Emmerdale aired explosive scenes on Friday night as Caleb Miligan was left stunned to see the arrival of his estranged daughter, Steph Miligan, who had a bombshell for her dad

Emmerdale’s Steph Miligan dropped an explosive bombshell on her estranged father, Caleb Miligan, on Friday’s episode.

During the latest instalment, Jai Sharma, played by Chris Bisson, was out for revenge after learning that Caleb, played by Will Ash, had conned him.

Over the summer, Jai and Caleb bonded when the latter gave Jai some advice about how to hide his assets from ex-wife Laurel Thomas, played by Charlotte Bellamy, during their divorce proceedings.

As such, the duo got into business together with Jai handing over thousands, believing it was going into both an offshore account and Caleb’s haulage company.

However, on Friday night, Jai realised he’d been conned as Caleb told him he had no financial stake his company and had no record of him making any financial distribution to his business.

Jai threatened to call the police but Caleb pointed out that he couldn’t report him without incriminating himself due to hiding assets in an offshore account to avoid a divorce settlement. Caleb said: “A fool and his money, I hope I’ve taught you a valuable lesson.”

Later in the episode, Jai decided to trash Caleb’s haulage warehouse before trapping him in a forklift to which Caleb’s daughter, Steph, played by Georgia Jay, entered and started recording the confrontation, warning Jai to stop or she’d send the footage to the police.

Upon speaking to her father, it was clear Steph was estranged from her parents for years as she dropped a bombshell about her brother, Nicky, played by Lewis Cope, who left the village over the summer.

Caleb said they didn’t know where to find her and had struggled to get in touch to which Steph replied it wasn’t hard as they only had to speak to son, Nicky.

The revelation left Caleb crushed as he said: “What, you two are in touch?” to which Steph admitted: “Now and then!” as Caleb replied: “Well you never mentioned that!”

Thinking that Steph might be after a reconciliation, it was then that the newcomer teased her true plans for her village return as Steph said: “Who says I’m here to see you?”

Steph revealed she wanted her grandmother’s inheritance as she was getting nowhere with her solicitors. She warned: “I’m only here for my inheritance and after that? Yeah, I’m gone for good…” but could Steph have more plans in store?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
