Emmerdale fans spot huge blunder in Caleb’s plot to steal Kim’s fortune

Eagle-eyed Emmerdale fans called out an assembly blunder on Monday night’s show.

Viewers watched Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) hack into Kim Tate’s (Claire King) computer in the latest attempt to steal her fortune.

Caleb and his son Nicky (Lewis Cope) try to cheat businesswoman Kim out of her money in an attempt to save their own family from financial ruin.

Nicky is engaged to Gabby Thomas as part of his father’s plot to take over Home Farm – but viewers know he’s actually in a relationship with a man named Ally.

On Monday’s episode, the two were up for their scheming ways when Caleb broke into Kim’s computer while Nicky tried to advance his marriage to Gabby so they could get their hands on the fortune sooner.

Nicky shut down Gabby’s advances to be physically intimate before telling her that their marriage had to be pushed forward because his “father” had prostate cancer.

Gabby was sympathetic and told Nicky she loved him, but he didn’t say it back.

But fans pointed out a glaring mistake when they watched Caleb hack into the laptop after sneaking into Kim’s lavish Home Farm property and successfully installing spyware on her laptop.

Viewers see on Kim’s screen that her online banking password was an asterisk, while Caleb’s was not.

Viewers took to Twitter to point out the gaffe.

“I know the #Emmerdale writers aren’t the brightest, but if Caleb had gone to all this trouble to access Kim’s laptop, he would definitely have a keylogger installed so he wouldn’t have to wait for her to access her accounts and write write down the password!” one fan wrote.

“Aren’t passwords normally asterisks or dots?? #Emmerdale,” added another.

“The password still appears as dots and not words,” another fan wrote.

“Kim didn’t hide her password. Bad show, Kim,” another viewer wrote.

Caleb recently found out about Ally and Nicky’s latest relationship and feared their plan would fall apart if he didn’t marry Gabby.

He confronted his son and warned that if they don’t take over the farm, their family will face financial ruin.

The episode ended with Caleb violently grabbing Nicky and ordering him to play along or he would “destroy” him.

Nicky then arranged to meet Ally after growing tired of his controlling father and their scheme.

Caleb’s plan continued to fall into place, after he manipulated his sister Moira into selling her beloved ranch, unaware that Nicky had second thoughts.

Drama! Caleb recently found out about Ally and Nicky’s latest relationship and feared their plan would fall apart if he didn’t marry Gabby.

But he later saw Nicky kissing Ally after they enjoyed a steamy afternoon together, and he quickly confronted his son.

It comes as Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be involved in a massive schedule shakeup later this month.

The ITV soaps will be broadcast at different times than usual, as the live Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals take place at 8pm in 1st place.

From Monday 29th to 2nd June, the BGT live shows will air every weeknight, resulting in a shake-up of ITV shows.

Emmerdale airs at 7pm, while Corrie airs at 7:30pm – compared to their usual slots of 7:30pm and 8pm respectively.

After that, viewers can watch the two-hour live shows of Britain’s Got Talent at 8pm.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
