Emmerdale releases clip of Cain meeting long-lost brother Caleb

Emmerdale have today released the first clip and some behind-the-scenes photos of their upcoming flashback episode, which details the history between Cain and his long-lost brother Caleb.

Whilst Cain (Jeff Hordley) languishes in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, things are stirring elsewhere in the Dingle family as Cain and Chas’s (Lucy Pargeter) half-brother Caleb Miligan (Will Ash) arrives in the village.

The secret son of Cain and Chas’s late mum Faith (Sally Dexter), Caleb is a successful businessman who wants answers, particularly after learning that Faith has only recently died, having been told by Cain that she’d passed 30 years ago.

After Caleb’s shock arrival on Christmas Day, a special episode to be shown on Boxing Day will take us back to 1991 to show us what exactly went down when Cain and Caleb first met.

We will learn how the brothers became estranged, and why Cain kept Caleb’s existence a secret from Chas and the rest of the family for all these years.

Taking on the roles of young Cain and Caleb in the flashback scenes will be Aiden Kane and Riccardo Drayton respectively, who are pictured meeting with their older counterparts Jeff and Will during rehearsals back in October, alongside the episode’s director Michael Lacey.

The flashbacks will also feature a teenage Chas, who will be portrayed by actor Maddy Barker.

Cain isn’t pleased to see Caleb when he visits him in prison on Christmas Day. The two stare at each other without saying a word, before Caleb finally confronts Cain over the lies he’d been fed, angry that he had the chance to get to know his mother taken away from him.

Cain has no interest in a reunion, and warns Caleb to stay away from the rest of the family.

Meanwhile, Chas is feeling isolated from her family following the dramatic reveal of her affair with the late Al Chapman (Michael Wildman).

Although she and Paddy (Dominic Brunt) resolve to put on a happy face on Christmas Day for the sake of their daughter Eve (Bella James), the atmosphere becomes too much for Chas, who slips out quietly.

Heading to daughter Grace’s grave with Faith’s firework in tow, Chas reads the letter left to her by her mother before letting off the firework.

But as Faith quite literally goes out with a bang, she’s one more bombshell left for Chas, as a stranger approaches out of the shadows…

Emmerdale airs the special flashback episode on ITV1, 7pm on Monday 26th December.
