Emmerdale Steph actress Georgia Jay related to on-screen mum Ruby in real-life? We have answers

Emmerdale stars Beth Cordingly and Georgia Jay have certainly got fans talking as mum and daughter Ruby and Steph Miligan – but are they related in real-life?

With the pair sharing more and more scenes together as Steph finds out the truth about her parentage and Ruby’s abuse, fans can’t help but focus on one thing: how alike they both are.

So is this just a case of excellent casting on the part of Emmerdale? Or are Georgia and Beth related in real life? We have the answers you’ve been looking for.

Steph’s time in Emmerdale

Ruby and Caleb’s estranged daughter Steph turned up in the village in November last year. She was there for her inheritance from her grandmother and then she was gone for good. Caleb was desperate for her to stay, but it was very clear there was a whole lot of family history to unpack here. And, she was absolutely not over her messy childhood.

When Ruby and Steph then reunited, things were tense. Ruby ended up slapping Steph as things got heated. They managed to make up and Steph agreed to stick around – on the proviso her grandad – Ruby’s estranged father – could stay too.

Ruby was forced to agree, despite it being obvious there was something awful between her and her dad. No one noticed, everyone thought Ruby was sour after Anthony had kicked her out for getting pregnant at 16.

But viewers were sure there was more to it. We eventually had our suspicions confirmed when it was revealed Anthony had sexually abused Ruby. Things got even sicker when we then discovered Anthony and not Caleb was Steph’s biological father.

Anthony dead in Emmerdale

With Ruby unable to tell her secret torment to anyone, it did all come crashing out when Caleb found the paternity test results and demanded answers.

Soon enough Chas had worked out the truth and Aaron also saw it. Anthony was confronted by several locals, but eventually Aaron lost his temper and beat him to a pulp. He and John later went back and found Anthony was dead.

As John set about doing an expert clean-up, what was then revealed was that in fact Ruby had found her dad alive and finished him off. The Anthony murder club, consisting of Ruby, Caleb, Aaron, John, Chas and Cain have since been determined to cover the death up.

But Steph has demanded answers. And she would not let it go. After insisting she was going to report her parents to the police, the whole horrible truth came out.

But as Steph and Ruby share even more heartbreaking scenes, fans are still distracted by just how alike the pair look.

This is very good casting (Credit: ITV)

So, are Emmerdale actresses Georgia Jay and Beth Cordingly aka Steph and Ruby related in real life?

One viewer wrote: on social media “Great casting of Steph! She looks just like Ruby!” While another added: “If not related, it’s good the writers found a lookalike actress who can also act like Ruby. She seems just as fiery as her mum, extended family to the Dingles.”

A third asked: “Is the actress who plays Ruby’s daughter any relation to her as the resemblance to Ruby is uncanny?”

A fourth replied to the question: “She even sounds like her.”

So, are they related?

The answer is no. Steph is played by newcomer Georgia Jay, who has previously had a two-episode role in 2019 BBC drama Giri/Haji. She also had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role in Silent Witness.

Does Beth Cordingly have children?

Beth Cordingly does have a daughter, whose face and name she has never shared since she was a baby.

The actress does regularly give updates on her child on social media, but it is clear her offspring is much younger than Georgia and turned 11 in June 2024.

Beth is dating former Emmerdale star Ian Kelsey, who played Dave Glover on the soap in the 90s. He is not the father of her little girl, that is Beth’s former husband, theatre producer Adam Speers.

Daz Spencer: secret daughter, sneaky kisses, and a bitter rivalry with brother Dan

Daz Spencer is returning to Emmerdale after five years, for Amelia’s exit story.

Daz is Amelia’s biological dad and she – along with daughter Esther – will leave Yorkshire for a new life with Daz in Leicester.

So we thought the time was right for a quick reminder about who Daz was, what he got up to during his years on Emmerdale and where he’s been.

Here’s the lowdown on everything you need to know about Daz Spencer.

Daz went through a lot (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Who is Daz Spencer?

Daz is the biological father of Amelia, and brother toÂ Dan Spencer – who thought he was Amelia’s dad, and who brought her up.

After a quick stint in the village in 2014, Daz moved on and then returned for two years in 2017.

Daz’s history included time in the army. He held the rank of Staff Sergeant and served in Afghanistan.

When he arrived in Emmerdale, he claimed he was working as a private security consultant after 18 years of service, and told brother Dan he’d left the army of his own accord.

