Emmerdale fans think they know Faye's real reason for being in the village after Caleb's connection to Nicky was exposed. Viewers of the ITV soap were stunned last week when it was revealed that the newcomers are in fact father and son - and that Celeb is the son of Kim Tate's late husband Frank.
Fans have been suspicious of the characters, played by Will Ash and Lewis Cope, ever since they arrived in the Dales in December. While Caleb was quickly exposed as the half-brother of Cain and Chas Dingle and was wanting to reconnect with his family after learning of his mum, Faith Dingle's death, Nicky was employed as Home Farm's nanny and recently cemented a new romance with Gaby Thomas.
But things unravelled last week when Caleb had to reprimand Nicky when he started following him and new love interest Layla Cavanagh as he wanted to remind his dad about his promise to his mum. Fuming at seeing him with Leyla, Nicky, played by Lewis Cope, asked his dad: "What about mam?" But Caleb hit back "You have got to accept me and your mum are separated. We can do what we want."
"Fine," Nicky hit back. "Enjoy your midlife crisis," before reminding him to do what he promised and get the money. The father and son were later seen walking around the Emmerdale graveyard to visit the grave of the former owner of the estate, Frank Tate, who is revealed as Caleb’s father.
There was one major question, however, that soon emerged from the double twist and that was who is Nicky's mum. And despite plenty of names being thrown around in recent days, following Monday night's episode (April 10), fans think that Faye could be hiding her own relationships in the village.
The character, played by former Crossroads actress Jane Gurnett, was introduced as the new love interest of Mary Goskirk earlier this year, but fans seem to think that she recently seemed to be hiding something. While little has been revealed about her past and if she does actually have a secret to hide, fans have noted her distant behaviour toward Mary in recent episodes.
Some believed she wasn't actually that into Mary after they took things further in their fresh relationship before she hurried off and blamed a meeting at work. They soon, however, appeared back on track and in the latest episode she joined Mary at a family lunch as they celebrated her daughter Rhona's birthday.
But fans think that Faye is simply part of Caleb and Nicky's big plan to get one over on Kim as it appears clear that Celeb is determined to get his hands on his birthright. One tweeted: "Faye possibly Nickys Mother, it couldn’t be any more outlandish than these story lines #emmerdale."
Another asked: "Did this Faye say she was doing something related to horses? #emmerdale is she in on this Caleb/Nicky saga." A third said: "I think she's something to do with Caleb and Nicky," as another responded: "Maybe Faye is Nicky's mum."
