Emmerdale viewers are convinced they have uncovered the mystery behind Caleb Miligan’s (William Ash) dramatic hospital stay,

which was teased in a chilling flashforward months ago.
Caleb’s life has spiraled out of control in recent weeks, leaving him at odds with his family and embroiled in deadly secrets.
From the shocking revelation that he is not the biological father of his daughter, Steph (Georgia Jay),

to his involvement in covering up Anthony Fox’s (Nicholas Day) murder, Caleb has been walking a dangerous path.

Now, with tensions rising and revenge on the horizon, fans believe they have figured out what ultimately lands him in a coma.

Caleb’s World Crumbles
The drama in Caleb’s life escalated when he uncovered the shocking truth about his wife Ruby’s (Beth Cordingly) betrayal—she had been having an affair with his own brother, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley). Fueled by rage, Caleb attempted to frame Cain for Anthony’s murder, but his scheme spectacularly failed.
Determined to get revenge, Caleb exposed Cain’s infidelity to their friends and family, leading to an explosive confrontation. Cain’s wife, Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb), and her son, Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), were left stunned by the revelation. However, the drama didn’t end there. While driving a limo filled with villagers, Caleb lost control and crashed the vehicle, leading to disastrous consequences.

The Aftermath of the Limo Crash
In the wake of the crash, emotions ran high as Cain and Caleb clashed violently. Caleb launched a brutal attack on Cain before storming off, leaving their already fractured relationship in tatters.
At the same time, another limo carrying Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson), Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), and Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) met a tragic fate. Their vehicle plunged into an icy lake, and Suzy was unable to survive the accident.
With lives hanging in the balance, Emmerdale fans were quick to recall a flashforward that aired in December. The haunting scene showed Caleb unconscious in a hospital bed, hooked up to life-support machines, before suddenly flatlining. However, with no mention of his hospitalization following the crash or his fight with Cain, viewers are speculating that something even more sinister is yet to come.

Fans Theorize Who Might Be Responsible
After realizing that Caleb’s hospitalization has not yet played out on-screen, Emmerdale fans have taken to social media to share their theories. A discussion in an Emmerdale Facebook group sparked debate about what could lead to Caleb ending up in such a dire condition.
“I thought Caleb’s hospital flashforward would have been about Cain and Ruby’s affair coming out,” one fan wrote. “But I was wrong, so why does Caleb end up in a coma?”
One of the most popular theories suggests that Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) could be responsible for Caleb’s hospitalization. Jai has had a long-standing grudge against Caleb, especially after Caleb manipulated him and drained him financially. Could Jai finally snap and take revenge?

“What if Jai snaps and attacks him? Caleb took Jai for every penny he had, didn’t he?” one fan speculated.
Another viewer agreed, replying: “Ah, good idea.”
Others pointed out Jai’s darker side, suggesting that he might be capable of delivering a brutal beating that leaves Caleb fighting for his life. “Jai can be an extremely nasty person,” one fan wrote. “I’m not sure I fancy Caleb’s chances against him.”

What’s Next for Caleb?
As Emmerdale continues to build tension, it’s clear that Caleb’s fate remains uncertain. Will the reason behind his hospitalization be linked to Jai’s revenge, or is there another shocking twist yet to be revealed?

With Emmerdale known for its dramatic plot twists, anything is possible. One thing is certain—Caleb’s enemies are piling up, and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets the ultimate revenge.
