Emmerdale’s Caleb vows to ‘destroy’ his gay son Nicky

Emmerdale’s latest hour-long episode ended on a shocking cliffhanger on Thursday night, with furious Caleb Milligan issuing his son Nicky with a dark threat.

Nicky has been engaged to Gabby Thomas as part of his father’s plot to take over Home Farm, but viewers know he’s actually in a relationship with Ally.

And in the latest episode, Caleb discovered Ally and Nicky’s latest liaison, and feared that their plan could be blown apart if he fails to marry Gabby.

Confronting his son, he warned that their family face financial ruin if they don’t take over the farm.

The episode ended with Caleb violently grabbing Nicky and ordering him to play along, or he would ‘destroy’ him.

Revelation! Nicky has been engaged to Gabby Thomas as part of his father’s plot to take over Home Farm, but viewers know he’s actually in a relationship with Ally

During the latest show, Nicky arranged to meet with Ally after growing tired to his controlling father and their plan.

Caleb’s plan continued to fall into place, having manipulated his sister Moira into selling her beloved farm, unaware Nicky was having second thoughts.

But later, he spotted Nicky kissing Ally after they enjoyed a steamy afternoon together, and quickly confronted his son.

Caleb demanded to know just how long their relationship had been ‘going on’, but Nicky quipped back it was ‘pretty much his entire life,’ referencing his sexuality. 

A stunned Caleb admitted he was shocked Nicky didn’t feel he could confide in him, and they shared a tender embrace.

But the touching moment was short-lived, as Nicky then confessed to Caleb that he was considering breaking off his engagement with Gabby.

Fearing that his revenge plot could be in ruins, Caleb then violently grabbed his son, warning he’d ‘destroy’ him if he didn’t continue to play along in their plot.

Will Nicky scupper Caleb’s plans and break up with Gabby?
