Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has said there is ‘no way’ that an affair will develop between Ruby and Cain – and we’re relieved!
Last month, Ruby Fox-Miligan slept with her brother-in-law Cain Dingle, with the pair agreeing to keep the fling a secret.
The storyline hasn’t pleased fans, but viewers will be happy to know that it won’t be developing into a full-blown affair.

Ruby cheats on Caleb with Cain
Last month, Cain struggled to cope while his wife Moira Dingle was undergoing surgery for a brain tumour.
In a special episode, Cain’s story was told in reverse chronological order. Viewers first saw him with bloodied hands while drinking whiskey.
As the clock went back further, viewers were shocked and annoyed when Cain and Ruby were shown putting their clothes on, while telling each other that no one should ever find out about what they’d done.
The following day, Caleb Miligan found a box of emergency contraception in the bin (You could have hidden it better, Ruby!) Fortunately for Ruby, Caleb was convinced it belonged to daughter Steph, so Cain and Ruby’s secret remains a secret, for now.

Beth Cordingly speaks out
Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has said her character Ruby will not be having an affair with Cain.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Beth said there was ‘no way’ an affair would develop between the pair. She added: ‘[The one-night stand] was two people pressing the self-destruct button, who both just happened to be there, and they probably regretted it as it was happening.
‘Whenever I bump into Jeff [Hordley, who plays Cain] or Nat [J Robb, who plays Moira], I’m like, “Has Moira found out yet?” as if it’s real. I’m dreading it!’
The actress also opened up on the possibility of Ruby getting pregnant with Cain’s baby. She said: ‘Well, we saw Caleb find the morning after pill in the bin, didn’t we? So, we know Ruby’s taken it.
‘I suppose the thing about soap is that you have to keep throwing grenades into the scenario. When everyone’s happy and ticking along it’s boring, and no one wants to watch that!’

Emmerdale has reportedly filmed a huge stunt that will see three women, including Leyla Harding, fighting for their lives.
The Sun has revealed that three soap favourites will find themselves trapped in a car as it plunges into a frozen lake.
While the identity of the other two characters is not known, it was revealed earlier this year that Roxy Shahidi, who plays Leyla, will be leaving the soap. Could this be how she makes her dramatic exit?

Leyla to leave Emmerdale
Earlier this year, a source told The Sun: “Roxy has adored her time on the soap and has made so many happy memories since first joining when she was 17.
“The cast have become like family to her and she has grown so much as an actress. But now feels like the perfect time to spread her wings and try something new.
“She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. She’d rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered.”
There have been theories about how Leyla will leave the soap. Originally, some fans suspected that Tom could kill her.
More recently, fans have come up with another theory. With Emmerdale set to air a special A&E episode featuring Jacob being tested ‘professionally and personally’, fans suspect his mum will be one of his patients.

Emmerdale planning big stunt
According to The Sun, terrifying scenes were filmed last week, which saw Leyla and two other women trapped in a car as it sunk into a frozen lake.
Sources have told the publication that Emmerdale pulled out all the stops. This included covering a field with candle wax in order to make it look like a frozen lake.
An insider told The Sun that bosses ‘want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths’ as the car slams into the lake.
They added: “It’s a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice. Then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.”

In recent Emmerdale scenes, Belle turned up to court at the last minute and exclaimed that she was ready to tell her story, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled!
It’s been a tough year for Belle, having suffered physical abuse and coercive control at the hands of husband Tom King. She eventually found the courage to leave Tom and report him, but that wasn’t the end of her ordeal.
It was touch and go whether Tom would get his way, especially when it appeared that Belle was a no show at court. However, she delighted fans when she arrived at the last minute.

Tom to face justice
The list of Tom’s crimes against Belle is endless. From holding her hand under scolding water and poisoning her dog to locking her in the house and punching her – poor Belle has been through it.
All the while, Tom used gaslighting to make Belle believe she was to blame or that she had misunderstood the situation. He also tried his best to alienate her from her family in order to make her rely on him.
Earlier in the week, Tom was rushed to hospital after apparently trying to take his own life. The incident left Belle feeling guilty and doubting if she should give evidence at the trial.
Fortunately, Belle saw sense. In Wednesday’s episode (December 18), after her family spent ages trying to track her down, Belle arrived at court at the last minute declaring: “It’s time to tell my story”. Go, Belle!

