Emmerdale viewers are convinced they have worked out a fresh new twist.
The long-running soap has been rocked with drama since Caleb Milligan arrived in the fictional Yorkshire village. Fans were suspicious over the true motives of the character played by Will Ash.
Viewers' fears were confirmed last week when it was revealed Caleb was actually Frank Tate's long lost son and he was plotting to claim Home Farm. Nicky was exposed to be Caleb's son and is behind enemy lines at Home Farm to get information for his dad's mission.

However, the plotters were in dispute after Caleb cosied up to Leyla Cavanagh as Nicky referenced his mum. Caleb shot back: "You have got to accept me and your mum are separated. We can do what we want."
The fact Nicky's mum is still alive has led viewers to speculate that she will soon arrive on the ITV soap to make it a full family affair. However, some fans are convinced she may have already arrived as they reckon Mary Goskirk's new love interest, Faye, may not be telling the truth about her identity.
Ryan said: "What if Faye is Nicky's mother?"
Jehan posted: "Maybe Faye is Nicky's mum."
TGB commented: "Faye possibly Nickys Mother, it couldn’t be any more outlandish than these story lines"
