What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ruby’s history with her dad was exposed in upsetting scenes

Emmerdale aired devastating flashbacks for Ruby Fox-Miligan tonight as it was revealed her father had sexually abused her as a child. The worst attack came on her 16th birthday – and possibly conceived Steph.

Elsewhere, Tom tried to manipulate Jimmy, but it didn’t work, and Moira lashed out at Cain in front of everyone, before they made up. But for how long?

Here’s everything that happened in a rather difficult-to-watch Emmerdale tonight, Thursday December 12.

The truth about Ruby and her dad was revealed in Emmerdale tonight

Ruby was looking at an old photo of her 16th birthday and had a flashback. Steph noticed a boy in the picture, Rob, was looking lovingly at her, but Ruby dismissed her. However she was still having flashbacks to her birthday that were clearly distressing her.

When Anthony arrived at the house he started talking about her sweet 16 too. Ruby was clearly uncomfortable, especially as he kept banging on about this Rob. The memories of the party continued to haunt Ruby and she recalled leading Rob up to her bedroom and her dad looking angry about it.

Ruby then went to Cain’s party and insisted a bottle of wine was the only way to celebrate. She also had a clandestine conversation with Cain that was clocked by Anthony. He got abusive with Ruby telling her she slept around and he knew all about it.

As they talked about Rob again, we flashed back to Ruby giving Rob condoms and it turned out he was gay and going to meet his boyfriend. As Anthony again accused her of sleeping with Rob on her 16th birthday, Ruby spat:”We both know exactly what happened on my 16th,” leaving Anthony looking worried.

Ruby continued flashing back to that night when Anthony had got rid of her mother and took Ruby some cake up to her bedroom. He then closed and locked the door as Ruby begged him: “Please not again, please not today.”

As we came back to the present day, Steph joked about being a ’16th birthday baby’ and Caleb stressed again she was his daughter, which made it very clear Anthony is (probably) Steph’s real dad.

It was all very grim, but all credit to Beth Cordingly whose calm, but shaky performance has us all gripped.

Tom was not giving up in Emmerdale tonight

Elsewhere, from one manipulative creep to another, Tom was causing trouble again. Jimmy was trying to make Christmas magical for Angelica, who was still banging on about her cousin. A giant inflatable Santa wasn’t going to cut it.

So Jimmy decided to do as she asked and visit Tom in prison. Tom started with an apology and admitted he was struggling Although that’s probably just another act of manipulation. Tom continued to tell Jimmy horror stories of being in prison to try and scare him into helping him.

Although Jimmy agreed to visit and give Tom a second chance, it was on the basis he changed his plea to guilty. Of course, Tom continued to blame Belle and once again lost his temper calling Jimmy an idiot.

But actually, on this occasion Jimmy wasn’t an idiot, because he left and told Tom very clearly he had burnt his last bridge.

Tom turned his manipulation back to solicitor Ollie, who admitted his defence was strong, but it all comes down to his word against Belle’s. Ollie suggested they rehearse his performance in court, but Tom wasn’t interested, instead he has another plan. Sigh. It involved Ollie going to visit Angelica and getting her to help them by posting a video online.

Moira and Cain reunited

Cain was feeling remorseful, but Moira wasn’t really interested. However they were still continuing with Cain’s surprise party – for the sake of the kids.

At the party he just kept slipping up and Moira was still not forgiving. She made a massive scene in the pub in front of everyone before rushing out and Chas and Charity took Cain to task. They went on about him being the head of the family again and once more he made out he was just scared.

When he went to speak to Moira, she told him he needed to be there for her because she didn’t think their marriage could survive much more. Cain surprised her by saying he’d spoken to her consultant, made extensive notes and also put together a plan to cover the farm while she was having treatment. They reunited, but the Ruby secret is still hanging over him…

Still plotting, Will was only disappointed Peter wouldn’t move against Kim sooner (Credit: ITV)

Will showed no signs of remorse

Kim and Will returned home from Italy. Kim was deliriously in love, Will insisted he wasn’t having second thoughts about them and they planned Paris for Valentine’s Day. So lovely and happy. Except he’s still plotting against her.

Meeting with Peter later on, Will insisted he needed it all done by Christmas. However, Peter delivered the news there had been a change of plan. He told Will the mystery third party had insisted Christmas Day was the day it would all play out. The man in question (so we know it’s a man!) is out of the country until Christmas Eve. He will contact Will when the time is right.

April helped Ross

April is saving Ross. She brought him food and the key to Tall Trees behind Marlon’s back. Ross agreed to stay until new year.

