As Steph finds out Anthony paternity truth in Emmerdale, Georgia Jay teases whatâ€™s to come next

Steph Miligan in Emmerdale knows the truth about her grandfather, Anthony Fox. She knows what he did, why he is missing and who he really is. And it’s about time too.

But now we can expect the fallout. We have been waiting for this moment for a long time and it’s fair to stay Steph has been getting on viewers’ nerves.

However, Georgia Jay’s performance in tonight’s episode (Thursday March 13) was brilliant. Her raw, gutteral reaction felt true and we finally saw the scales fall from Steph’s eyes.

So what is to come now the truth is out there?

Steph finds out everything in Emmerdale

After weeks of fruitless searching for her missing grandad, Steph found a gun earlier this week. She linked it to her dad and that to Anthony’s disappearance and decided to go to the police.

Realising he was backed into a corner and still determined to protect Ruby, Caleb confessed he had murdered Anthony. Steph told him to hand himself in and he agreed, heading off alone and leaving a distraught Ruby behind.

Ruby soon saw she had no other option and told Steph the truth about the abuse. She also confirmed Caleb had not killed Anthony, but that she had.

Although Ruby tried to keep Steph’s paternity a secret, Steph soon worked out the sickening truth.

As they raced to stop Caleb reporting himself to the police, fortunately there were a lot of criminals at the station so Caleb was still waiting, they managed to catch him just in time and take him home.

And now everyone knows – so what does the future hold for the Fox-Miligan family?

Georgia Jay speaks out

Actress Georgia Jay, who plays Steph, revealed in an interview with The Mirror earlier this year how Steph feels when the truth is exposed to her.

“She feels betrayed, ashamed, angry and, at the same time, just in total despair for herself and her mother,” Georgia confessed. “She’s carrying the weight of her mother’s pain and trauma. It’s going to be a really rocky road for Steph in terms of this whole identity being shattered.”

However, she also added: “I see this as the making of a true family because it’s all been built on a foundation of lies. It’ll be a long road but I do think they’ll build a family that’s really, really strong and built on trust.”

Can Caleb keep Jai away from the truth? (Credit: ITV)

What happens next week for Steph in Emmerdale?

Reeling from her discovery, Steph is acting on edge. She and Caleb return to work, but Jai is irritated that neither are pulling their weight.

Jai wants to bring them down a peg or two and thinks they are hiding something (not like him to be so astute!) Jai then mentions Anthony and seeing how uneasy Caleb is, realises he’s hit the nail on the head.

Will Jai work out the truth?

Emmerdale spoilers: ITVX early release confirms harrowing scenes as two secrets are revealed

*Warning: Emmerdale spoilers follow from the Thursday March 13 episode, which is available now on ITVX, but has not yet aired on ITV*

Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale confirms that two secrets, which have been bubbling away, are finally out. The episode, which is available to watch on ITVX, has revealed the lives of two families will be completely changed forever following the shocking revelations.

Yes, it is finally time for Steph Miligan to discover the truth about her grandfather. Meanwhile, Vanessa Woodfield’s digging into Suzy’s mystery woman brings her answers she never wanted.

Emmerdale spoilers for tonight – Steph discovers the truth

For weeks Steph has been perfecting her ‘where for art thou, Grandad’ routine, whimpering on and on and on. Frankly, if we’d heard the word grandad one more time we’d have told her ourselves, but thankfully it hasn’t come to that.

This week has seen Steph really ramp up her search. She even tricked her dad by saying Anthony had called her and he was fine just to see Caleb’s reaction. But Caleb was one step ahead, didn’t react and merely told Ross to stop Steph’s obsession.

Ross didn’t manage it though and on Tuesday night (March 11) Steph discovered a gun in Caleb’s secret safe. She instantly decided the gun was used on Anthony to kill him. But Caleb and Ruby came up with a story to throw her off the scent: the gun was meant for Cain.

Unconvinced, Steph rushed to Cain’s place where he confirmed the exact same details Caleb had told her. It’s almost like it was the truth – except we then found out Caleb had got to Cain first and made him play along.

