A new fan theory predicts Steph will be the one to kill Anthony, as Emmerdale spoilers for next week preview his murder.
Ruby’s life was flipped upside down when her dad rocked up to the village. After a while of speculation, it was confirmed Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was younger.
Over the weeks, Anthony has proven that he is still an evil man, as he turned his attention to blackmailing Ruby.
However, Emmerdale spoilers for next week say that Anthony is murdered. And a new fan theory predicts it’s by someone completely unexpected.

Could Steph kill Anthony?
Steph has been her grandad’s biggest supporter since arriving in the village. But she has no idea just how dark his history with her mum goes.
Ruby and her daughter have had a turbulent history, as Steph was sent off to boarding school and always felt her mum preferred her brother, Nicky. Now, that makes sense to us. But Steph still has no idea the real reason.
Fans have been increasingly more and more annoyed, as those closest to Ruby fail to see that something is deeply troubling her.
Ruby ordered a DNA test to work out once and for all who Steph’s true father is. And it seems Caleb is the one to discover the answer tonight.
But one fan is convinced that Steph will be the one to murder Anthony next week.
Taking to social media, one fan wrote: “Calling it now. I reckon it will be Steph who kills Anthony.”

Anthony dies in Emmerdale spoilers
For this to make sense, Steph would have to find out the vile truth about what happened to her mum when she was younger.
But as Emmerdale spoilers suggest the news about Anthony is getting out, could Steph secretly know about it? Or has she found the DNA results herself?
Either way, fans don’t have long left of the Emmerdale villain as next week a gunshot rings out, and Anthony is found dead. And while there are many villagers on the suspect list, could Steph be the unlikely one to pull the trigger?
Fans are calling for April in Emmerdale to come back, as they criticise the storyline for being ‘dragged out.’
On Christmas Day, Marlon discovered that April was not in her room. And she hasn’t been seen since.
Viewers saw her getting into a car at the end of the Christmas episode, but we remain in the dark about who the driver was.

April in Emmerdale remains missing
In the weeks that have followed, Marlon and the rest of his family, have gone on a heartbreaking search. But to no success.
After worrying that April may actually be dead, hope was given when it was confirmed that she was spotted on CCTV in Leeds.
With fresh hope, last night’s episode saw Marlon head out in a search around that area. Only he wasn’t the only one who was looking.
Ross has continued his own search for the teen, despite Marlon’s protests that it was his fault. But yesterday, saw the pair forced together on a mission to find the youngster they both care so deeply about.
Some viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their annoyance at the slow progression.

Fans are fed up with the story progression
One wrote: “I really don’t get this missing April story. It’s so boring and drawn out. There doesn’t seem to be any substance or real point.”
Another penned: “Can they just bring April back already so we don’t have to deal with this as much.”
Others took to the comment section on Emmerdale’s Instagram to give their opinions.
A viewer wrote: “We know she’s alive. It’s dragging on a bit. Just bring April back.”
Another added: “Dragging on a bit which as a result makes it boring to watch.”
However, one fan hit back, explaining the timescale is to represent real life.
They wrote: “It’s hardly dragging on. It’s only been a few weeks. They have to make it believable. These things do happen in real life so it’s a really good storyline in my opinion.”
The question is; where is April? And why hasn’t she returned home?

It’s been a long time coming, but fans finally got their answers about Wendy in Emmerdale.
Wendy’s Emmerdale past has been a huge question mark for fans for a while. Ages ago, it was revealed that she initially lied about her medical qualifications in order to get herself a job. But viewers were led to believe she was going to fix that.
In the midst of April’s disappearance, Rhona has been worrying about who would have leaked her past to the press. And after Vanessa suggested it had to be someone they knew, Rhona was even more apprehensive.
Later we saw a very guilty looking Wendy trying to avoid spending time with Vanessa. Then, she was cornered by a journalist who demanded more dirt on other villagers for her stories – confirming Wendy was the one who leaked Rhona’s history.
But why is Wendy doing this? It seems the journalist knows more about Wendy than we do. She mentioned that as Wendy failed to disclose her criminal background, her qualification isn’t actually legal. So it seems she suits the fan-given nickname ‘Fake nurse Wendy.’
We still don’t know what exactly her criminal past is, but at least we know she isn’t actually qualified to be doing her job. And fans are happy to have that confirmed after all this time.