But that wasn’t exactly true…

Daz arrives in Emmerdale

Dan wasn’t overjoyed to see his brother but he agreed to let him stay, mostly because son Sean talked him into it. But it wasn’t long before Dan was regretting his decision, when Daz kicked off his stay by arranging a robbery at David’s shop.

Not only that, Daz took a fancy to Dan’s fiancÃ©e, Kerry Wyatt. He even tried to kiss her at his brother’s stag do!

Dan saw everything and not surprisingly, he fell out with his brother. After some digging, it came out that Daz had actually been kicked out of the army rather than leaving of his own accord. Fed up with all the lies,Â Dan kicked him out.

Daz returns to the Dales

A couple of years after his initial 2014 arrival, Daz made it back to the village. He wasn’t quite done with his drama yet…

In 2017, Daz was homeless and roaming the streets. Kerry spotted him begging and trying to con money in Hotten. She tracked him down to a ‘Haircuts for the Homeless’ event, butÂ he bolted as soon as he saw Kerry.

Kerry is nothing if not tenacious, mind you, and didn’t give up. She brought the brothers together, which ended up in a scuffle, and Daz left. But Kerry took pity on him and let him have a shower in her and Dan’s house before he went.

Dan lost his temper and Kerry snapped. Fed up with how badly he was treating his brother, she tricked Dan into going to the pub with his friends, stole his keys and locked him out of the house, in order to teach him a lesson about what Daz had been through.

Amelia and Kerry pleaded with Dan and eventually he relented and allowed Daz to stay in his camper van. Daz got a job at the cafe and settled into village life.

Emmerdale: Daz and Dan make up

With relations still prickly between Dan and Daz, tensions came to a head when Dan discovered Daz was carrying a knife.

Amelia had begged him to get rid, but he said it was a memento of his army days that he’d held onto it out of sentimentality.

Eventually, it was revealed that Dan had been involved in an incident whilst homeless, where he had been beaten up and urinated on by a group of thugs while he was sleeping. Daz ended up in hospital with a fractured skull and broken ribs. He couldn’t even eat food for a week. Not surprisingly, Daz had developed PTSD.

When Dan heard all this, he softened towards his brother and told him he, Kerry and Amelia would be there for him.

Amelia found out Daz was her real dad (Credit: ITV)

Another hiccup for the Spencers

Daz is actually the biological father of Amelia, despite DanÂ raising her.

Dan always believed that he was Amelia’s father. But, Daz did a paternity test in 2018 after Amelia’s mum, Ali, died.

The test revealed that Daz was actually Amelia’s biological dad (which came as a bit of a shock to everyone).

Not surprisingly, Amelia struggled with this news at first. With her head all over the place, she ended up going missing. She was found living with a rather creepy girl called Beth who she’d met in an online chatroom.

Daz left the village in 2019 after drunkenly running down Graham Foster. At first Amelia took the blame for the hit and run, wanting to protect her dad.

Who was Donna Windsor? From romance with Ross Barton to tragic death

Emmerdale character Donna Windsor sent fans into tears after her dramatic death back in 2014, leaving little April without a mum.

The police officer was previously romantically involved with Ross Barton before her death. With his return to the Dales, all eyes are turning back to his exes.

Including the rollercoaster relationship between Donna and Ross. Here’s everything you need to know about Donna.

Donna was Ross’s first love (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale: Donna Windsor backstory

Donna was born on the 31st December 1985 in East London and is daughter to Vic and Viv Windsor.

The family stayed in South London for a while, where Donna suffered something that would later seriously harm her.

Back in 1992, Vic was redecorating their flat and the ceiling collapsed, covering Donna in dust. She breathed in a lot of the dust but was not severely hurt, and unbeknown to her, had asbestos.

22 years later, Donna developed an asbestos-related cancer which took her life.

In 1993, the family left for Beckindale, Yorkshire, after having enough of London.

Emmerdale: Donna’s first stint in the Dales

You can take the girl out of the city, but not the city out of the girl. When the Windsors arrived to the Dales, they brought some of their behaviours with them.

Several fast drives and leaving gates open, but they eventually adapted.

Donna’s first big disaster was when she was in Kim’s Stables at the Home Farm when wreckage from a plane hit the stables after a plane crashed in the village.

Luckily, the Windsors survived the crash, but another disaster quickly arrived. The following year, she was on a tractor with Michael Feldmann when it was toppled over. Donna was injured, but made it through.