Ivy appears in Emmerdale scenes leaving fans surprised over ‘forgotten’ character

Emmerdale fans were pretty surprised on Tuesday night (December 10) when baby Ivy, who had seemingly been completely forgotten about appeared on screen again. Well, was heard on screen at least!

Baby Ivy, the child Rhona Goskirk fought so hard and almost sacrificed her marriage to Marlon Dingle for, was heard crying and not only that, Rhona actually went to tend to her! Wonders never cease.

Gus is baby Ivy’s dad (Credit: ITV)

Who is Ivy in Emmerdale?

Last year, Rhonaâ€™s ex husband Gus turned up out of the blue to ask if he and his new wife Lucy could use the embryos he and Rhona froze to have a baby. Rhona was shocked as she thought they had been destroyed.

After much thought and heartache, Rhona realised she couldnâ€™t give consent for her biological child to be born and raised by someone else.

However not willing to accept defeat, Gus stole Rhonaâ€™s passport and forged her signature to get the embryos. Lucy then fell pregnant and Rhona had no idea until Marlon bumped into them at the hospital. Rhona was devastated and conflicted over what to do.

Sadly when she confronted them both as they tried to flee, Lucy went into premature labour and died during childbirth. Rhona then wanted custody of Ivy herself.

However despite the fact Rhona was the biological mother of the baby, she had no legal rights. A battle followed and Rhona kidnapped Ivy. She was found not guilty in court, but Gus was eventually sent to prison for eight years for fraud.

Rhona and Marlon are now raising the baby together – not that you’d know it as she’s never seen or talked about!

Fans react to Ivy’s reappearance

Last night, Rhona and Marlon were trying to deal with April’s teenage strop when Ivy started crying in the background. Marlon said he would tend to the baby, but Rhona insisted she would go.

Those watching at home had quite the reaction to hearing Ivy and that Rhona and Marlon remembered they had her!

“Is that Ivy I can hear in the background? Have they let her out of the cupboard that her and Esther have been held hostage in?” joked one.

Another added: “Marlon and Rhona have finally returned home and remembered they left Ivy upstairs!”

“Where’s Ivy been? All that fuss Rhona made and she’s hardly seen,” said a third.

A fourth admitted: “I’d completely forgotten about Ivy!”

“There’s Ivy. The invisible baby,” laughed someone else.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Moira told Cain not to come home after he was arrested

Emmerdale tonight saw Cain let Moira down as he continued to wallow in his own guilt. And Moira got more bad news from her consultant.

Meanwhile, April was still not in a forgiving mood and Ross made things worse, and Anthony was on the warpath.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday December 10.

Cain just made everything worse when he was arrested (Credit: ITV)

Cain let Moira down in Emmerdale tonight

Moira was waiting (impatiently) for Cain at the hospital with Matty by her side. Moira insisted Cain would be there and sent Matty back to the farm. But back in the village, Cain had no intention of going and was stomping around the garage.

Liam caught him and tried to talk some sense into his friend. Cain fed him some nonsense about being scared, but Liam told him to stop being a coward. At last Cain realised he had to get there, especially when Moira left him a tearful voice message saying she was scared and the consultant couldn’t wait any longer to see her.

Cain rushed off – smashing Jai’s car on his way as it was blocking him in – and then he was pulled over by the police. PC Swirling told him Jai had complained and as Cain got shirty, he was arrested for criminal damage and assaulting a police officer. Oh Cain.

In his cell Cain was banging and shouting, begging to talk to Moira. PC Swirling gave Cain some sympathy and did eventually let him use a mobile phone. Cain confessed what had happened and Moira was upset and angry – she shouted she was fine and he wasn’t welcome back home.

She then tearfully confessed to Matty she had to have radiotherapy because they think there’s a chance it can come back. Cain has really mess up this time, but can he ever make this up to her?

April on a downward spiral

Marlon and Rhona were trying to make things right with April, but she was not having any of it. She immediately went to see Ross and it came out that Marlon, Caleb, Charity and Jai had tried to set Ross up. That obviously made April even angrier.

And there was Mack making more snidey comments when he should really just shut up.

Marlon once again tried to talk to April about everything. He insisted he just was trying to protect his daughter and it had been wrong trying to set Ross up. April soon brushed him away and half-heartedly forgave him. But does she really mean it?

Nope! Because she grabbed a bottle of vodka and went to Donna’s grave where she angrily let rip at her mum. Ross found her and tried to talk her down.