Fans thrilled as Belle arrives in court
Fans took to social media to express their joy at Belle’s court arrival. “Phew! Belle has made it to the court! You’re screwed now Tom,” wrote one viewer on X. Another added: “Oh well done Belle, tell the court what an abuser Tom really is.”
Over on Instagram, another fan wrote: “Thank goodness Belle turned up to wipe that smug smile off his face.”
A fourth fan admitted to feeling emotional over the episode, writing: “I knew that Belle would turn up, but I had tears in my eyes when she did.”
A fifth fan said: “What a fab ending !! Come on Belle you can do this !!!” With a sixth adding: “YESSSS BELLE!!! I KNEW IN MY HEART SHE’D TURN UP!!”

Emmerdale fans aren’t enjoying Aaron Dingle’s romance with John Sugden and have called for Aaron’s ex, Robert Sugden, to return next year.
Aaron first hooked up with John in August, after arranging to meet him via a dating app. It was later revealed that John was a Sugden and the secret half brother of Robert.
Now, with both Aaron and John having a link to Robert, fans want Robert to return to the Dales in 2025. But where is Robert and is a comeback possible?
Where is Robert Sugden?
Robert left Emmerdale in 2019 after being sent to prison for killing his sister’s rapist.
During a night out, Victoria Sugden met a man called Lee Posner. He wouldn’t take no for an answer and later he raped Victoria in her own home.
Victoria left it a while before reporting the attack meaning there was no physical evidence and the case was eventually dropped. However, Lee continued to taunt Victoria and her family and one day, Robert lost it and hit Lee over the head with a shovel.
Lee survived the attack long enough to tell police Robert had been responsible, but later died from a intracerebral haemorrhage. Robert was sentenced to 14 years in prison, leaving fans devastated that Robron was no more.

Fans demand a Robert Sugden return
Scenes this week have seen Aaron and John confess their love to each other. While some fans were moved by the scenes, many couldn’t help but point out the lack of chemistry between the pair and reminisce about Aaron’s previous relationship with Robert.
“NOOO WE ALL WANT ROBERT,” one fan said on Instagram. Another added: “I don’t like Aaron with John, it will always be Robert and Aaron!! Please come back Robert!!”
“No one will compare to Robert,” a third fan wrote, with a fourth writing: “Aaron belongs to Robert. You need to bring them back together for good!”
A fifth fan said: “I wish Robert would come back. Aaron and Robert were perfect together!,” with another writing: “John is no Robert!! Bring back Robert in 2025, Aaron belongs to Robert.”

Is a comeback for Robert possible?
Although, it’s only been 5 years since he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, this is soap land where anything is possible. Viewers may also remember that back in 2021, Lee’s brother Luke revealed to their mum Wendy that on the day Lee was attacked by Robert, Lee had beaten Luke up after discovering he was in a relationship with a man.
Luke said he fought back, resulting in Lee falling down and hitting his head. Hours later he was attacked by Robert. If Luke’s confession becomes known, Robert could potentially get out of jail on appeal.
Robert’s name has cropped up a lot lately, with fans hoping it means he’s on his way back. One theory is that John isn’t really who he says he is. Fans have speculated that he could have been in prison with Robert. Could Robert be the key to unlocking the truth about John Sugden and Aidan Moore?
In addition, Ross Barton made a return to the village recently after six years away and he revealed that Rebecca White had died. Rebecca was the mother of Robert’s son Seb – another reason for Robert to come back.
The most recent Robert was played by Ryan Hawley, who has starred in All Creatures Great and Small, Silent Witness and Casualty since leaving Emmerdale.

