IN the wake of their bitter split following her affair, Chas Dingle’s relationship with Paddy is at an all-time low.
But the atmosphere in Emmerdale gets frostier when Caleb Milligan sticks his oar in.
Chas Dingle has gone through a rough time in the village
But she could be making a new enemy out of her brother Caleb Milligan
The newcomer interferes with her relationship with Paddy Dingle
The Woolpack manager portrayed by Lucy Pargeter has been going through a series of rough patches in the Dales.
After losing her mother Faith, her love affair with Al Chapman had catastrophic consequences just as she was getting ready for a new life with him away from the eponymous village.
To make matters worse, Belle Dingle spilled the beans about her illicit romance, which led to a tense confrontation with her husband Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt).
The soon-to-be former spouses have struggled to end their relationship amicably and are continuously fighting.
Paddy even tried to push Chas out of the village but she found an unexpected ally in the form of her long-lost half brother Caleb Milligan (Will Ash).
Unfortunately, her relationship with Caleb is set to take a nasty turn when he decides to meddle in her split with Paddy.
Coming up on ITV next week, Chas makes her disdain for his interference very clear – how will Caleb react?
In upcoming scenes of the Yorkshire-based soap, Paddy is also thrown back into the dating pool by his father Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards).
Chas is taken aback when she overhears Paddy seemingly bragging about being single again.
She retaliates by engaging in some flirty banter with Kev the drayman and Paddy is cut deep.
But instead of showing any sympathy, Chas puts Paddy in his place over his controlling behaviour and reminds him that it’s his choice to remain living with her.
How will Chas let Caleb, who is still very new on the scene, know his opinion isn’t welcome either?
The pair met for the first time during the festive season, after the successful businessman paid Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) a visit in prison.
Viewers initially believed they could sense chemistry between both characters, prompting them to theorise bosses were perhaps working on an incest storyline.
However, mistrust is growing on the Dingles’ side with Cain being the first of his clan to show his brother hostility.
And as he embarks on a new business venture with long-term Dingle foe Kim Tate, Caleb’s true intentions are set to become clearer.
Is there a new feud brewing?
Emmerdale airs from Monday to Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
