Earlier this year, Emmerdale shared a flashforward scene, which showed Caleb Miligan flatlining on an operating table. Fans now believe Steph will be at fault for this.

Caleb and Steph’s relationship is tempestuous at the moment as she believes he is at least partly responsible for her grandfather’s disappearance.

Now a new fan theory has suggested that Steph will be responsible for Caleb ending up in hospital.

Steph believes her dad is a murderer

Earlier this year, Anthony Fox disappeared from the village. He was killed by his daughter Ruby, with several villagers, including Caleb, being in on the cover-up.

However, Steph is unaware of the truth. But she doesn’t believe her grandfather would just leave without even sending a message so has been doing some digging.

In scenes this week, Steph found a gun in her parents’ safe. Wednesday’s episode sees her confront them over it and question whether it was used on Anthony.

Steph later outlines her plan to shop Ruby and Caleb to the police for their involvement in Anthony’s disappearance, believing they deserve to be punished if they have committed a crime.

Fan theory says Steph is to blame for Caleb being in hospital

At the start of the year, Emmerdale released five flashforward scenes, showing what is coming up this year in Emmerdale.

While some have already played out on screen, there are a couple we’ve yet to see. One showed Caleb flatlining on an operating table, while another showed Cain crying at someone’s graveside.

A new fan theory has suggested that Caleb being in hospital could be down to Steph – perhaps as revenge for Anthony.

“What if Steph is the one who shoots Caleb and puts him in hospital, if he takes the bullet for Ruby?” the fan wrote on X.

Another fan replied, writing: “Yeah we saw in the flashforward that Caleb is in a hospital bed so it looks like he’ll be accidently shot by Steph. I didn’t know untill tonight that Caleb had a safe in the first place.”

A third fan had the same idea and wrote: “Steph to shoot Caleb?” While a fourth fan theorised: “Stephanie has found a gun in her dad’s safe. Does anybody remember at the beginning of the year with the flashforward scenes of Caleb is on life support and he dies?”
