Caleb hits upon a risky new plan in Emmerdale and sets Kerry to task
When Caleb Miligan (William Ash) decided to try and restore his criminal edge in Emmerdale, he had absolutely no idea that his plan would lead him to discovering something very dangerous.
The businessman had his pride dented a couple of weeks ago, when he fell victim to a scam that had been created by Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) teenage son Archie.
To get his head back in the game and remind himself that he isn’t someone who’s taken for a mug, Caleb has decided to sell counterfeit shoes.
His sidekick for this is Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), who gets to work sorting some more deliveries in upcoming episodes.
As Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) watches on from the break area, Caleb and Kerry discover a label sewn into one of the shoes that reads ‘help me’.

Horrified, Kerry urges Caleb to do the right thing and go to the police about the label.
A while later, Kerry finds Bear in the office examining the shoe with the label. She’s taken aback by his furious reaction to the news that Caleb still hasn’t contacted the authorities. Reminded of his own past where he was made to live and work as a slave on a farm, Bear has plenty to say to Caleb about what he’s doing.
Caleb tells Kerry that he’s told the police, but is later intrigued when Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) gives him the lowdown about the markup on branded vs non-branded car parts.
Telling Kerry what he’s learned from Kammy, Caleb becomes convinced they could make a fair few quid selling car parts.
Caleb suggests that Kerry thinks about the idea, but she’s sceptical.
The situation with the counterfeit shoes has caused problems already – will the same thing happen if they turn their attention to selling another dodgy product?
‘She’s had a taste for it now, and she’s quite good at it’, star Laura Norton said, confirming that the stakes are going to be raised once again in this story.
‘She knows how to impress somebody of Caleb’s stature. Will and I have really enjoyed working together and we’ve said that we need to find another opportunity for a story like this again, because it’s when you put two characters that you wouldn’t normally put together, in the same world, it makes the scenes so interesting to watch.’