But such a finely tuned story made Steph even more suspicious. With the bit between her teeth, she announced to Ross she was going to the police. She firmly believes if her parents were involved in Anthony’s disappearance they should “get what’s coming”.

Ross ran to tell Caleb in Thursday’s episode and it left Caleb and Ruby with little option left. After Caleb makes a dramatic decision, Ruby became desperate to stop her husband from doing something stupid.

At last, Steph found out everything about her grandfather’s abuse and her true parentage and his death. But how will she cope? Will she still shop her parents?

The truth settled in for Vanessa (Credit: ITV)

Vanessa made a discovery

As the Miligans were having their family torn apart, Vanessa was also a woman on a mission. She was determined to find out who Suzy kissed.

Earlier this week Vanessa found incriminating message on Suzy’s phone. They revealed she had kissed someone else, was having doubts about Vanessa and was planning to end things. Given Vanessa was planning to propose, she has been left heartbroken to have got things so wrong.

Determined the only way she can get closure is to find out who the other woman was, Vanessa hits a dead end. Until she finds a clue at her house and immediately connects it to Mary.

In disbelief, Vanessa storms round to confront the woman who has been her rock since Suzy’s death. Will Mary deny it? Or come clean? And how will Vanessa take the news?

Emmerdale in 2006

2006 was a big year in Emmerdale and we have already made it to October. Huge storylines that have already aired this year include the tragic death of Alice Dingle. After being diagnosed with cancer while pregnant, Alice took the devastating decision to delay treatment until after having her baby. This proved fatal when Alice could no longer be saved. She ended up asking husband Sam to help her take her own life to end her suffering on her terms.

Meanwhile, 2006 saw the exit of Cain Dingle. After becoming embroiled in a kidnap plot that saw him take Sadie and Tom King hostage, Cain appeared to kill Sadie.

However it turned out she was in on it and they were doing it for money. Cain got the last laugh though when he double-crossed Sadie and took the money, leaving the village alone.

Schedule changes coming up for the soap ‘power hour’ in 2026

ITV has announced new Emmerdale schedule for 2026 – with the introduction of what is being called a soap ‘power hour’ starting from next January.

Emmerdale will continue to air five nights a week. New episodes will also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual – meaning we don’t have to wait all day if we don’t want to!

However, the soap will move to a new time slot of 8pm. The Thursday double bill will also be cut to half an hour to make way for additional episodes of Coronation Street.

This ensures faster-paced, digestible episodes – a 30-minute format which has already proven popular with viewers.

Steph is going to the police – so will Caleb and Ruby ‘get what’s coming’ in Emmerdale?

Steph Miligan is like a dog with a bone in Emmerdale at the moment as she refuses to believe any explanation over her grandad’s whereabouts. Tonight (Wednesday March 12) she decided to go to the police to get them to investigate her mum and dad.

So, is it all over for the Anthony murder club?

Steph wanted answers and still didn’t get honest ones (Credit: ITV)

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph vowed to report her parents

Let’s back up a bit. Steph has been leading a one-woman search party for her grandad, Anthony Fox, since he went missing earlier this year. Viewers know Anthony is dead and buried in the woods. Caleb, Ruby, Aaron, John, Cain, Chas and Moira also know this. But Steph doesn’t and she suspects they all know more than they’re letting on.

To be fair, she’s right, so it’s no wonder she’s not giving up. And after she discovered Caleb’s gun last night (Tuesday March 11) she was sure it had something to do with Anthony’s disappearance (talk about putting two and two together).

Caleb insisted it was to kill Cain with. Steph confirmed the story with her uncle, and fortunately Caleb had got to Cain first and he backed it up.

But stubborn Steph STILL didn’t believe them all. She declared to Ross she was going to report her parents to the police so they could: “get what’s coming”.

And what is coming, exactly?

Caleb is determined to protect Ruby (Credit: ITV)

Do Ruby and Caleb get arrested in Emmerdale?

The pressure is certainly on Caleb and Ruby tomorrow night. Ross hotfoots it to the Depot to warn Caleb what Steph is planning. Caleb goes into full crisis mode determined to stop Steph once and for all.

