Will Ash, 46, was recently introduced to Emmerdale fans as successful businessman Caleb Milligan. While ITV viewers aren’t yet sure of Caleb’s true identity, a flashback has already given an insight into his past and his connection to Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).
As it turns out, Will is actually good friends with Cain Dingle actor Jeff, which should make shooting scenes together a breeze.
Speaking during a press event, he said of his Emmerdale gig: “I knew that I’d be working a lot with Jeff.
“That was a massive draw. Not to put anything down but it is work and it is nice to be working.
“A lot of the time you spend out of work as an actor. You spend a lot of time, as an actor, out of work so to do what I like doing every single day is amazing really.
