Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Kim Tate realises she has made a terrible mistake tonight (January 30) as the truth about her husband Will's missing watch is revealed.

Kim recently backed Will when he angrily accused Home Farm's groundsman Sam Dingle of stealing his expensive watch.

The row over the missing item led to Sam losing his job at the estate. Sam's wife Lydia also quit as Kim's cleaner in protest over how her family were being treated.

In Monday's episode, the repercussions rumble on as Will continues to accuse Sam of stealing.

Although Sam has now lost his job, Will refuses to consider the matter resolved until he gets the watch back. He threatens to involve the police – against Kim's wishes – unless something changes soon.

As an argument outside The Woolpack turns heated, long-lost Dingle family member Caleb steps in to defend Sam.

Caleb warns off Will and tries to separate him from Sam. While Sam is delighted over Caleb coming to his defence, Will is seething over the newcomer's involvement.

Later at Home Farm, Nicky the nanny produces the watch and reveals that he found baby Thomas playing with it.

Kim feels terrible, knowing that she has fallen out with her good friend Lydia for no reason. Can they find a way to resolve things?

The tension between Will and Caleb comes just as Caleb is preparing to team up with Kim on her new stud farm.

Will Ash, who plays Caleb, recently told Digital Spy and other media: "Caleb grew up in a care home and it was horrible. But there [were] stables across the field and he used to go up there. He found solace there.

"As a really little kid, he used to ride the horses and work in the stables, and then started training them. He then started selling them, and he's made a lot of money. I mean a lot of money – he's got a really nice car!"

He added: "Caleb is a bit like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, where he disappears then comes back with all this money. There's a bit of that for a few episodes where you're going: 'How's he got all this money and where's it all coming from?'

"Potentially, he'd love getting involved with Home Farm – certainly if he's going to stay in the village."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