Actress Georgia Jay has revealed Steph will continue to hunt for the truth. “So I think it’s one of those things where she doesn’t know what else to do, or who she can trust. It’s all closing in on her because she’s thinking who’s involved, who’s lying, who’s not, who’s covering up.”

Steph is going to find out the truth very soon – it’s the only way Ruby and Caleb can stay out of prison. And the truth will shatter Steph completely.

Next week, spoilers reveal Steph and Caleb are on edge at work. It suggests Caleb has not been arrested, but does Steph now know the truth?

And there’s more trouble round the corner when Jai thinks they are not pulling their weight at the Depot. A simple mention of Anthony also makes things uneasy and Jai’s got the bit between his teeth now as he resolves to get to the truth.

Will he find out before Steph? Or will Caleb shut him down too?

The week ahead in Emmerdale – the biggest plots in next week’s spoilers including Steph’s devastating discovery

Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers are looking pretty exciting, with one particular storyline that we’ve been waiting a loooong time for. It looks like Steph will finally find out what her grandad was truly like – and we hope she has a big apology for her mum at the ready.

Also next week, Marlon makes a terrible mistake as he desperately tries to protect April – and gets it really wrong again.

Here’s our pick of the biggest plots to look out for in next week’s Emmerdale spoilers.

How will Caleb and Ruby explain this one? (Credit: ITV)

1. Steph’s devastating discovery

After weeks of wailing round the village shouting ‘grandad’ over and over, Steph is no closer to finding him next week. But then she takes a call from a friend of Anthony’s who explains they were expecting the old man for a visit and he hasn’t shown up.

With Ruby still behaving erratically as well, that’s all it takes to put Steph back on the case. She heads to Caleb’s office to look for a clue, but Caleb catches her. Steph is sure her parents know something about Anthony’s disappearance – well she’s not wrong on that one!

With Caleb begging Ross to get Steph to back off, it has the opposite effect, especially when she discovers the gun. Knowing it had to be involved, Steph doesn’t buy it when Caleb tells her he got the weapon to kill Cain. Will Cain back up his brother’s story, though?

Ruby is overwhelmed as she tries to cope and as Caleb tries to comfort her, they are thrown when Ross delivers more bad news: Steph is reporting them to the police.

There’s only one way to stop her: the truth. The truth will hurt, but will Caleb and Ruby use it to save their skin? And will we finally stop hearing Steph screeching ‘grandad’ every five minutes?

Marlon has been a complete idiot, but can he put it right? (Credit: ITV)

2. Marlon seriously messes up in Emmerdale spoilers

Things kick off when Rhona discovers ketamine is missing from the vets. All the fingers immediately point at Dylan. He denies it, but the drugs are found in his coat pocket.

With April crushed by his betrayal, Dylan leaves. But it turns out he was telling the truth when Marlon confesses to Rhona he took the ketamine and framed Dylan.

News soon reaches them that Dylan has overdosed and Marlon feels awful. So he should.

Rhona encourages him not to be honest with April otherwise their relationship will never recover. But seeing Dylan so ill in hospital, Marlon confesses to him what he did. He begs for forgiveness and graciously Dylan doesn’t want to upset April by revealing the truth about her dad.

It probably helps that Marlon offers to pay for Dylan to go to rehab. But just before he goes, Dylan wants to talk to April with something to tell her. Marlon is terrified his secret will come out, but will Dylan be so cruel?

3. Baby tragedy for Sarah

Sarah wants to keep her baby, whether Jacob is involved or not. Supportive Charity takes her to see Manpreet at the surgery – given Sarah’s life-limiting condition, they want to make sure they are taking all the care they can do.

Manpreet does another test to check and the results are heartbreaking: Sarah isn’t pregnant. Given she has a shortened life expectancy, Sarah is devastated; she thinks she’s missed her only chance to become a mum. Is she right?

4. Manpreet is the prescription Billy needs in Emmerdale spoilers

After we discovered Manpreet was being blackmailed over sexy photos she’s put online, she is still on edge.

Over at Home Farm, Billy is feeling neglected and rejected by Dawn. He decides to get a little comfort elsewhere and soon logs on, trying to view Manpreet’s profile.

With Dawn’s head still turned by Joe, Kim is horrified when Dawn confesses her feelings for Joe are going nowhere.