Fans rejoice as the truth comes out
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) fans rejoiced at the confirmation, while also noting her double standards.
One wrote: “Fake nurse Wendy is finally caught out!”
Another queried: “Why and how is Wendy still a nurse, anyway?”
A third penned: “Wendy is an unqualified nurse and risking people’s lives. Time for her to get off her moral high horse.”
“Fake nurse Wendy is going to start crying because she feels guilty? Get the buckets ready,” a viewer commented.
However, another fan predicted this might be the thing that tips her and Bob’s relationship over the edge.
They wrote: “Wendy looks extremely guilty. Telling the press might be Bob’s final straw.”
The question remains, what exactly is Wendy’s criminal past? And will Rhona find out it was her?

Viewers have had enough of Caleb in Emmerdale, as he continuously fails to notice that something is wrong with Ruby.
Ruby has been struggling ever since her dad, Anthony arrived in the village. It was then revealed to viewers that Anthony had repeatedly sexually abused Ruby while she was growing up.
To make matters even worse for her, now that both Anthony, and her daughter Steph are back in her life, she has the question of who Steph’s real dad is.

Fans are fed up with Caleb in Emmerdale
Ruby’s behaviour has been getting more out of control as the weeks go on. She has been agitated, arguing and even drinking more. Yet her husband fails to notice.
Caleb’s sister, Chas, has spotted the alarming signs, and after a heart-to-heart, Ruby confided in her. While she didn’t tell Chas who she was assaulted by, Chas encouraged her to do a DNA test and tell Caleb.
But fans have had enough of Caleb’s praise for Anthony in the last few episodes. Even Cain knows the man isn’t to be trusted. But suddenly Caleb is one of his biggest fans.
From supporting Anthony through his cancer journey (which viewers think he’s lying about) to trying to get Ruby to forgive her dad, viewers have had enough.
They took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their views.
One wrote: “Oh if only you knew. Caleb your family isn’t as perfect as you think.”
Another penned: “Nice of Caleb to stand by Ruby – not. Why is he Anthony’s cheerleader…?”
A third commented: “Caleb, you are making me not like you.”
Will Caleb be Steph’s dad? (Credit: ITV)
A big shock is coming…
“How has Caleb not realised something is seriously wrong with Ruby?” another questioned.
Last night’s episode saw Caleb gush about his own family life to Cain while at the hospital – but he has no idea what is really going on.
However, it seems he is in for a huge shock, as in spoilers for tonight’s episode Caleb is the one who opens the DNA results. Will he be Steph’s dad? And will this finally get him to realise something bigger is going on?
With Ross and Joe both being back in Emmerdale, fans have begged for more face offs between the pair.
Ross Barton arrived back in the Dales in October as he was revealed to be Billy’s opponent in an illegal boxing match. Meanwhile, Joe Tate rocked up on Christmas Eve as part of Will and Peter’s plot to bring down Kim.
During their previous stints in the village, the two men had a few run ins. Fans are delighted that this history is being revisited and are eager to see more of it.

Ross v Joe in Emmerdale
In Monday’s episode, Ross attempted to intimidate Joe in a bid to get him to stay away from Noah.
During their previous stints in the Dales, Ross was the victim of an acid attack that was meant for Joe. Something that Ross is often keen to remind Joe of.
The face off in Monday’s episode saw Ross lie in wait in Joe’s bedroom at Home Farm. When Joe threatened to report Ross for trespassing, Ross was quick to respond: “See if you can dial 999 before I smash your teeth in.”
Ross then called Joe a “smug little coward” and accused him of living his best life while he has had to deal with surgery and skin grafts following the attack.
After Joe sarcastically responded, “I’m glad it all worked out for you,” Ross grabbed Joe’s shirt and warned Joe to stay away from Noah like Charity had instructed.
Joe insisted he didn’t take orders from Ross. But Ross was quick to go back to Joe’s teeth as he told him: “You do now. Unless you wanna spend the rest of your evening picking your teeth up off the floor.”
Ross of course got the last word as he told Joe that Noah was a Dingle, not a Tate.

Fans call for more battles
Viewers loved the bedroom scene between Ross and Joe and have called for more interactions between the pair.
Underneath a picture of Joe and Ross on the official Emmerdale X account, fans made their feelings clear, with one writing: “More of this please,” accompanied by the praying hands emoji. A second fan added: “Absolutely love that these two are back.”
Over on Instagram, fans also couldn’t get enough of Ross v Joe, with a third fan calling it a “Clash of the titans”.
A fourth fan said: “Loved that,” while many others tried to pick their team. “Team Ross always,” said a fifth fan alongside heart emojis. Another fan responded that they were “Team Joe” and wanted Ross to stop blaming Joe for the acid attack.
With the shared history between the pair and strong personalities, viewers are likely to get their wish for more, and we can’t wait!