A legal battle ensued as Viv wanted to sue John Sugden as the incident happened under his leadership.

However, their attention turned elsewhere as 2 years later in January 1996, 10 year old Donna was accidentally shot by her half-brother, Scott Windsor.

Donna’s relationships

InÂ 2003, Donna started datingÂ Robert Sugden whom she had previously bullied whilst at school. He dumped her for another woman, but they got back together eventually.

Things turned sour when Donna contracted chlamydia from him. The pair shared a turbulent relationships, but eventually ended after Robert had an affair.

She moved onto widowerÂ Marlon Dingle. Having finally got over the death of his wifeÂ Tricia, Marlon was ready to date again and found himself falling in love with Donna. He even proposed to her after a year.

Meanwhile, Donna struck up a close friendship withÂ Max King, whom she enjoyed flirting with. When Max was killed in a car crash, caused by Donna’s ex-boyfriend Robert, Donna was devastated and Marlon tried to help her through her grief.

They got married eventually, even though Donna was not sure. She even confessed her love for Max, but they went through with it anyway.

Donna and Marlon were left looking after Marlon’s cousin Lillith‘s four children Luke, Matthew, Mark and Jon, following her arrest for armed robbery.

Emmerdale: Donna and Ross

Crime was never far from Donna, after she and Ross were involved in a car chase after Viv was framed for fraud. However, there Ross and Donna developed feelings for each other, with Donna becoming Ross’ ‘one true love.’

She started an affair with him behind Marlon’s back. They split and got back together, on the promise she would never talk to Ross again. However, soon after Marlon cheated on her with Chas.

He told Donna that he did not love her as much as he loved Tricia and with that admission Donna left the village in a taxi for the train station. She did not come back for years.

After a few years, Donna came back with her four-year-old daughterÂ April, after breaking up with her partner.

Donna’s death

Marlon gave an emotional confession admitting that he didn’t love his daughter. Marlon eventually realised that he needed to bond with April, and as Donna and April were leaving Emmerdale, Marlon stood in front of her car, causing Donna to hit her head on the windscreen.

At the hospital, she revealed she had terminal cancer, but didn’t want her family to know.

She started acting out when she realised she didn’t have long left to live, and even got involved in crime. She restarted her affair with Ross.

However, in a final showdown with criminal Gary North, she told Ross that she loved him and then she took what she saw as the only way out of this situation and pulled Gary over the top of the car park.

The fall killed both of them, and remains one of Emmerdale’s biggest stunts to date.

Emmerdale spoilers: Caleb and Pollard fight

The week starts with Pollard confronting Caleb about the increase in traffic due to his warehouse.

In true Caleb fashion, he blithely bats away his complaints and refuses to take him seriously. Typical Caleb…

Seething at his dismissal, Eric takes action commandeering one of Caleb’s lorries.

Due to not having his medication and being in a state of stress, his hand tremours and he crashes into some crates. In 2023, Eric was dealt a shattering blow when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He’s still full of life, but needs support from the residents of the Dales.

Concerned and shaking, Pollard struggles to hold it together after the shocking reminder his health is slowly deteriorating.

A new friendship on the horizon?

The next day, Pollardâ€™s embarrassed when Caleb spots him wandering into the village, clearly out of sorts. Aware he’s in need of help, Caleb offers him a lift.

Utterly beaten, Pollard swallows his pride and accepts. Caleb drops a vulnerable Pollard at Liam’s house and despite their usual bickering, Pollard’s emotional as he thanks Caleb for his kindness.

Liam assures Eric that his brief paralysis was a symptom of not having access to his usual medication. Adamant that he doesn’t want to worry anyone, Eric makes Liam promise not to tell his family.

Caleb’s surprised to see Pollard back behind the counter at the shop so quickly after the incident. Pollard assures Caleb that heâ€™s not giving up.

While Caleb is known for keeping his distance, the pair share a kind moment and could even be warming up to each other.

Is there a new friendship forming?

Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal Vinny Dingle finally learns the truth of his parentage â€“ and he’s not happy.

Tina Dingle announces that she is Vinny’s mother, despite Mandy’s desperate plea for her to keep quiet.

Emmerdale: Vinny Dingle’s mum

Tina originally ordered Mandy to find Zak’s will and take it to her. She wanted to keep the money for herself, and Mandy managed to find the will despite her hesitance.

