Emmerdale fans predict shock Caleb plot twist

Taking to Twitter, Emmerdale fans theorised as to Caleb’s true intentions.

Many viewers predicted that Caleb may be an undercover police officer, come to uncover the truth behind Al’s death.

“Caleb the undercover cop. Coming out of the blue just after a murder to try to uncover the truth about Al’s murder. Getting close to the Dingles, especially Moira and Chas,” wrote one viewer.

“Probably either a cop himself or he’s been watching his family for a while after finding out about Faith, my guess was he’s dodgy,” said another.

“I think a few Tweeters have got it right – getting undercover cop vibes off Caleb – let’s hope he’s not another Spider,” agreed a third, referencing a current Coronation Street storyline.
