Emmerdale Fans Speculate Caleb Miligan May Have Another Son

In a surprising twist on the popular soap opera *Emmerdale*, fans are buzzing with speculation about Caleb Miligan’s potential hidden family connections. Caleb, portrayed by William Ash, has already reconnected with two children, but viewers are now hinting at the possibility of a third son—Dylan Penders, played by Fred Kettle.

The drama began in 2023 when Nicky Miligan, played by Lewis Cope, was revealed to be Caleb’s son with Ruby, a character brought to life by Beth Cordingly. A year later, the story took another turn as Steph Miligan, played by Georgia Jay, entered the village, unveiling a painful family history. It was discovered that Steph is the daughter of Ruby’s father, Anthony Fox, portrayed by Nicholas Day, who had subjected Ruby to years of abuse during her teenage years. Despite this complicated relationship, Caleb has vowed to be a father figure to Steph, despite her not being his biological child.

As the storyline unfolds, fans have begun to connect the dots between Caleb and Dylan. Introduced at the beginning of the year, Dylan came onto the scene while April, played by Amelia Flannigan, struggled with homelessness. Their paths intertwined when Dylan confessed to battling drug addiction. In March, he left the village to enter a rehabilitation clinic, funded by Marlon Dingle, played by Mark Charnock, leaving April heartbroken.

Dylan’s return in July brought additional drama as he revealed ties to drug dealer Ray Walters, portrayed by Joe Absolom. His journey took a darker turn when he was involved in a violent incident at Moira Dingle’s farm, which resulted in a severe injury. Following this, he sought refuge at an abandoned cricket club before Paddy Kirk, played by Dominic Brunt, offered him shelter at Tenant House. A budding romance with April added another layer to his character.

In recent episodes, Caleb offered Dylan a chance at redemption through employment at his depot, emphasizing his understanding of the hardships Dylan faced. During an interview, Caleb challenged Jai Sharma, played by Chris Bisson, about his attitude towards Dylan’s background, stating, “I didn’t have the best start in life, and look at me now, it’s made me who I am.” This statement resonated with fans, as many believe there are striking similarities between Caleb and Dylan.

The speculation among viewers has intensified. One fan remarked on Facebook, “I’m starting to think maybe Caleb could be Dylan’s dad. What do you think?” Another echoed, “The odds are quite high in *Emmerdale*.” The conversation reflects a growing belief that the connection between Caleb and Dylan may run deeper than mere coincidence.

With these developments, *Emmerdale* continues to captivate its audience, airing weekdays on ITV and ITVX. As these narratives unfold, fans eagerly await more revelations about Caleb’s family ties and the potential for further drama in the village.