Since arriving back in Emmerdale on Christmas Eve, Joe Tate has been struggling with his health. Now fans have predicted that he is after half-brother Noah Dingle’s kidney.
Joe returned to the Dales over Christmas as part of Will and Peter’s plot to bring Kim Tate down. However things took an unusual turn when Joe started being nice to Kim and she invited him to live at Home Farm.
Joe has since been seen taking tablets and struggling to breathe, and now viewers believe they have worked out why Joe is back and what he wants.

What’s wrong with Joe Tate in Emmerdale?
Joe Tate arrived back in Emmerdale over Christmas following six years away. At first it seemed he was the same scheming person as before and was back to seek revenge on former step-mum Kim.
However, he has since made amends with Kim and made himself at home at Home Farm. But fans are concerned that there is something wrong with Joe, with some even speculating that he returned to the village to die.
Upon his return, Joe was seen in a room looking unwell. He appeared to be in pain and was shown rummaging through his bag before removing a packet of pills.
Since then, there have been moments where Joe has appeared to be struggling and he also asked Kim and Dawn for painkillers for a really bad headache.

Joe wants Noah’s kidney, fans predict
Recent scenes have seen Joe try to build bridges with half-brother Noah. Noah was angry at Joe for previously making him believe he was dead. But Joe has been trying to get back into Noah’s good books by offering him football tickets.
Fans believe Joe is after something, though, with one writing on X: “Watch it Noah. He’s after a kidney. Or bone marrow.”
A second fan wrote: “Can only think Joe has a vested interest in reconnecting with Noah, as he’s in need of a transplant and he was looking for likely items that may carry Noah’s DNA to check if he’s a match.”
Over on Instagram, a third fan agreed, writing: “Think Joe does have a kidney problem and is looking for a donor (Noah). He was seen holding his side in the beginning of the episode tonight.”
“I think he definitely needs a donor for some health issue and Noah is his only option,” said a fourth viewer, with another adding: “Yeah, Joe is trying to bribe him.”

Emmerdale spoilers for next week have revealed that Anthony Fox is murdered as part of a whodunnit storyline, but who are the suspects?
Since arriving in Emmerdale in November, Anthony has turned his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan‘s life upside down. Ruby had previously been estranged from her parents, but her father’s arrival in the village forced her to confront the past and Anthony’s vile behaviour.
However, as news of Anthony’s abusive past travels round the Dales, the list of villagers who want him dead grows ever longer. Here, we take a look at the potential suspects.
Could Ruby be the guilty one? (Credit: ITV)
1. Ruby Fox-Miligan
Ruby has more reason than most to want her evil dad dead after he sexually abused her as a teenager.
Since Anthony turned up in the village last year, Ruby has attempted to play happy families for the sake of her daughter Steph. But does Ruby reach breaking point?
Anthony is also in the know about Ruby’s fling with Cain. Will Anthony attempt to blackmail Ruby, causing her to hit out at him?

2. Caleb Miligan
Ruby recently sent off a DNA test to determine if her abuser father or husband Caleb is Steph’s father. Upcoming scenes reveal that Caleb discovers the results.
Once Caleb knows the truth, he has plenty of motive for wanting his father-in-law dead.
Next week, spoilers reveal that Caleb approaches Anthony in his car, and demands that he get in. A gun shot is later heard, but is Caleb responsible?

3. Does Steph Miligan kill Anthony in Emmerdale?
With Anthony potentially being Steph’s dad, rather than grandad, it’s understandable that Steph could be confused and angry.
Spoilers for next week reveal Steph is surprised when her grandfather fails to meet her as planned and she asks around after him. But could that all be an act?
Some fans certainly think so, with one writing on Facebook: “I think it will be Steph who kills him, when she realises what he did to her mum and the horrible reality that he could potentially be her father and not her grandad.”

4. Nicola King
Upcoming scenes see Nicola leave her daughter Angelica alone with Anthony for a tutoring session. Chas soon lets Nicola know about Anthony’s past, causing Nicola to run home.
Nicola tells Anthony that she has heard he is a danger to children and he quickly turns physically threatening. She is rescued from the situation, but does she later go back for more?
Later on in the week, she raises further suspicion when she visits the hospital to see if Anthony has been admitted. Does she have a guilty conscience?

