Fans of Emmerdale have been singing the praises of Paddy Kirk as he turned detective in last night’s episode of the show, with newcomer Caleb Miligan in his sights. Has Paddy rumbled dodgy Caleb?
This came as Paddy discovered that Caleb was now living with Chas – and Eve – in the Woolpack. As Caleb arrived home after a day at work, Paddy was waiting to grill him on his background. Does Paddy have Caleb’s number?
Paddy raises his suspicions about ‘evasive’ Caleb
In last night’s episode of the soap, Marlon let slip that Caleb had moved into the Woolpack with Chas and Eve. But something didn’t sit right about this with Paddy, who pointed out how little anyone actually knows about Caleb.
In a series of conversations with Chas and Marlon, Paddy wondered why a supposedly successful businessman would want to move into the spare room above a pub. “We barely know him,” Paddy pointed out.
He later had it out with Caleb in the Woolpack, as the pair shared a drink together. While Caleb assured Paddy that he wouldn’t be trying to play ‘man of the house,’ Paddy attempted to quiz Chas’s new lodger.
“So you’ve got loads of kids yourself?” Paddy asked, before querying how many times Caleb had been divorced. He then accused Caleb of acting shady, saying “you seem really evasive. You trying to hide something?”
Emmerdale fans cheer on ‘detective’ Paddy
As the interaction between Caleb and Paddy aired, fans took to Twitter to register their satisfaction in seeing Paddy play detective. But could Paddy uncover Caleb’s game?
“PADDY THE DETECTIVE,” yelled one fan enthusiastically.

However, as the episode ended, it seemed as though Caleb had managed to talk his way out of trouble. Has he quelled Paddy’s worries?
