Who is Will Ash playing in Emmerdale?
Will plays Caleb Miligan, the long lost brother of Cain and Chas Dingle.
Following the reveal that Celeb is Cain’s brother, fans were left confused on how they’re related.
However, it has since been revealed Caleb is Faith’s son, who grew up in care.
Cain had lied to Caleb that Faith died 30 years ago, but having discovered the truth, Caleb confronted Cain in prison.
A flashback episode on Boxing Day revealed that Cain had taken the blame for a crime for Caleb. He told Caleb to disappear and never come back.
However, when Cain went down for Caleb, he left Chas pregnant with Aaron, and becaause Cain wasn’t around to protect them, he blames himself for the abuse Aaron suffered at the hands of his dad, Gordon.
Chas met her brother for the first time on Christmas Day and was furious with Cain for hiding the truth.
Cain has begged her to keep away from Caleb and keep the past in the past.
But Chas has no intention of getting rid of her only ally in the village following the fallout from her affair with Al.
Fans are convinced Caleb has revenge in mind, with some thinking he’s there to seduce Moira and others believing Caleb is an undercover cop sent to catch Kyle out.
