Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ why Caleb ends up in hospital – and it’s nothing to do with Cain (Image: ITV)
Emmerdale fans have rumbled what really happens to a ‘dying’ Caleb Miligan.
A flashforward at the start of the year teased Caleb – played by Will Ash – will find himself in grave danger. A number of clips had aired, including one of Caleb flatlining on a bed with a breathing aid on, but what caused it?
When news was announced about the two limousine crashes on Valentine’s Day, fans were convinced this could lead to Caleb’s potential death but it was later revealed that the women were involved in the worst limo crash and instead three of the women – Suzy, Amy and Leyla – all lost their lives whilst Nate’s body was discovered in the lake.
Now after new scenes, fans are convinced they know what happens to Caleb in a shock twist. Caleb and Ruby killed Anthony, whilst John Sugden helped to hide the body, trying to support his boyfriend Aaron Dingle.
As well as Cain and Chas, the others knew about what had happened, but Steph was kept in the dark about what really happened to her grandfather. After she made a discovery about a gun in Caleb’s safe, could she be responsible?

Sharing their thoughts, one fan wrote: “What if Steph is the one who shoots Caleb and puts him in hospital, if he takes the bullet for Ruby? # Emmerdale @emmerdale.” Another shared in response to the original tweet: “Yeah we saw in the flashforward that Caleb is in a hospital bed so it looks like he’ll be accidently shot by Steph. I didn’t know until tonight that Caleb had a safe in the first place. I don’t think we’ve seen him use it previously #Emmerdale.”
Will Ash – who plays Caleb – previously teased Caleb would do anything to protect his family.
“He’d put his life on the line for her and to keep the secret from Steph. It’s too painful for that to get out. It’s painful enough for Caleb and Ruby. They’re just papering over the cracks. It’s inevitable that it’s going to get out,” he exclusively told us.
“Without a doubt Caleb would take the blame. He didn’t see that Ruby was carrying this secret and wasn’t able to say it, but he feels gutted that he didn’t know anything. She’s sacrificed so much for him.”
Teasing a potential return for his other child Nicky, played by Lewis Cope, Will added: “I’d love for Lewis to come back. I didn’t want him to go. Nicky would find out about Ruby and grandad and it all makes sense to him why Steph was sent away, the family dynamic would be really interesting if he was to come back.”