Later Ross saw Mack and Moses together and realised what a close bond they have. It upset him and he hit the vodka he’d confiscated off April.

Anthony laid into Caleb – who threatened to knock his teeth out (Credit: ITV)

Ruby shocked Anthony

Anthony summoned Caleb over and wanted answers over his affair with Tracy. Caleb was not interested in listening to any of Anthony’s questions and threatened him with violence.

Anthony soon told Ruby what Caleb had said – and that he knew about Tracy. Ruby shot her father’s concerns down and insisted her marriage was fine. He begged her to leave Caleb, but she silenced him by telling him she also slept around.

Jimmy laid down the law

Jimmy read Tom’s letter and Angelica was hopeful her dad would support Tom now. But Jimmy tore it up, told Angel it was all manipulation and she was not to go near or contact Tom ever again. She stropped off. And we guess she probably will go near Tom again before the week is out…

Emmerdale spoilers: Marlon reaches breaking point over April as she turns to drugs to cope

In Emmerdale spoilers for Christmas week, youngster April Windsor spirals out of control.

The teenager was left shaken last week after she was abducted by menacing Jade, over cash she thought Ross Barton had stolen.

As leverage, Jade dragged April to a location that was terribly familiar to Ross: a multi-storey car park where April’s mum and his ex, Donna, died in 2014.

And Emmerdale spoilers for later this month reveal that things are set to take a more dramatic turn for Aprilâ€¦

April’s behaviour is worrying everyone (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale spoilers: April spirals

Last week saw April’s life hang in the balance.Â Rushing to the rescue, Ross managed to avert disaster â€“ although this was more thanks to the arrival of Aaron and Mack, with Jade’s money.

Saved by Ross, April and Ross then headed back to the village. However, there was worse to come as she learned about the tragic circumstances behind mum Donna’s death.

Understandably, April was shaken to learn that her mother had taken her own life at that very same car park.

And fans will see another side to April later this month, as she struggles to come to terms with the past few weeks.

April turns to drugs

In Emmerdale spoilers for the week of Christmas, Marlon and April’s relationship is on a knife’s edge as April continues to push boundaries.

Things take a dramatic turn though when Marlon realises his daughter has been trying to buy cannabis. Marlon confronts April but she soon spirals.

And as Christmas day arrives in the famous Dales, Marlon is in for a shockâ€¦

It’s not long before he’s forced to ask Ross for help, but they soon find themselves in danger. Will they be okay? And can they help April make sense of everything?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph’s real dad was ‘exposed’ and Ross is public enemy No.1

Emmerdale tonight saw Anthony reveal ‘the truth’ about Steph’s dad – flooring Ruby. But is he right?

Meanwhile, Ross made enemies of everyone in the village, who decided it was high time something was done about him.

Here’s a rundown of Emmerdale tonight, Friday December 6.

Anthony’s claim left Ruby reeling (Credit: ITV)

Anthony dropped a bombshell about Steph’s real dad in Emmerdale tonight

Anthony was checking out of the B&B – for definite, he assured Bob. But Ruby stopped him and told him although she wouldn’t forgive him, said he could stay.

Steph invited him for dinner and Ruby was forced to pretend everything was fine. But it’s absolutely not and we can’t understand why no one else can see that!

Meanwhile Ross was having a bad day (more on that below) and had decided to drown his sorrows with Steph. Caleb then went out to get brandy, meaning Ruby and Anthony were left alone.

At that point Anthony’s demeanour changed and he started asking questions about Rob – and dropped the bombshell he always believed Rob was Steph’s real father. So is this mystery man really the dad? Ruby looked shocked, but is Anthony right? And is her fear because she’s worried her dad will expose her to Caleb?

No one wanted Ross in the village in Emmerdale tonight

Ross kicked out

Cain had had enough and threw Ross out – literally – after what he’d done to Mackenzie.

Meanwhile, Mack was feeling sorry for himself, but Charity refused to give him sympathy. Ross then burst in and wanted to see Moses, but Charity threw him out too. She later even threatened Ross with social services.

April couldn’t hide her devastation from Marlon (Credit: ITV)

April furious at Marlon

Elsewhere, April was still upset and Marlon wanted to get to the bottom of it. April confided in Arthur that she feels like her mum didn’t love her and she has lost Donna all over again. Arthur advised her to tell her dad the truth.

When Marlon got home, he found April upset again – and skipping school again. April confessed what she had learned about Donna. But Marlon slipped up when April realised he had always known the truth.

