Emmerdale: Caleb attacker makes shocking confession at his hospital bed as they admit ‘I thought I killed you’
Caleb Milligan’s attacker was revealed on Tuesday night’s episode of Emmerdale.
Caleb is in a coma in the hospital after being pushed off a cliff and left for dead.
In recent episodes, the entire village turned on Caleb, as he called out to his family in a Western-style scene at the Woolpack.
In a major whodunnit, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) were all potential suspects, and the police worked hard to uncover the villain.
But in a shocking turn of events, Nicky (Lewis Cope) confessed to his father Caleb’s hospital bedside.

In an interrogation room, police told Mack that the charge could be changed from attempted murder to murder as Caleb’s condition worsened, before the scene cut to Nicky telling his unconscious father, “I thought I killed you.”
As the credits rolled, fans were elated that they had already rumbled who the assailant was, before Nicky’s confession.
One wrote, “I knew it was Nicky! I don’t blame him because the way Caleb treated him was shocking.”
Another said, “Knew it was Tricky Nicky.”
A third viewer commented, “And that’s it for tonight – see you all tomorrow for more now that the fastest whodunnit in soap history has ended!”
Nicky recently fled the village after confessing his sexuality to his fiancé Gabby.
And he’s not yet on the police radar, so the question is, will he blame innocent Mack for the attack?
Lewis, who plays Nicky, told the storyline The express: ‘The reason we [want to] getting revenge is so we can take care of my mother.
‘So he [Caleb] just lied to me all the time and it was only then that i realized and discovered that information.

“So I then follow him into the woods and I think it’s just a whim… I think he’s been pushed into a corner and he feels betrayed and hurt and something just comes over him and he just takes a decision and anger gains the upper hand.’
Elsewhere on Tuesday’s show, Chas was upset when she heard the recently returned Paddy and Mandy announce their relationship with Bear.
When alone, Mandy made her moves on Paddy, but she continues to deflate when he makes excuses.
The next day, Mandy and Paddy felt the pressure of the village’s eyes on their relationship, and when Mandy asked him to sleep over, Paddy dissuaded her with excuses.
