Caleb Miligan is left panicking in Emmerdale next week after another twist threatens to expose his secret affair with Sadie King.
Sadie, played by Patsy Kensit, was previously employed by Joe Tate to gather intelligence on his uncle Caleb, portrayed by William Ash. Sadie cultivated a friendship with Caleb's wife Ruby, played by Beth Cordingly, and moved into The Mill with the couple.
Sadie created friction between Caleb and Ruby by coercing Ruby into excessive alcohol consumption. She then deceived Caleb into believing Ruby had spent the night with Ross Barton, played by Michael Parr, before enticing him into bed and deceiving him into being unfaithful.
Joe discovers the truth
Sadie appeared to develop romantic feelings for Caleb, misleading Joe about the true nature of their liaison. However, Joe discovered the truth when Caleb inadvertently revealed the affair, believing Sadie had already informed him.
In upcoming episodes, Ruby and Sadie successfully handle a business meeting, leaving Ruby elated after receiving praise for a bracelet gifted by Caleb. The happiness proves short-lived when Caleb and Joe come to blows, with Joe pledging to uncover evidence of Caleb's affair with Sadie.
Caleb later reveals everything to his brother Cain Dingle, played by Jeff Hordley, who encourages him to exercise caution and be honest with Ruby.
A witnessed kiss
Despite Cain's counsel, Caleb remains hesitant to confess to Ruby, convinced he can manage the circumstances. Ruby's business meeting then takes an unforeseen turn, forcing Sadie and Caleb to pose as a married couple. This results in a furtive kiss between the two, which immediately sends Caleb into a state of alarm.
Caleb rapidly unravels upon discovering that somebody witnessed his kiss with Sadie.
Meanwhile in the village, Cain's dispute with Sam, played by James Hooton, escalates as Samson's legal predicament deteriorates following his assault on Tom King while in prison. Friction persists amongst the Dingles as Belle, played by Eden Taylor-Draper, processes news of her victim liaison appointment and the prospect of Tom's imminent release.
More drama in the Dales
Thea Ramsden, played by Chelsea Edge, attempts to forge a connection with her mother Kim Tate, played by Claire King, while pursuing her investigation into Steve Marchant. She shortly establishes contact with her biological father using deceptive means.
Elsewhere, Kev Barton, played by Chris Coghill, is battling with his emotions regarding Nicola King, played by Nicola Wheeler.