With April raging at her dad for lying to her, Marlon turned his blame to Ross. He wants him gone…

A plan to rid Emmerdale of Ross

So Ross has now upset half the village and Charity, Marlon and Caleb came together to do something about him. But what will the three of them do to get rid of him for good?

Cain was relieved Moira was home, but also struggling with his conscience (Credit: ITV)

Moira returned in Emmerdale tonight

Cain was still not coping when Moira strolled in as if she’d been on holiday rather than in hospital having brain surgery. She was looking pretty radiant and there was not a hair out of place on her head!

She later recounted everything to Cain that had happened with Holly during the operation and tearfully told him she had chosen him and the boys. But Cain couldn’t contain his own guilt in the moment – although he covered with Moira that it was his grief over Zak.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Brenda will not forgive Eric and told him her decision was final.

And, Mary’s back! At last. Goodness knows where she’s been, but she is back and was every bit as fierce as ever when she backed Charity in the Woolpack and stood up to scary Ross Barton. Love her. More Mary please.

Donna flashback scenes leave fans feeling very emotional: ‘So heartbreaking’

Emmerdale aired old footage last night as Ross Barton had triggering flashbacks to when his lover Donna Windsor died. As he battled to save April from Jade and her henchmen, Ross had to fight his haunting past.

Fans found the old episodes interwoven with the new one very emotional. They felt they were reliving Donna’s death all over again.

April was heartbroken by the truth (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale last night

Jade proved to Ross she meant business about getting her Â£10k back on Thursday December 5 when she kidnapped April Windsor. She and her henchpeople drove April to the Hotten multistory carpark (where no one was parked, conveniently) and told Ross to get there fast – and alone.

He hijacked Billy’s car and raced to the carpark. But once there he realised exactly the significance of the venue: it was where Donna had died in 2014. As the soap aired footage from the event, Ross struggled to compose himself over April’s screams. She was being dangled over the edge of the roof and would only be brought to safety when Jade got her cash.

Fortunately, Mackenzie had come to his senses. He arrived with Aaron in the nick of time to hand back the money. Well, the seven grand that was left, at least. Although April was saved, Jade still wants her last Â£3k.

Ross then took April home and a throwaway comment led April to find out the truth about her mum’s death. She had only been five years old at the time, so had been shielded from it by Ross and her dad, Marlon.

Donna’s death was relieved again (Credit: ITV)

How did Donna die in Emmerdale?

Donna had terminal lung cancer. She knew she didn’t have much longer left to live, so she got involved in criminal activity, alongside then-lover Ross. It was all to raise money to make sure her daughter was cared for after she’d gone.

But when she got involved with crime lord Gary North things went very wrong. Donna had tried to set Gary up on drugs charges, but he caught her and threatened April unless she retrieved some explicit photos for him.

Things turned bad and Donna and Gary ended up in a stand-off on the rooftop. She held her gun at him, but he promised to make April the subject of one of his photos if she shot. Donna then handcuffed herself to Gary and jumped over the roof.

Telling Ross she loved him, Donna knew she was going to die anyway and that taking Gary with her was the only way to keep April – and other young girls – safe. She then took her own life.

Fans heartbroken as they rewatch Donna scenes in Emmerdale

As the soap showed the scenes of Donna’s demise again, those watching at home were even more upset second time around.

“Verity Rushworth still so missed,” said one on social media with crying emojis.

Another added: “Brought memories back watching the Donna scene. Felt quite emotional! Brilliant acting from Amelia!”

“This episode in 2014 was so heartbreaking so to bring it all back was emotional but it was a brilliant episode,” agreed a third.

A fourth wrote: “Made me ever SO anxious watching a clip of Donna really LOVED her character and can’t believe you killed her off.”

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: April found out the truth about her mum’s death and there was a sad break-up

In Emmerdale tonight there was devastation for April after she was kidnapped, held over the roof of a multistory carpark and then found out the truth about her mum’s death.

Also, Ruby was faced with an impossible choice, and Brenda realised she had no future with Eric.

Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday December 5.

Things got really bad for Ross and April

Jade made herself very clear to Ross (Credit: ITV)

April was kidnapped

Marlon wouldn’t let April go into Hotten after school shopping. Lucky, then, that Jade pulled up to provide a lift to school and a friendly listening ear.

Jade then called Ross with a video of April tied up in the boot of the car. Ross sped off in Billy’s car who warned him he couldn’t go anywhere without a plan. Billy caught up with Mack and Aaron and told them what was going on and Mack came to his senses and realised exactly what his actions have caused.

