Emmerdale: Police call Caleb about fire at his work
Emmerdale fans were left distracted during Tuesday's episode (July 30) thanks to Caleb Milligan's dinner at The Woolpack.
During the latest visit to the village, Caleb (William Ash) and his wife Ruby Fox-Milligan (Beth Cordingly) returned from their holiday in Bali but were met with bad news.
The police called Caleb to inform him that a fire had taken place at his car dealership. Officers wasted no time in investigating the blaze as they suspected an arson attack and visited Caleb to ask him some questions.
But as he walked through the front door, he told Ruby how it was "lucky" he had increased the business premiums before their trip leaving his wife wide-eyed.
A copper asked Caleb where he was at the time of the fire he explained he was at home with his wife, but it was clear the officer had suspicions. Caleb and Ruby later headed to The Woolpack for a quiet meal.

As the character questioned who had been behind the fire at his car dealership, he told Ruby he did not think it would be his former nemesis Kim Tate (Claire King).
Caleb is currently unaware that Ruby has been plotting with Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco) to ruin Kim's life. In The Woolpack, Ruby pointed the guilty finger at Kim but Caleb dismissed her claim.
"Nah, she might be a vengeful witch, but our beef's anicent history. It would make no sense," he told his wife. But moments later, Kim strutted over to Caleb and joked about the fire.

"Is that smoke I can smell on you," she sarcastically asked before Caleb snapped back stating he was waiting for a big insurance claim.
But despite the mystery surrounding the fire some Emmerdale fans were left distracted by Caleb's meal at the pub as appeared to be "eating a whole chicken" to himself from a chopping board.
Taking to X, one person asked: "Was Caleb eating a chicken, a full chicken #Emmerdale @emmerdale."
A second exclaimed: "Why is Caleb eating an entire chicken? #Emmerdale", while a third echoed: "Is Caleb eating a whole chicken #Emmerdale."
"Caleb ordering a full chicken to himself," added another followed by a laughing face emoji.
"That wasn't a good episode except for Caleb's chicken," joked another while one viewers sarcastically said: "I think one of Sam’s chicken is on Caleb’s plate!! #Emmerdale @emmerdale," followed by laughing faces.
Emmerdale airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX.
