Emmerdale's Caleb interferes in Kyle custody drama

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale newcomer Caleb Miligan stays loyal to his brother Cain tonight (March 6) as the Kyle Winchester custody drama continues.

Kyle's mum Amy Wyatt recently vowed to secure sole custody of her young son, who has just had his freedom confirmed as Al Chapman's death has been ruled as a tragic accident.

Amy had been keeping quiet about her intentions, but the truth came out when her fiancé Matty Barton tipped off his mum Moira about what was going on. Moira then told her husband Cain, who was furious to learn that he could lose his son.

In Monday's episode, Matty is pleased when he manages to get back on better terms with Amy again.

What to Read Next

Amy forgives Matty for spilling the beans about her secret plan. She also reassures Matty that their engagement is all about her love for him, rather than just a ploy to secure custody of Kyle.

Matty promises to support Amy through the inevitable tensions ahead with Cain.

This gives Amy a much-needed boost, but she feels insecure again when Caleb intervenes.

Caleb is backing Cain on this one – and could once again prove to be a useful ally due to his links with a powerful firm of solicitors.

Matty reassures Amy after her encounter with Caleb, but will Amy start to have second thoughts about her plan?

Natalie Ann Jamieson, who plays Amy, recently spoke to Digital Spy about her character's motivations in the custody plot.

She told us: "I do back Amy because when she's going for sole custody, it's not that she wants Kyle to stop seeing Cain altogether. She just wants to flip the current situation. Up until recently, Kyle has been living with Cain and Moira, while Amy had him for the odd night.

"Now Amy wants Kyle to live under her roof, but Cain and Moira can still see him and take him out.

"I think that's fair. Since Kyle has just shot a man, I think it's worth a bash! I can see why Amy would want this. I'm sure anyone who was in this situation in real life would do a similar thing. So I can definitely back Amy and see that she wants to protect Kyle."

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