A recent Emmerdale episode saw John Sugden and Aaron Dingle confess their love for each other, but fans aren’t buying it.
John arrived in the Dales in the summer. Unaware that John was related to his ex-husband Robert Sugden, Aaron arranged to meet up with John via a dating app.
Aaron and John have been in a slow burning romance since, with things stepping up a notch this week. But fans think the relationship is too ‘forced’ and can’t get behind it.

Aaron and John said the L word
This week, Aaron and John have been getting close to nature by camping in the woods. While Aaron was initially reluctant to go on the trip, he relented when he saw how much it meant to John.
The two have become closer during the trip. Aaron has opened up about how his abuser Gordon used to take him camping, while John spoke to Aaron about the mysterious Aidan Moore.
Yesterday’s episode (Wednesday December 18) saw the L-bomb dropped. Aaron informed John that he was in it for the long run and said that he thought he was in love with him. Fortunately for Aaron, he didn’t embarrass himself as John admitted he felt the same way.

Fans can’t get behind the romance
Emmerdale fans aren’t a fan of Aaron and John as a couple, with many citing the lack of chemistry.
One fan wrote on X: “There’s zero chemistry between Aaron and John. It just doesn’t work,” while another said: “Even Aaron thinks John is boring…lol, I don’t think even Emmerdale believe they are selling this snoozefest.”
Over on Instagram, a third fan agreed, writing: “My gosh, this relationship is so forced. These 2 have no chemistry unlike Robert and Aaron.” A fourth viewer added: “Don’t like John! Something not right with him! Plus these 2 don’t gel together at all for me.”
Another added: “I’m just not feeling these two as a couple, the chemistry is not right.” While a sixth fan said: “I’m having difficulty liking this pair. I like John as a person, but he and Aaron don’t have chemistry. It seems forced.”

In Emmerdale spoilers tonight, Tom’s court case take place. Will Belle get the justice she deserves?
Tom King has been doing everything in his power to sway the odds in his favour. Last week, he had Angelica share a video in which she slagged off Tom. He then tried to use this to stop the trial – claiming the jury wouldn’t be impartial after seeing the video.
After that plot failed, Tom faked a suicide attempt. This almost had the desired effect when Belle felt guilty, but yesterday’s episode saw her arrive at court to give evidence at the last minute.
In today’s episode, Tom has to face the music. Read below for full Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (Thursday, December 19.)

Emmerdale spoilers tonight 1. The court case gets under way
Tom was in hospital earlier in the week after apparently attempting to take his own life. However, the whole thing was another of his schemes. This one very nearly worked, too, as both Jimmy and Amelia felt sorry for Tom. Belle also felt guilty and started to have second thoughts about testifying.
During yesterday’s episode (Wednesday, December 18), Tom was full on smug. When Belle failed to show, he declared it was his ‘time to shine’ and declared he would destroy Belle in court.
Fortunately, Belle got her thoughts together and showed up at court at the last minute, ready to give her evidence. Tonight, that all plays out. Does Tom have any tricks left up his sleeve?

2. The jury give their verdict
The jury gather as Tom finally stands trial for assault and controlling, coercive behaviour.
Former Bad Girls star John Ellis, Corrie and Casualty actor Charles Dale, and Loose Women presenter and Coronation Street star Denise Welch all appear in the episode as members of the jury.
Speaking about her role as Heidi, Denise Welch said: “I’ve been gripped by the Belle and Tom storyline so to play a head juror in the story’s culmination was an honour. My character Heidi was more emotionally involved, so I felt that maybe she had experienced some form of domestic abuse herself.”

Then came a pity party as Jimmy and Amelia started to feel guilty over how they had treated Tom. “‘I hope you rot,’ that’s the last thing I said to him,” Jimmy said, while Amelia said: “All that hate and I call myself a Christian.”
Sam was having none of it though, and reminded them what Tom had done. He insisted that this changed nothing. Amelia continued to defend Tom, asking: “But how low must he have felt to want to end his life?â€
Belle also felt guilty, believing she should have seen it coming as Tom had done it before. Belle said she thought it had been an act before. In a weird parallel universe, Sam appeared to be the only one with a brain and told Belle that Tom was just messing with her head again.
Amelia jumped in to say: “He could have died, Sam. No one is that sick.†That’s what you think, Amelia…
Later, Sam told Charity about the situation and said: “Could have throttled Jimmy and Amelia. I’m meant to be the thick one, but even I could see what he’s doing.â€Â
Charity told Belle not to let Tom get inside her head again, but it seemed like it might be too late for that…

