Emmerdale couple's 'world domination' plot to overthrow Kim Tate comes with major jeopardy

An Emmerdale star has opened up on 'world domination' plans which might finally see iconic Emmerdale character Kim Tate toppled.

Emmerdale spoilers reveal Caleb is arranging a mysterious meeting. Hospital scenes show Caleb’s rendezvous is revealed to be partner Ruby’s ill mother Helen. Caleb is seen to be steely when Helen admits that she regrets the distance between herself and her daughter and that she’s now divorced from Ruby’s father.

The pair argue over Ruby, both remaining resolute in their opposing positions. He strikes a deal with Helen to bring Ruby to see her if she sends him £100,000 - the cash would be used to create a business empire for Caleb. Ruby’s suspicious of Caleb’s late arrival home. He’s riddled with guilt over the deal he’s just made with Ruby's terminally ill mother but doesn’t mention it.

During a virtual press conference, Caleb Milligan star Will Ash gave Emmerdale fans further details about the storyline and revealed famous face Sharon Maughan, from the 1980s Gold Blend adverts, will be playing Ruby’s mum Helen. It is contributing to Caleb's 'bigger picture'.

Alongside the £100,000 deal with Helen, Emmerdale fans know Caleb has been taking advantage of Will’s situation and looking to take his haulage firm stake away from him. Acting star Will has spoken about Caleb’s plans for ‘world domination’ and how there’s one villager he’s still hellbent on bringing down.

Will explained: “I think he’s figured out that trying to get Home Farm didn’t work. Getting revenge with Kim for what happened to his dad (Frank Tate) didn’t work. I think he’s made a pivot and thought ‘I can’t get Home Farm and she swans around this village’.”

Will added: “So, he’s gone ‘I’m going to build a business of my own and put her in her place’ and expand it. He’s going to buy land and become more wealthy than Kim in that area and put her in her place that way.

“He’s started a distribution warehouse. Like a mini Amazon, it is not a mini Amazon, but it is that kind of thing. So, he’s bought that. Also, he’s trying to buy Jimmy and Will’s haulage firm - becoming a one-man band.

“(The plan) He owns the trucks and distributes everything. He also has the place where everything is stored and you distribute it. So, he’s got huge plans financially.”

It was then put to the Will that Emmerdale fans might soon see Caleb and partner Ruby, played by Beth Cordingly, become the soap’s new power couple. Wryly replying, with a smile on his face, Will said: “I think there would be plenty of opportunity for drama if there is someone competing with Kim. In respect of wealth and status in that place. For us as actors, it would definitely provide lots of opportunity for conflict and drama. It would be good to see what happens with that.

“I think it would be good because Caleb takes so many risks in business there’s going to be an opportunity to fail, or not fail, for things to come off. I think that’s quite exciting to have that jeopardy.”
