EMMERDALE fans think they have uncovered the soap's next super villain after calling out a slew of his recent sneaky actions.

Over the past few days, his evil genius persona has shone through after managing to convince Jai to fork out an extra £10,000 after promising he will be a millionaire by next year as part of a seemingly twisted business deal.

Elsewhere, he has also becoming oddly hellbent in securing part ownership of the haulage firm and has deployed a number of tactics in order to persuade Jimmy King to sell up to him at a bargain price.

He had a helping hand in placing red diesel in one of the haulage trucks which led to a damning visit from HMRC - a move fans were quick to brand as "sneaky".

The decision forced an already stressed Jimmy to consider selling up in a bid to avoid paying more fines and in order to free up some much-needed cash.

However, his actions could soon be put to a stop with Caleb set to find himself in the middle of a huge 'affair' row with wife Ruby and Moira.

In upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Moira overreacts when she sees Cain bantering with Ruby.

A squeeze of the arm by Ruby leaves Moira’s anger bubbling up.

Barging into Mill Cottage, Moira accuses Ruby of trying to sleep with Cain, confusing Ruby.

As Cain and Caleb arrive, Moira headbutts Ruby and has to be restrained by Cain.

He takes aggressive Moira away, and Caleb hopes his promise to sort it will appease furious Ruby.

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock...

EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) - Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.

Emmerdale: Holly's drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) - In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale's first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.

Hollyoaks: Luke's rape (2000) - Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs - who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.

Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) - Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
