Caleb Milligan (played by Will Ash) has not been associated with a romantic partner since he made his Emmerdale debut in December. However, ITV soap spoilers have teased a possible connection between him and Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) in upcoming scenes.
Caleb offers Leyla some advice as she remains terrified of dangerous drug dealer Callum (Tom Ashley) this week.
Leyla tried to bring down the drug dealer by recording footage of him dealing illegal substances to users.
Her plan was to hand over the footage to the police but no further action was taken as the video was not conclusive.
Callum reacted by threatening Leyla and her family, including her son Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant).

However, it drastically backfired when he realised what she was up to and he smacked her around the head with a brick, leaving her unconscious.
Suzy was left lying lifeless in the dark at the end of Monday's episode.
Later in the week, Leyla is disgusted to find out Callum avoids punishment yet again as his mother has given him a false alibi for the time of Suzy's brutal attack.
Luckily, Suzy regains consciousness but she fears Callum will come back to finish her off.
Leyla starts getting threatening text messages from Callum and is concerned Suzy might be right.
As Leyla breaks down in tears in the village graveyard, Caleb approaches her to see if she needs any support.
Caleb gives Leyla some advice and encourages her to play to win against the drug dealer.

Could there be a spark between Caleb and Leyla they want to explore further?
The pair are both single and Caleb might be the streetwise and confident person who can bring out the best in Leyla.
Roxy, who plays Leyla, told Digital Spy: "It's their first meeting and he shares some words of Caleb wisdom with her."
She said their conversation drives Leyla to make an impulsive decision.
When asked if romance could be on the cards for Leyla and Caleb, Roxy said: "I think there's a spark between Leyla and any potential suitor ever! So I'm going to say yes."
Will the pair be spending more time together in upcoming scenes on the ITV soap?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and streams on ITVX.