So are they both set to play away as Billy looks to Manpreet and Dawn carries on with Joe?

Tracy has been stealing, but does Pollard know? (Credit: ITV)

5. Also in Emmerdale spoilers next week…

April’s baby is given a funeral, but April refuses to attend. Marlon and Rhona want her to scatter Rebecca’s ashes, but will April agree to do so?

Elsewhere, Pollard asks Tracy to come to the Woolpack for a chat. She is filled with dread, sure he must know her secret. But does he?

From Moira’s U-turn to funeral madness: 6 things that didn’t make sense in Emmerdale this week

It’s been another emotional week in Emmerdale this week, but some things just didn’t make sense to us.

Moira made a huge, lightning speed decision over Cain. No one turned up to Leyla’s funeral and Amy loved animals. Apparently.

Here are the things that left us scratching our heads in Emmerdale this week.

Things that didn’t make sense in Emmerdale this week

Moira seduced Cain with talk of chicken burgers and it was all very sudden (Credit: ITV)

1. Moira’s U-turn over Cain

On Monday (March 3) Moira tearfully told Cain they couldn’t make it work and he needed to move out. Their marriage was over. On Tuesday (March 4) she insisted they tell Kyle and Isaac they were splitting up.

But then Ruby sat her down for a cuppa and told her some home truths: Moira is not that innocent having slept with Nate. And also that she and Cain were meant to be together and she shouldn’t throw that away.

When Cain arrived to meet with the boys and tell them, Moira was still adamant they were going through with it.

Then suddenly she started talking about chicken burgers and how she didn’t want to freeze one in a pack of four. Cain was confused, and so were we, until she spelt out she wanted them to try again. And the pair kissed passionately.

Now, while we are thrilled the two are back together as a Coira split was NOT what we wanted, this seemed very sudden about-turn. Literally in the space of about 10 seconds. And to be so passionate so quickly? Something didn’t feel right…

Is she playing him for revenge? Could there be something else about to knock at Moira’s door – did she have something to do with Nate’s death? Or have we just been watching soaps too long and are always expecting too many twists?!

Funeral madness in Emmerdale this week

2. Where were Leyla’s family?

Now we know David hates Jacob for sleeping with Victoria and we know Alicia lives in Portugal, but them not returning for Leyla’s funeral was ridiculous.

Broken leg or not, Alicia could have got on a plane and been then to support the boy she brought up as her son for years. And David could have popped up from London for a day whether Theo was ill or not. It’s really done Leyla dirty following her devastating death.

Villagers were forced to choose whose funeral to attend (Credit: ITV)

3. Why were the funerals on the same day?!

Two popular village women, with lots of connections to other residents, so why oh why oh why were Amy and Leyla’s funerals on the same day at the same time?!

It was particularly odd for Eric Pollard not to attend Amy’s funeral – the girl he adopted with late wife Val, and gave away at her wedding to Matty. Instead he went to Leyla’s funeral to support Jacob as he saw Leyla as a surrogate daughter.

It was a lose lose for Pollard, really, so why didn’t they hold the funerals days or even just hours apart?

Matty held Amy’s funeral in the woods because she loved animals and nature (Credit: ITV)

4. Since when did Amy love animals?

We know Amy was a carefree spirit, but we had no idea about her intense love for animals. Nor that that was why animals, namely Chip the dog, were invited to her funeral. You learn something new about dead characters every day.

April and Marlon in Emmerdale this week

5. April claiming she was homeless

Bit of a pinickity one this, but April keeps saying she was homeless. She technically wasn’t, she ran away. There is a difference, because she did have a loving, safe home to go to. She chose not to.

And for that matter, was her life with Marlon and Rhona really so awful, living in a squat was better? We keep wondering if there is another flashback incoming because we really can’t see what was so terrible…

What else happened in Emmerdale this week?

6. How is everyone so flush?

Victoria bought two bottles of wine for Â£15. She gave Tracy a Â£20 note and told her to stick the change in the charity box. That’s not just a few pennies, that’s Â£5! Nice of her to give that to charity, for sure, but just months ago she was destitute, so how can she afford it now?