Ross was frozen as memories of Donna came back (Credit: ITV)

Memories of Donna haunted Ross

As Ross arrived at the multistory carpark where Donna died when she jumped over the edge while handcuffed to a criminal, Jade told Ross she had specifically picked the spot because of Donna and he had horrific flashbacks.

April screamed as she was held over the edge by Jade’s henchman. But Ross was frozen to the spot.

Coming to, Ross tried to talk Jade round, but she was clear: the money in exchange for April’s life.

And then along came Aaron and Mackenzie who saved the day by giving Jade her money back. Well, Â£7000 and change. Which obviously isn’t the Â£10k she wanted and she still wants Ross to pay it back. Jade is going away for a few days, but wants her Â£3k.

April was okay, but then she got more devastating news (Credit: ITV)

April found out the truth about her mum

Ross took April and left, but he made the mistake of saying he wasn’t going to let it happen again. April immediately picked up on it and confronted him.

He confessed he had been there when Donna died. He then told April her mum had jumped over the wall and April was devastated. She knew Donna could have stayed with her for longer, but she sacrificed their time together to catch a criminal.

At home Marlon tried to get through to April, who was sobbing, but she didn’t tell him what was really wrong.

Meanwhile, Ross gave Mackenzie a beating. And when Charity stepped in, he pushed her over too. And then Ross ended up being the bad guy when Moses was watching and begged his dad to stop. Charity told Ross he would never see his son again.

Caleb wants Steph to stay, but Ruby can’t have Anthony around (Credit: ITV)

Ruby given a choice in Emmerdale tonight

Ruby was still trying to tell Caleb how distressed she is by her dad’s presence. She begged him to stand by her side and understand what she needs. Caleb promised he would. He then confronted Anthony in the street and told him he would always back Ruby, so Anthony decided to leave again. Only Steph caught him and stopped him. She decided to go with him and he promised to stay one more night so she could pack up.

Meanwhile Caleb realised that Anthony’s departure would affect their relationship with Steph. So he tried to talk to Ruby again. And she cracked open another bottle of wine. As she ranted about how much she hated her father and she didn’t care if he died, Steph walked in and told her they would never see her again if they cut Anthony out.

Caleb was furious that Ruby was ‘choosing’ to let Steph walk out of their lives. Ruby insisted she wasn’t choosing, this was not a choice, she couldn’t have her dad in her life. And Caleb still clearly couldn’t see how distressed she was and told her she had to accept Anthony so they could keep Steph. Here’s an idea, Caleb, trying realising your wife is going through something huge rather than shouting at her.

A break-up for Eric and Brenda in Emmerdale tonight

Eric and Brenda were very awkward with each other, but he thought flowers would make it up to her. She was not impressed given they didn’t have money for flowers.

He then set up Champagne and a huge food spread in the shop and invited Brenda over. Eric got down on knee again and promised he wasn’t being impulsive, he genuinely wanted her to marry him.

Liam walked in mid-proposal to get some milk and the situation became very uncomfortable. Once Liam had gone, Brenda tearfully told him her answer was no.

Brenda said she needed to find out who she was again. She then ended their relationship because too much has happened. Is there any way back for them?

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Angelica is firmly Team Tom (Credit: ITV)

Angelica fought Tom’s corner

Tom sent Jimmy a letter, who put it in the bin much to Angelica’s disgust. Jimmy and Nicola tried to talk some sense into her, but Angelica continued to fight Tom’s corner insisting Tom is still family.

Angelica seemed to think Tom wasn’t as bad as her because she killed someone and he never killed Belle. Can her parents make her see sense?

Jai was unsuccessful at manifesting success

Jai was listening to success podcasts and manifesting ‘success’ for himself. But he found Ross lurking in the office having overheard him. Ross wanted to do another van theft. But Jai – with success clearly in mind – said no.

Robert return on Christmas Day speculated

After show boss Iain Macleod said in an interview with Digital Spy back in September: “This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day,” many fans have speculated it’s the return of Robert Sugden.

Currently serving time in prison for killing sister Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner, Robert was Aaron’s one true love. They weathered many a storm together, but Rob let Aaron go when he was sent down.

Aaron has proved he’s not quite forgotten Robert – as displayed when he found out Rebecca had died and left Robert’s son, who Aaron doted on, without a mother. John picked up on his residual feelings for Robert and it made things awkward.

But after actually talking about it, they decided to move on and move forward together. This declaration of love is the next stage in that. But could Robert return and mess everything up again? Who knows, but it’s certainly what the fans want!
