As they say, misery enjoys company, and on Tuesday, June 13, Emmerdale proved this to be true when Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) joined Caleb Milligan (William Ash) for a drink at Jacobs Fold.
After observing Chloe (Jessie Elland) and Mack (Lawrence Robb), who appeared to be playing happy families, go to the Woolpack for lunch, Charity became irritated. She instantly made a note that she would be absent due to illness.
It didn’t take her long to notice Caleb, who was also having a bad day.
Nearly everyone in the community has turned against him after his plot to avenge Kim Tate (Claire King) by stealing all of her money and assets became public knowledge. Kim is obviously upset with herself for letting his plan take off so far before seeing what was going on.
Gabby (Rosie Bentham) is devastated that Caleb manipulated his son Nicky (Lewis Cope), forcing him to pretend to love her while being aware of his sexual orientation.
Caleb’s own family, the Dingles, have turned against him, which is worse. No amount of telling Moira and Cain (Jeff Hordley) that he always intended to make amends has persuaded them to give him another opportunity. He was ready to destroy their livelihood as a part of his goals.
In this episode, Caleb had just had a chat with Leyla (Roxy Shahidi), who had essentially informed him he had been rejected because he had lied about his identity and she couldn’t trust him. She referred to him as a snake.
How about a drink? Since no one else in the community would even give him the time of day, he didn’t have to second-guess himself when Charity begged him to help.
The two were drinking and talking about their present situations while sitting on Charity’s sofa. Charity believed she had the upper hand there. She said, “Marrying the guy who got your grandkid’s best friend pregnant is fairly tough.
Not as extreme as using extortion to force your gay kid into wedlock, Caleb retorted.
When the topic of their early lives came up, the situation started to resemble the Monty Python skit “The Four Yorkshiremen” more and more, if it hadn’t been based on the tragic fact of two extremely difficult childhoods.
Charity said that at the same age she was “either pregnant or on the game,” while Caleb talked about the children’s home he had been kicked out of.
One revelation that started to fill in some of the gaps concerning Caleb and his wife, Nicky’s mother, was that he had cheated on his wife the day after they had been married. Another was that he was just 19 at the time and had gotten married because he “Wanted a home.” what other children of my age had.
Charity wouldn’t let him to triumph. She admitted, “I cheated on my girlfriend despite knowing she had cancer.” “At one point, I almost sold my own son, too.”
Caleb was forced to admit defeat. He chuckled, “You win this round of Saddest Life.”
They persisted in their drinking and conversing until they finally decided they were “two losers together” and gave each other a passionate kiss.