5. Angelica King
If Anthony targets Angelica as he next victim, could she fight back in self defence?
Last year, Angelica inadvertently killed her friend Heath Hope when she crashed the car they were travelling in, so this wouldn’t be her first rodeo so to speak.
Fans are also suspicious of Angelica, with one writing on Facebook: “I wonder if he tries something with Angelica and she kills him.” While another fan said: “Maybe he tries again with Angel and she hits him with something???”

6. Laurel Thomas hits Anthony in Emmerdale
Like Nicola, Laurel also hires Anthony as a tutor and asks him to help with Arthur.
Spoilers for next week reveal Laurel also has ample opportunity. Firstly it appears that Anthony is sleeping on Laurel’s sofa. Later, she rescues Nicola from a dangerous situation by hitting Anthony over the head with a candlestick.
However, as we know a gunshot is later heard, it’s unlikely that it’s this attack that kills Anthony. But Laurel is a suspect never-the-less.
Could Chas kill Anthony? (Credit: ITV)
7. Chas Dingle
Chas was one of the first people Ruby confided in about Steph’s potential paternity. She soon learns the whole truth and is instrumental in spreading the news around the village.
Could Anthony seek revenge on Chas for turning others in the village against him, leading to Chas to hit out in self-defence?
Given her own son Aaron was abused by his father, the situation could stir up memories and cause Chas to lash out at Anthony.

8. Aaron Dingle
Speaking of Aaron Dingle. Similar to his mum, memories could be stirred up causing him to take his anger out on Anthony. Aaron is no stranger to violence, after all.
Spoilers for next week show that Aaron is unnerved when he overhears a conversation between Anthony and Ruby, when they don’t believe anyone is listening. What does he discover?
Aaron can relate to Ruby, so could he attack Anthony in her honour?
Does Cain have something to hide? (Credit: ITV)
9. Cain Dingle
Cain is also no stranger to violence, with one fan writing on Facebook that “this has Cain’s name written all over it”.
Next week, Cain is concerned when he sees his sister Chas upset. She shares the news about Anthony, leaving Cain ashen.
Family is important to Cain, so could he kill Anthony out of loyalty to his brother and sister-in-law. While at the same time, it would protect his and Ruby’s secret.

During Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, Marlon and Rhona were shown CCTV footage of April running along a street. But who was the teen running from?
April went missing over Christmas and was later shown getting into a mysterious car. Until now, there had been no sighting of April, with Marlon even starting to contemplate that his daughter could be dead.
However, the family liaison officer brought good news this week and showed Marlon footage of April running down a street in Leeds. Although the footage confirms April is alive, it’s not clear why she is running. Here are all the theories on who April could be running from in Emmerdale.

1. April is running from a shopkeeper in Emmerdale
One eagle-eyed fan wrote on Instagram: “April had a brown paper bag in her left hand when she was running on the cctv, she could have stolen it from the shop. That could be why she’s running.”
Another fan agreed, writing: “I thought maybe she was running cause she just shoplifted or something, it looked like she had something in her hand.”
Earlier this month, April’s purse was found on a stab victim, though there was no sign of April herself. But if April is living on the streets and is now without any money, it makes sense that she might have to steal to feed herself.

2. Billy is involved
During Monday’s episode (January 13), Billy Fletcher mentioned that he had been in Leeds putting up flyers. Some fans suspect this is a clue and have accused Billy of being the one April is running from.
“I think Billy has something to do with it because he said he’d been around Leeds Central and she was filmed in Leeds Central and looks like she was running away from something or someone, just a thought,” wrote a fan on Instagram.
Billy was also involved with illegal boxing alongside Ross – a storyline that culminated in April being kidnapped by Jade last year.

3. April is running from Ross in Emmerdale
Spoilers for Tuesday’s episode of Emmerdale reveal that Marlon heads to Leeds to look for his daughter. When he sees a girl who looks like April from a distance, he heads towards her.
However, Marlon is shocked when he comes face-to-face with Ross Barton. What is he doing there and does he have anything to do with April’s disappearance?
Viewers will also remember that Ross was the one who told April the truth about her mum Donna Windsor’s death, which caused April to spiral before she disappeared. Could Ross have tracked April down and be trying to bring her home?
Despite the news that Anthony will be killed off in scenes next week, some viewers are still convinced that he has taken April.
“I can’t get rid of the feeling that Ruby’s flesh crawling dad is behind this,” wrote a viewer on X, while another fan said: “I am convinced that she’s been kidnapped by someone from the Village,” before suggesting that that person could be Anthony and April has managed to escape.

