Biography

Caleb Miligan was born on 30th April 1976 and was the product of a fling between Frank Tate and Faith Dingle, both of whom come from two families who have grown to resent each other over the years; the Tates and the Dingles.

In 1991, Caleb got acquainted with his half-brother Cain Dingle and the pair started doing criminal jobs together until the police caught up with them; Cain took the rap to spare Caleb from a prison sentence, but then afterwards they ceased contact with each other.

Over three decades later on Christmas Day 2022, Caleb visits Cain in prison and confronts him over killing his adversary Al Chapman for sleeping with their half-sister Chas Dingle. It soon turns out that Cain's son, Kyle, is actually the one who killed Al months ago and that Cain is taking the rap for his son's involvement.
