A ''Heart'' reporter called Caleb "a very mysterious new character". The character departs in episode 6238, originally broadcast on 16 March 2021.

Caleb arrives in Walford to meet Chelsea, having spoken previously on the phone about a "job" in which Cheslea is using Lucas as a "courier". Caleb comments to Chelsea that her clothes appear expensive so she clearly knows how to spend the money she took from him. She insists he will get it back and he says to make sure nothing goes wrong, making a veiled threat towards her. Provided by Wikipedia
