Drama series actor Will Ash will join Emmerdale as Cain Dingle's long-lost brother.
The village will be getting a new arrival just in time for the Christmas holidays. Acclaimed actor, Will Ash, will be joining the Dingle clan, playing Caleb Milligan, a well-connected, successful businessman.
The shocking family reunion will come as a surprise to Cain when his long-lost brother turns up unannounced. However, it’s far from a happy festive reunion as Caleb has lots of difficult questions he wants answered.

Caleb’s arrival is set to make things even worse between warring siblings, Cain and Chas, when it becomes clear that Cain has kept Caleb’s existence a secret from her since they were teenagers.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Will Ash to the Village. It's fantastic to have such a high-calibre and immensely talented actor join our wonderful team. Arriving on screen on Christmas Day, Caleb has to undoubtedly be the most unexpected and shocking Christmas gift Cain and Chas have ever received!
"Calm and in control, rich and successful, at first glance Caleb is everything his brother isn't, but will the pair find they have more in common than they thought? What secrets from the past will come back to haunt them and how will the rest of the family react when Caleb strolls into town? His arrival certainly promises to shake things up for the Dingles and make 2023 start off with a huge bang!"
Viewers may already recognise Will from his roles in Solider Solider, Waterloo Road and Clocking Off. Discussing his new part, Will said: I’m thrilled to be joining such an iconic show. Emmerdale is packed full of fantastic actors and I'm really looking forward to working alongside them. Caleb is a fantastically complex character and I can’t wait to get stuck in."