Tom continued to be manipulative
In hospital, the doctor told Tom there will be no permanent damage and shared that a psychological assessment had been arranged.
Tom was angry when told that his next of kin had been informed. He acted embarrassed as he said: “Great, now everyone knows what I have done.†But once he was alone, he laughed. Perhaps a psychological assessment isn’t such a bad idea…
Later on, Tom’s solicitor pal Ollie asked Tom, “So this was your other way out?†Tom responded: “Desperate times call for desperate measures.â€
Ollie pointed out that Tom’s knowledge of anatomy might have come in useful here. Tom said: “Well maybe if I was a dog or a rat.†If the cap fits, Tom.
Ollie told Tom he will be assessed and a psychologist will decide if he is fit to stand trial. This was music to Tom’s ears, who realised that the trial might not go ahead if he is a suicide risk. Ollie was sure that had been Tom’s plan all along. “What are you suggesting Ollie? That I did all this to somehow manipulate the system?,†asked Tom. Well, yes.
But Tom’s plan was a bit more complex than that. As Belle was shown sitting alone and looking contemplative, Tom’s voice was heard saying: “Of course, there is a chance that something like this might make Belle reconsider her actions. It would be hard for her to testify. Repeating all the vicious lies, knowing how far it’s pushed me. Something like this, it could really put things into perspective.â€
Dawn was touched by Kim’s proposal (Credit: ITV)
Kim asked Dawn to move back in
Will told Kim that the renewal should just be about the two of them. “Do we even need guests?,†he said. Erm, well, yes, probably.
At the hospital, Dawn told Kim that Ewan was doing well and should be home for Christmas. This news made Kim have second thoughts about the vow renewal on Christmas Day. “Christmas is a time for children, we’ll cancel,” she told Dawn.
Dawn was having none of it though and said they needed the vow renewal to bring them back together and “bond us as a family.†So much for no guests.
Kim also suggested that Dawn, Billy and the kids move back to Home Farm. However, while Dawn was pleased, this news went down like a lead balloon with Billy, who said Home Farm was cursed. He probably has a point to be fair.
John arranged for he and Aaron to take a camping trip – but Aaron couldn’t have been less enthusiastic if he tried. To be fair to him, it is the middle of winter.
But when he realised how important it was to John, he agreed to go along. However, while in the forest, Aaron revealed to John that the only time he had ever done anything like that was with Gordon – his father, who abused him.
John apologised and said they could pack up and go home, but Aaron decided to stay. After Aaron went to the van to get some beers, John pulled out the infamous dog tag chain, with the name Aidan Moore on. John stroked the name, while looking deep in thought.
Eric was short with Jimmy in the shop. The exchange was witnessed by Kerry, who told Eric he wasn’t really angry with Jimmy. “You’re angry with yourself,” she said. “When in fact, the only thing that you should be angry with is that scuzzy crypto con.†Eric wasted no time in chucking her out.
Later, Kerry tried to make amends with Eric. Upon seeing the mess at Eric’s place, she offered to clean for him. In a sexist moment, Eric revealed that Brenda had previously done all of the ‘women’s work.’ Nice.

The mysterious Aidan Moore has popped up in Emmerdale again, raising more questions about what exactly John Sugden is hiding.
Since his arrival in the summer, there has been somewhat of a question mark over John’s head. One question has been about why he has a dog tag with the name Aidan Moore engraved on it.
That same dog tag made a reappearance in Monday’s episode (December 16) while John was enjoying a winter camping trip with boyfriend Aaron Dingle.
Is there more to Aidan’s story than John previously shared?