Previously, Tina greeted Vinny and questioned him about his love life. After he left, Mandy shouted at Tina that she’d told her to stay away.

Tina snapped: “You don’t get to tell me where I can and can’t go, especially now I’ve got interests round here.”

Mandy said that Tina isn’t included in Zak’s will and can’t have a share of the house, but Tina replied: “Prove it. It belongs to family. And I’m family. And who says we’re just talking about the house?”

This caused a nervous reaction from Mandy, as Tina continued: “I’ve come for everything that’s mine. Vinny is such a sweet boy. Do you know, it makes me sad, thinking about everything I’ve missed out on. What’s mine is mine. My house. My son.”

While Vinny knows Mandy is not his biological mum, he is unaware of his true parentage. Until now…

Vinny is furious to learn the truth (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale: Vinny learns the truth

On Monday (November 11), Tina is shocked to open the door of her caravan and find herself in a random field.

He’s completely overwhelmed as Tina has finally told him the truth.

Mandy begs him to listen to her reasoning but as the two women begin arguing viciously, Vinny quietly leaves unable to deal with it.

It’s chaos on Main Street when Mandy’s secret becomes public knowledge. The Dingles can’t believe what they are hearing. They want answers over Mandy’s betrayal, but as they probe her for the full truth, Tina slips away without a word.Â

Meanwhile, the one person Mandy is really concerned about, Vinny, is distraught to have been lied to. He breaks Mandy’s heart when he disowns her over her lies. Can she win him back round?Â

Who is Georgia Jay?: The star set to play Steph Miligan

Emmerdale fans will be delighted with the arrival of Georgia Jay, who is set to take up the role of Steph Miligan soon.

The star will play Caleb and Ruby’s daughter after plenty of mentions over the past few weeks.

In Emmerdale spoilers were told that Steph is due to make a shock appearance, which will have tough repercussions for the Miligan family. But, who is actress Georgia Jay? Where have you seen her before?

Who is Georgia Jay?

Georgia Jay is no stranger to the silver screen, as she has made plenty of appearances on several UK shows.

Also known as Georgina Philipp, the star has a pretty low-key life off screen as shown on her social media. She has around 270 followers and frequently shares photos of her modelling around London.

The star is thought to be in her early 20s and her biggest feature so far was for the BBC.

Who will Georgia Jay play on Emmerdale?

ITV have revealed her new character Steph Miligan will inherit both the best (and worst) traits of her parents, including their desire to win over anything else…

Commenting on her joining, Georgia said: “I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I’m very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.”

Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper said: “Weâ€™re delighted to be welcoming Nicholas and Georgia to Emmerdale as part of the Miligan family. With so much yet to discover about Ruby, the arrival of her father and daughter will unlock her past and see Ruby and Caleb tested in ways weâ€™ve never seen before.

“With two actors of such great calibre, they’re certainly set to make their mark on the Dales.”

We wonder how Ruby will react to the shock arrival, especially so soon after her mother’s death? Will she be welcomed with open arms? Or will Steph reject her parents, who she hasn’t seen for a decade?

What else has Georgia Jay been in?

Georgia currently has three accredited jobs on IMDB, mainly in television.

She is perhaps most known for her role as Dianne Vickers in BBC’s Giri/Haji.

The actress also appeared in Glow & Darkness (2021) and The Devil Sits on Both Shoulders (2018).

Glow & Darkness was a 2021 television historical drama which saw Georgia appear in 7 episodes. She acted alongside legend Joan Collins.

While new to Soapland, Georgia is sure to hit the ground running with a complicated family storyline. What more could you ask for in Emmerdale?

Georgia Jay’s real-life away from Emmerdale

Little is known about Georgia’s life away from Emmerdale, but the British actress is no stranger to sharing photos with her friends.

She shared a few backstage shots back in 2020 during her time working on BBC’s Giri/Haji. Sharing a screenshot of herself wearing a red dress in the show, Georgia penned: “Donâ€™t mess with the one in Red.”

Another time she uploaded a snap in an old fashioned dress and pinned up hair. Hopefully, the star will start sharing some pics from the Dales rather soon…

Last weekâ€™s episodes of the soap (Monday, October 28) revealed that Ross is back in town, showing up as Billyâ€™s opponent in the underground fight club heâ€™s recently gotten himself involved with.

Upon hearing of his return, Mack made his views very clear. He does not like Ross, and wants him to stay away from Charity and Moses. Ross even punched Mack, who insisted on winding him up (what’s new?!).

