Emmerdale follow-up: Tease points to Caleb being the one to kill Anthony as gun clue explored

In Emmerdale tonight, flash-forwards showed a dead Anthony on the floor… and in real-time we also saw Caleb with a gun, but did he kill him?.

As Caleb lured Anthony into his car, it was clear that he had a sinister plan for Ruby’s abusive father.

But, is it ever really as obvious as it looks in soap? Does Caleb actually pull the trigger of the gun and end Anthony’s life?

Emmerdale tonight: Caleb had a sinister plan for Anthony

This evening in the Dales (Monday, January 20), a flash forward showed a bloody tooth on the floor. Sometime later, another flash forward showed a lifeless Anthony with a tooth missing, surrounded by a pool of blood.

Before all this went down, in the present day, Anthony received a whack on the head by Laurel and a handy candlestick as she walked in on him wrestling Nicola for her phone.

Nicola had realised that he was a danger to children (thanks Chas for the heads up) and rushed back home to stop his tutoring session with Angelica.

After being knocked out, Anthony rose back up like the walking dead and headed out of the door with a cut on the back of his head.

He sat on a bench and assured Leyla (who made a rather random appearance passing by probably so we remember she exists ahead of her upcoming exit) that he was fine. Arranging to meet Steph at the Depot, Anthony turned his head to see Caleb.

Caleb then offered to take Anthony to the Depot in his car, but Anthony felt pressured to accept the lift (Caleb wasn’t asking him, he was telling him).

Anthony was completely oblivious though to the fact that Caleb had a gun tucked away under his jumper…

Does Caleb actually kill Anthony?

So, we’re all wondering… what does Caleb have planned for Anthony? Well, it looks as though he’s out for his blood as spoilers for tomorrow’s episode (Tuesday, January 21) reveal that Caleb forces Anthony to follow him into a secluded barn whilst pointing the gun at him.

Anthony being Anthony of course tries to lie his way out of the situation but Caleb then makes the situation even more terrifying by turning it into a game of Russian Roulette (he’s clearly been watching too much of Squid Game.)

Anthony’s then prompted to tell the truth before Caleb pulls the gun’s trigger…

We know that this week, a gunshot is heard. But, will Caleb kill Anthony? Or, is he just playing a very scary game?
