The true identities of Caleb and Nicky were finally revealed in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (April 6, 2023) in a shock twist for the future of Home Farm.
Caleb was introduced as Cain Dingle’s long-lost brother late in 2022 – but viewers had their suspicions that the mysterious newcomer was not all that he seemed.
Meanwhile, Home Farm welcomed a new nanny called Nicky, who has since been revealed as Leyla’s stalker in a dramatic twist during tonight’s episode.

However more shocking revelations were to follow, as viewers learnt that Nicky was actually Caleb’s son.
Viewers had long suspected that there was a connection between Nicky and Caleb, but this latest twist was just the first in a series of revelations in tonight’s episode.
It was also revealed that Nicky’s dad Caleb is none other than the son of Emmerdale legend Frank Tate.
Frank Tate was the estranged husband of Kim Tate, with the new storyline revealing that he fathered Caleb with Moira Dingle.
The episode saw Caleb and Nicky make their way to the Emmerdale graveyard to visit Frank’s grave, setting the stage for an explosive storyline ahead involving home farm.
During an hour long special episode of Emmerdale tomorrow (April 7, 2023), viewers will learn more about Caleb’s real reason for being in the village and his plan to win back his birthright, Home Farm, from Kim Tate.
Speaking about the dramatic twist, Caleb actor Will Ash said: “It’s nice to have their big secret out in the open.
“There’s been a lot of people speculating, even people coming up to me in the street and asking: ‘What’s Caleb up to?’ and ‘why is he in the village?’
“It’s good for that part of the story to be out there, great for the audience so they don’t start losing interest in that thread.”

He added that he already knew how Caleb’s storyline would unfold before he joined the soap, with Will revealing: “I knew that Frank Tate was Caleb’s dad and Faith his mum.
“Plus I knew that Caleb’s son had got a job at Home Farm which Caleb had pushed him to do to place him in that world to find out as much as possible about it.”
Looking ahead to the events that are set to unfold, Nicky actor Lewis Cope promised there is lots of excitement in store for viewers.
“It’s almost just the start too. Finding out that Caleb and Nicky are related.
“But why are they there? What are they up to? Do they succeed? How does it end? That’s all going to be really exciting stuff too!”
With a Tate VS Dingle showdown on the cards, what does this mean for Kim Tate and the future of Home Farm? And how will this impact Will and Nicky as the two families go head to head?
“It could be a bit of a burden for them both as there’s a foot in both families,” said Will.
“It’s really clever that they’ve used that device to see how much disruption these characters can cause. There’s always been that clash between the Tates and the Dingles but it will really ramp it up now!
“It’s really big what Caleb and Nicky are attempting to do so there are a lot of fireworks ready to go off.”
