Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale‘s dramatic affair reveal is set to lead to a huge fight scene, star Jeff Hordley has revealed.
In this Thursday’s (February 15) hour-long episode, Caleb Miligan and Tracy Robinson’s affair will be revealed to everyone at Belle and Tom’s wedding by Caleb’s estranged wife Ruby, which comes after her suspicions are raised by a conversation between the pair.
Speaking to The Sun, Jeff – who plays Cain Dingle – confirmed that they had to have a fight director on set as a brawl breaks out between Caleb and Nate in the aftermath of the big revelation.
“I can say the scene where it [the affair] did come out, it was pretty explosive,” he said.
“A lot of people kind of reacted and said they wouldn’t like to upset Jurell [Carter] because [he] was brilliant, really good. We had a fight director, have [you] ever seen a bar scene where it just kicks off[?]
“I was trying my best to get Jurell off Will [Ash]’s character [Caleb] – I don’t know if you’ve seen Jurell, he’s like something from an Avatar film.”
Opening up about which side Cain takes in the fight, Jeff teased: “Cain sides with his son, but Nate has also done that with him with his wife. So there’s a question that it’s a bit of karma isn’t it.
“Like all Dingles, family is what matters,” he added. “Caleb is trying his best, I think his intentions are right.
“He’s trying to work his way into the family and do the right thing. He genuinely wants to help but he keeps getting it wrong.”
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
