Caleb Miligan (William Ash) needs to watch his back, as it’s clear someone in Emmerdale village has a vengeance agains him – and wife Ruby (Beth Cordingly) reckons it’s Kim Tate (Claire King)!
Let’s be honest, there’s few residents that he hasn’t made an enemy of in the last few years.
As viewers of the ITV soap know, Kim is currently living at the B&B after a huge falling out with her family. Husband Will Taylor’s (Dean Andrews) domineering ex-wife Rose (Christine Tremarco) is back on the scene and is trying to worm her way back into his bed.
She even went as far to spike his drink so she could get him into a compromising situation. Unfortunately their daughter Dawn (Olivia Bromley) was the one who drank it, and later crashed her car.
Ruby then arranged for someone to turn up at Home Farm pretending to be a dealer, demanding money from Kim – and the finger was firmly pointed at the Emmerdale super bitch.

Kim tracked down the fake dealer and offered him two grand to tell her who had paid him to supply Rose with the drugs.
Refusing to speak out, she upped her offer to £10k, which he also turned down, citing that the person who hired him had more money than that.
She assumed that there could only be one person behind it – Caleb – who she previously clashed with when she discovered his elaborate plan to destroy her empire over her part in his father Frank Tate’s (Norman Bowler) death.
Of course, as we know, it’s actually Ruby who is manipulating Rose into setting Kim up. She’s forever in Ruby’s debt after she bailed her out of some monetary issues.
In tonight’s episode, Kim told Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) that she was sitting in the café as it was a perfect alibi to cover her ‘surprise’ for Caleb.
What does she have planned?
Later, the police called Caleb to tell him that during the night, his car firm had burnt to the ground. Shocked by the news, he rushed to the site and upon returning home he told Ruby that he was glad he’d increased the insurance premium before their Bali holiday.
Little did he know, the detective was stood in the same room and heard every word, not convinced that he didn’t play a part in the arson.
In the pub, Ruby told Caleb that she was convinced Kim was behind the incident – but he remained unconvinced.
Will Caleb be sent down for a crime he didn’t commit?