The pair made sure Moses was out of the house on his return, but that didn’t stop Ross from coming over. He dropped a few bombshells, including news that Rebecca had passed away.

She died during a routine surgery. Last night (Thursday, October 31) Ross revealed that Bex’s son Seb had gone to live with one of Rebeccaâ€™s relatives â€“ leaving him as a single man.

Elsewhere, actor Mike Parr teased a potential reunion for Ross and the mother of his son, Moses: “You really canâ€™t hate somebody whoâ€™s doing a great job of raising your most beloved possession.

“But itâ€™s Ross, and itâ€™s Charity. Thereâ€™s always going to be fireworks.”

But, where would this leave Mack?

Emmerdale fans desperate for Charity to ditch Mack for Ross

Many fans have been encouraging Charity to ditch Mack so that she can focus on Ross.

One X viewer expressed: “Just watched tonight’s ED and wish I hadn’t because the Charity/Mack scenes made me feel sick and my day is now ruined. Also Mack making out he’s father of the century. Wake up, Charity!”Â

Another replied: “Truly abysmal! Dad of the year Mack talking about parenting after how he treated Chloe and Reuben. Heâ€™s zapped the sense and logic out of Charityâ€™s character, awaiting her to come to her senses!”

“Charity used to be such a complex character, now it seems sheâ€™s there just to mother Mack,” wrote a third.

A fourth person added: “The difference in chemistry between Charity/Ross, and Charity/Mack is insane. I’ll never understand why Emmerdale stuck her with Mack long term, [bleep] awful decision!”

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ross revealed what happened to Rebecca and Nicola did the right thing over Tom – for once!

In Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, October 30), Ross Barton stirred up trouble in the Dales â€“ and he’s only just got back.

Considering the mere mention of him caused trouble between Charity Dingle and Mack â€“ you have to give him props.

Here’s what else happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Emmerdale tonight: Ross explained everything

Ross was standing over James Barton’s grave. Suited and booted in his usual tracksuit, he called out hello to cousin Matty. They shared a brief catch-up, where Ross indicated a lot had changed in his life…

He then went to see Moses, but had no luck as he was with Matty and Amy. Despite this, he confirmed to Charity that he’d be sticking around to spend time with his son. Charity, safe to say, was not too keen.

After a parenting lesson, Ross tried to get round Charity, but she only wanted answers. Ross weirdly then wanted a selfie for Moses. Seems strange for a first return…

Ross gave his two pence on Mack, but Charity found out he and Rebecca had ended. Not only that… she is dead. Yes, Rebecca White has died.Â

Ross explained he was left with Seb one day while Rebecca went in for a routine operation. However he was then told that Rebecca’s heart stopped during surgery. Since then, he and Seb were close until Seb was taken to live with Rebecca’s aunt in Bristol. Ross thought it was probably for the best.

Nicola reported Tom in Emmerdale tonight

Jimmy headed over to the B&B to let Tom know he was welcome back to the King residence at any point. Nicola wasn’t too keen… rightly so!

She was still angry at Tom, and came up with an idea. She and Carl headed to the police station, and Carl gave a statement about the missing tablet…

The police said they’ll review the recording and get back when they have more information.

Nicola got a shock when she got back to see Tom moved back in. However, the police turned up just in time to take Tom in for questioning.

Jimmy took his anger out by ranting at Nicola, but she insisted the police needed to know. Will they make up? And is this finally Tom’s downfall?

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Moira left

Matty and Moira were still happy to go away, despite the shock of Ross turning up. Cain was more than surprised to hear when they told him… not exactly the news he expected over his morning cuppa.

He came around to the idea of their tour to visit Adam, especially with Moira’s agreement that she’d be back before her operation.

Nevertheless, Cain was struggling with the prospect of her going away.

As Moira and Cain comforted each other both were painfully aware this could be a rehearsal for a more permanent farewell…

Aaron covered for Billy

Dawn was not happy to see Aaron at the pub. Billy told her to back off, but she was interested to hear what he had to say when he suggested Billy might be hiding something…

After Billy’s stern look, Aaron backed down. Will the truth come out?

Billy hid money from Dawn and offered pizza, she shared concern, but he reassured her they would be okay…

When bringing the pizzas in, he was confronted by Ross, who warned him he was in great danger. Ross said he had to fight again. We wonder how this one will go…