John Sugden arrives in Emmerdale
The new mystery Sugden arrived in the Dales back in August. Unaware of his identity, Aaron had arranged to meet John via a dating app. Aaron and John ended up hooking up in the van on the side of the road.
Later, it was revealed that John was a secret Sugden and was the half-brother of Aaron’s ex-husband Robert. But after a dog tag with the name Aidan Moore was shown in his belongings, viewers wondered whether John was lying about his identity.
John has continued to arouse suspicion with viewers with his random behaviour. Recently, he called the police on Ross and Billy’s underground fight and then warned those involved that the police were coming.

Fan theories on Aidan Moore
The name Aidan Moore first popped up in Emmerdale in August, when Victoria returned a box of John’s belongings. The box had been misplaced and she’d found it in Harry’s room.
When John opened the box, there was a dog tag inside inscribed with the name “Aidan Moore.”
Others suggested that Aidan Moore could be John’s stepdad, who was there for John when real father Jack wasn’t. Another theory is that Aidan is his ex-boyfriend, while some fans believe that John IS Aidan Moore. Some fans have even suggested that John – or Aidan – was in prison with Robert Sugden, and now he’s using his knowledge to worm his way into the Sugden family and potentially con them.
The most impressive theory came from an Emmerdale fan on Reddit who delved into the archives and discovered a character called Karen Moore from the 1980s. She had a fling with Jack AND Jack’s brother Joe and moved away in 1986. Could she be a link to Aidan Moore?

What has John said about Aidan?
In September, John caught his half-sister Victoria looking through his van. She later demanded that John tell her who Aidan Moore is.
John revealed that Aidan had been his best mate in the army, but he had died while they were serving together in Afghanistan. He revealed that the tragedy happened just before the troops were due to be withdrawn from the country.
John got emotional as he revealed that he had tried his best to save him. “I told him I could, but I was lying, I had to,” he remembered. “I could see the fear in his eyes, I held his hand as he slowly slipped away.”
During Monday’s episode (16 December), John took boyfriend Aaron camping. Aaron was reluctant, but John insisted that ‘being in nature is healing.’
He also told Aaron: “You are just like everyone else, happy in your little box, night after night… four walls and a roof – that is a prison to me. Open air, that is my home.â€
Aaron was persuaded and the two found themselves in the forest. Aaron opened up to John, revealing that the only time he has ever been camping before was with Gordon – his father and the man who abused him.
Following Aaron’s revelation, John secretly pulled the infamous dog tag chain from his pocket. He looked deep in thought as his fingers rubbed over the name Aidan Moore. But, is John still keeping secrets about who Aidan Moore really was?

Beth Cordingly responds to exit rumours
In an Instagram video, the actress has reassured fans that she isn’t going anywhere.
“Hi, I just wanted to clear something up because loads of people keep contacting me and saying, ‘Oh I hear you’re leaving the show’,” she said.
She added: “There’s some sort of fake news article going round saying all sorts of stuff. For the record, if I’m allowed to say this, I’m not leaving the show at the moment – as far as I know – I’m having a really lovely time.
“I adore my job, and I definitely don’t feel I’ve been mistreated by any producers. I’m being treated very well and I’m having a lovely time.”
Her followers shared their relief at the news. One fan said: “You’re never allowed to leave… Best Emmerdale casting in years, absolutely love Ruby!”
Another viewer wrote: “Love your character in Emmerdale you are a brilliant actress and I love all of Ruby’s outfits,” while many others praised the star for her acting during the current hard-hitting storyline.

What happened to Ruby in Emmerdale?
Since arriving in the village at the start of the year, Ruby quickly established herself as a popular character. But it’s only recently that her background has been explored.
In devastating flashback scenes that aired last week, it was revealed that Ruby had been sexually abused by her father Anthony when she was younger.
The flashback scenes depicted Ruby’s 16th birthday party. After everyone had left, Anthony took Ruby some cake in her room. In scenes that followed later, after he locked the door, Ruby looked visibly scared as she begged “Please not again. Not today.”
The special episode also hinted that Caleb Miligan may not be Steph’s father. With so much more to explore in this storyline, fans will be pleased that Beth is staying put.
