Emmerdale star William Ash is currently keeping us gripped with his role in the soap, while his cousin Peter Ash (Paul Foreman) has been a Coronation Street regular for six years – but there’s more to their connection that just family relations.
The Caleb Milligan actor, 47, made his Dales debut in Christmas 2022 and he came with a secret agenda – to take Home Farm and everything else Kim Tate (Claire King) owns away from her as revenge for her part in his father Frank Tate’s death.
Since then Caleb has also embarked on a steamy affair with his nephew’s wife, Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh).
But did you know that he appeared on another rival soap when he was just 10 years old?
William starred as Spike who attended the charity fete held in the street in August 1987. Then he returned in 2002, playing Johnny James, a criminal who attempted to hijack Rita Sullivan’s (Barbara Knox) car.
And now his real-life cousin Peter is currently at the centre of a heartbreaking and emotional storyline following Paul’s motor neurone disease diagnosis.
