intentions #Emmerdale.”

Another said: “Can’t stand Caleb. He’s been there five minutes and he’s involved in almost every scene stirring it #emmerdale.”

A fifth added: “Caleb ends up taking the rap for Kyle & Cain obviously #Emmerdale @emmerdale.”

Another had an even more shocking theory.

They said: “Caleb is called Caleb because ‘Abel’ is in the name. So will Cain end up killing him at some point? #Emmerdale.”

Meanwhile, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw previously teased Caleb’s arrival.

And she hinted he may not be all that he seems.
