Emmerdale: Will Ash joins cast as Cain Dingle’s long-lost brother Caleb
Cain gets a surprise when his long lost brother Caleb, who is a well connected, successful businessman, turns up in Emmerdale unannounced.
However it’s far from a happy, festive reunion as Caleb has a lot of difficult questions he wants Cain to answer.
Caleb’s arrival is set to make things worse for siblings Chas and Cain, who are currently not speaking.
It turns out Cain has kept Caleb’s existence a secret from Chas since they were teenagers.
Speaking about Caleb’s arrival, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Will Ash to the village. It’s fantastic to have such a high calibre and immensely talented actor join our wonderful team.
“Arriving on screen on Christmas Day, Caleb has to undoubtedly be the most unexpected and shocking Christmas gift Cain and Chas has ever received!
“Calm and in control, rich and successful, at first glance Caleb is everything his brother isn’t, but will the pair find they have more in common than they thought?
“What secrets will come back to haunt them and how will the rest of the family react when Caleb strolls into town?
“His arrival certainly promises to shake things up for the Dingles and make 2023 start off with a huge bang!”
