'Why is this happening?' Emmerdale ITVX episode reveals secret Caleb twist and fans aren't happy
Caleb's let the cat out of the bag
Emmerdale spoilers are included in this article about Caleb. The episode hasn’t aired on TV, but it is now available on ITVX and YouTube.
After it was revealed yesterday that Caleb and Sadie slept together behind Ruby’s back, today’s episode sees another twist in the storyline.
At the end of yesterday’s episode, Sadie lied to Joe that she and Caleb didn’t spend the night together. While it seemed odd that she would keep their night of passion a secret, it looked like she was falling for Caleb for real.
Caleb drops a bombshell
Today’s Emmerdale sees Caleb struggling to hide his guilty secret from Ruby. While she is promising to turn over a new leaf and stop drinking, he is secretly wondering how long it will be before she finds out he has cheated.
After spotting Caleb and Ruby in the village, Joe decides to start the ball rolling as he plots his revenge on the pair. He visits Caleb and tells him that Sadie has been working for him. As the penny drops for Caleb, he is fuming to learn he has been tricked.
However, Caleb messes up royally when he assumes Joe knows about his night with Sadie and asks if he paid Sadie to sleep with him. Having unwittingly revealed the secret that Sadie refused to give up, he has no idea what damage he’s just done.
Caleb lashes out at Sadie in Emmerdale
Fuming, Caleb heads over to see Sadie and yells at her for telling Joe. She is adamant she didn’t tell him anything, and that whatever he knows didn’t come from her.
As she asks exactly what Joe said, Caleb relays their conversation. Soon he realises that he is the one who let the bombshell secret slip – right into the hands of his worst enemy.
Sadie tries to do damage control, telling Caleb it’s their word against Joe’s and that Ruby will never believe him.
However, when Caleb asks why she slept with him if it wasn’t because of Joe, she admits she wanted to.
It dawns on Caleb that Sadie has genuine feelings for him, and he is shocked. He quickly tells her nothing will ever happen between them, and she tells him she understands.
Emmerdale fans aren’t happy with Caleb
But after already complaining yesterday that Caleb didn’t listen to Cain’s warning about shady Sadie, fans are still annoyed at the soap.
They have taken to social media to complain that Emmerdale has changed Caleb and that he would never have fallen for Sadie’s recent games, or Joe’s trick today…
“What on earth have Emmerdale done to Caleb?” said one fan on X. “They have completely changed his character just for this storyline.”
Someone else agreed: “Caleb gets dumber every episode. He just tells Joe about sleeping with Sadie without proof that she actually told him that.”
Caleb admitting to Joe that he slept with Sadie is so unlike him. This changes everything,” added a third viewer. “Ruby will definitely find out, probably at Christmas.”