5. Kelly and Scott Windsor
Other viewers think that if April wanted to get away from the village, she would track down family, so have suggested she could be staying with her aunt Kelly or uncle Scott.
“Have Kelly and Scott been mentioned?” asked one viewer on Instagram. While another fan speculated that she could be running from one of them after they suggested she go home.

Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal Anthony Fox is murdered. While some viewers are happy about this news, others believe he should be jailed for his crime.
Anthony arrived in Emmerdale in November 2024, turning daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan’s life upside down. In an emotional flashback episode, it was revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was a teenager.
Recent scenes have seen Ruby send off a DNA test in order to determine whether her dad or husband Caleb is the father of her daughter Steph.
Next week, a flashforward episode will show Anthony lying dead – a development that has divided fans.

Chas informs Nicola that Anthony is a danger to children and Nicola quickly runs home. However, Anthony becomes physically threatening towards Nicola.

Meanwhile, Caleb is shown pulling up in a car and ordering Anthony to get in. The tense event comes to a head when a shot is heard fired and Anthony is found dead.
But who out of Ruby, Caleb, Chas, Cain, Aaron, Nicola and Laurel is responsible?

Fans divided over Anthony’s demise
Upon details of this storyline being released, fans flocked to social media to have their say on Anthony Fox‘s murder.
“He should have had the law deal with him, This is the easy way out but if murdered someone else gets punished for a crime. Pity Ruby didn’t report to police and let him suffer the wrath of the prison services,” wrote one viewer on Facebook.
A second fan added: “[Bleep] so pain free from his cancer, easy road out. Rather him in jail suffering and dealing with the shame.” A third fan agreed, writing: “I don’t want him murdered, I want him imprisoned for his evil past!”
A fourth fan said: “He should have had the law deal with him. This is the easy way out but if murdered someone else gets punished for a crime.”
However, other fans are happy to see the back of him. “Good, he’s awful,” a fifth fan simply responded. While another said: “Glad we don’t have another drawn out story, glad he’s gone.”
A seventh fan added: “Yes, yes, yes. Won’t have to see his creepy face or evil voice again. Hope it’s Caleb, but I think it might be Cain,” with another fan writing: “Good riddance.”

It’s been revealed in Emmerdale that April Windsor is alive, but will the teenager return home?
April disappeared from her home on Christmas Day, causing her family and friends to go out of their minds as they search for her.

April goes missing in Emmerdale
Before going missing, April discovered the truth about her mother Donna’s death from Ross Barton.
This caused the teen to go off the rails and she bunked off school and took up drinking. She also clashed with her father on numerous occasions as she hated that he had not been honest with her.
On Christmas Day morning, Marlon went to April’s bedroom to check on his daughter, but she wasn’t there. Viewers later saw her getting into a mysterious car, not to be seen again.
Since Christmas Day, the village has come together to support Marlon and Rhona, and numerous searches have taken place.

April is alive in Emmerdale
During tonight’s episode (January 13), Marlon woke from a nightmare in which April’s body was discovered. He later confessed that there was a real possibility that his daughter really was dead.
As the family continued to support each other they received a message from the family liaison officer who said she had news.
Back at home, Marlon and Rhona waited for Anna to arrive. When she did, she shared with them that there had been a potential sighting of April.
Marlon and Rhona were then shown CCTV footage of a girl running along a street in central Leeds. Marlon and Rhona confirmed that it was definitely April, with Marlon breathing a sigh of relief as he said, ‘she’s alive.’

Is April coming back?
Spoilers for upcoming episodes reveal Marlon travels to Leeds in search of April. He sees a young girl who from a distance looks like April. But as he runs towards her, he is shocked to come face-to-face with Ross instead.
There is an altercation between the two men, but soon Ross tries to support Marlon. He does his best to buoy Marlon and keep up his hopes of finding April.
However, Marlon can’t help but feel overwhelmed at the task as he is surrounded by reminders that April is just one of hundreds of thousands of missing people.
While there is no confirmation when April will return, it appears that she hasn’t left the show so she’ll most likely be back on screen soon.
