Cain Dingle in Emmerdale tonight looks troubled (Credit: ITV/Comp Emmerdale Insider)

So anyone who knows a thing or two about soaps knows secrets – especially murder secrets – don’t stay buried for long and Caleb Miligan in Emmerdale is doing all he can to ensure his brother Cain Dingle goes down for murder.

Except we all know Cain had nothing to do with it. Cain merely agreed to give an alibi to help cover Aaron and Ruby’s tracks.

That’s now coming back to bite him after Caleb found out the truth about him and Ruby. But will Caleb’s attempts to frame his brother result in a prison sentence for Cain?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight?

On Wednesday (February 12) several pieces fell into place for Caleb and he realised Anthony had been telling the truth about Ruby and Cain sleeping together.

At first distraught and then seething, it was clear Caleb was plotting his revenge. And his opportunity came tonight (Thursday February 13) when the police arrived to question Cain over missing Anthony.

Cain stuck to the story – Anthony had sold him his car for scrap and left the village. But the police soon arrested him saying new evidence had come to light.

The new evidence was that Cain was the last person to see Anthony alive, he’d scrapped the car illegally and Manpreet had complained about noise after hours. Seems tenuous to us.

But Cain then agreed they could search the garage anyway, insisting he had nothing to hide.

Little did he know that Caleb had set him up. He had planted Anthony’s tooth in Cain’s boot ready for the cops to find. Fortunately, Aaron had spotted Caleb and retrieved the tooth before the police got there. Phew.

So Cain was let out without charge. But with Caleb gunning for him, for how long will he be a free man?

Does Cain go to prison in Emmerdale?

Aaron confronted Caleb over setting up Cain and wanted to know what on earth he was playing at. But Caleb told Aaron he needed to butt out and that Cain was going down for this.

Caleb produced CCTV that incriminated Aaron in Anthony’s disappearance and told him he had to choose between letting Cain go down or going down himself. Aaron was forced to walk away.

So it seems clear Caleb is determined to frame Cain for Anthony’s murder – it kills two birds with one stone for him: take the heat off Ruby for the death and punish Cain for sleeping with his wife.

But now Cain has walked away from the police station, Caleb will have to find another way to frame him. Will Aaron let that happen?

Lake limo stunt leaves lives in danger

Tomorrow night the boys head out for a night in a limo with Caleb and Cain among them. Caleb is forced to drive when no chauffeur arrives with the vehicle.

But anger gets the better of him and he can’t cope being around Cain without blowing. As his temper rises, Caleb is forced to swerve to avoid an oncoming truck. He crashes, but will it be on the ice?

In a flashforward at New Year, Caleb was seen flatlining in surgery at hospital – could he die before he gets revenge on Cain?

Some fans think one of the brothers will try to drown the other in the icy lake.

One thing’s for sure, Caleb is going to get his revenge one way or another – but it may not mean Cain going to prison in Emmerdale.
