In Emmerdale last week, Caleb Miligan and Ruby Fox-Miligan’s estranged daughter Steph arrived, but fans are baffled over her accent.
Steph’s brother Nicky arrived in the village two years ago, before leaving earlier this year. While Nicky had a Geordie accent, Steph sounds quite posh.
Fans have questioned the casting and wondered if the two grew up separately.

Who is Steph in Emmerdale?
Steph Miligan arrived in Emmerdale during Friday’s episode. During her so far short time in the village, a lot has been revealed about her relationship with her parents.
When she was 14, Ruby and Caleb decided she was out of control and she was sent to boarding school. Steph has had a tricky relationship with her parents, especially her mum, since.
But one thing fans noticed immediately about Steph was that she didn’t sound anything like any of her family. Caleb is Mancunian and Ruby is Southern. Meanwhile, Nicky, who left the village in the summer with boyfriend Suni, had a Geordie accent – we have no idea where he got that from. And now, to add to the mystery, Steph has come along sounding super posh.
To make things even more confusing, Ruby’s mum was a Liverpudlian!

Fans baffled over Steph Miligan’s accent in Emmerdale
Taking to X, viewers were quick to question why Steph sounded so posh. “Steph is rather attractive and rather posh whilst her brother’s a Geordie how the hell does that work out?” asked one fan.
With another fan adding: “Steph arrives and talks posh, yet her brother Nicky spoke Geordie, they must not have been raised together.”
A third viewer said: “I take it Steph grew up in a posh boarding school as she sounds [bleep] all like her brother. Or maybe Nicky was brought up in Northeast on the mean streets of the Jesmond area of Newcastle?” Another fan asked: “Why did Nicky have a Newcastle accent and Caleb, Ruby and Steph haven’t?”
Over on Reddit, one fan had this theory: “It would make more sense for her to be Geordie, but I know that’s very difficult to imitate. She could be quite a bit older than Nicky. It’s possible she was raised in the south and kept her accent when they moved to Newcastle.” With the posh accent presumably developing after she was sent away to boarding school.
We’re sure as time goes on, more will be revealed about the new mystery Miligan.

Nicola is convinced that the Dingles are right about Tom, and the rest of the village have turned against him, meaning Tom’s only allies are girlfriend Amelia and uncle Jimmy.
But even those loyal supporters are about to wonder if Tom’s really as nice as he’s pretending to be!
We sat down for a chat with Emmerdale star James, who plays evil Tom, to find out what happens as his alter ego’s nice-guy persona begins to crumble.

Persuading Nicola
With Nicola not budging, Tom’s determined to make her see that he’s an ‘innocent victim’ despite him being guilty of everything Belle’s accused him of!
So how is he going to talk Nicola into believing him? Well, he ropes Amelia in to help him!
“I think Tom is definitely pressured when he is trying to convince Nicola that he is genuine about everything that he is saying,” James tells us.
” I think in a weird way Tom does thrive under pressure and he enjoys it – as he gets an energy from it and feels quite invigorated and proud of himself when he does succeed in talking himself out of these scenarios.”
Nicola isn’t convinced! (Credit: ITV)
Tom plans to move away in Emmerdale
But despite Tom loving the drama, things don’t go well and Nicola is far too savvy to be convinced by his attempt to win her over with Amelia’s help.
And we know Tom doesn’t like it when things don’t go his way! So how does he react?
“I think Tom is surprised at first that he hasn’t managed to win her over because he has succeeded every other time and with every other person he has tried to convince before,” reveals James. “But I think he’s very quick to then move onto the next thing. Thinking how do I move on to a scenario where I am going to win?”
Tom’s next move is to suggest to Amelia they they move away together. What’s the plan there?
“It’s partly because he is hated in the village!” admits James. “But also it’s like when he went away to Wales with Belle, it was a way for him to fully control her and to have her to himself. Essentially the less people around that Amelia knows, the more she is going to have to rely on him and I think he quite enjoys that.”

Tom messes with Belle’s head in Emmerdale
With the walls closing in, Tom steps up his scheme to mess with Belle’s head. He steals one of her tops and gives it to Amelia. Creepy!
“It’s all about getting her in the worst state possible so he can selfishly benefit,” explains James. “He knows he’s grinding her down when he knows she’s seen Amelia in her clothes.”
And that’s when things fall apart! Belle tells Amelia that the jumper is hers, and Amelia asks questions.
“Tom is really cross,” says James. “He berates Amelia immediately. His mask has slipped! He drags Amelia out into the street.”

The mask is slipping!
But Jimmy’s there and he sees what Tom’s up to! And with perfect timing, it’s when the police arrive, too, to question Tom.
He’s taken in for questioning by DS Foy. How does that go?
“He tries to keep his cards close to his chest because at the end of the day unless it’s actual evidence they have, Tom is going to deny it – as it’s in his interest to do that. In the interview room he attempts to manipulate the situation and tries to show to DS Foy he is actually the victim. Tom is doing that as much as possible to try and look innocent.”
And meanwhile, Jimmy is reeling from seeing Tom dragging Amelia out of the house. So will he realise Tom’s been lying?
“It’s only a matter of time,” says James. “I think Jimmy will have to start reading the writing on the wall at some point. Of course his uncle Jimmy doesn’t want to believe that Tom is a bad man but eventually Tom fears Jimmy will realise the truth.”
But despite all this, Tom still thinks he can get away with it even though the police are onto him!
“He has a sort of God complex,” says James. “Tom is cunning, conniving and clever – and I would kind of compare him to Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. He’s good at manipulation. He’s good at turning people on each other for his own benefit. He enjoys playing people and playing scenarios. He has no empathy or morality.”
Tom is still playing the victim (Credit: ITV)
Tom plays the victim in Emmerdale
“There are things that have happened like the axe going in Tom’s back and of course he has eye witnesses of people who saw Belle pushing him over,” James reveals. “He thinks he’s got a lot of ammunition against her. He wants to win and believes he still can.”
“I feel very proud of the people I’ve worked with,” says James. “The scenes with the burning of the guy – and then squaring up to the Dingles was a lot of fun. It’s been a lot of fun working with Daisy (Campbell, who plays Amelia). It has been an amazing storyline, it has been intense – a real rollercoaster of emotions but it’s been amazing. I’m really proud of what we have done. Eden Taylor-Draper (AKA Belle) has been totally amazing. There is more to come!

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week time seems to be running out for Tom as he is once again taken in for questioning. Could this be the beginning of the end?
Over the last few weeks Tom has been trying his best to act innocent, but even Amelia began to question him after his outburst on bonfire night. However he was able to sweet talk her around once again. But when he aggressively removes her from the house next week, could that be all she needs to finally see his true colours?

Emmerdale spoilers: Tom and Amelia plan to move away
When Jimmy once again takes Tom’s side, Nicola makes it clear her mind will not be changed. But Tom takes this as a challenge.
To get back in Amelia’s good books, he pretends to pray, leading to them teaming up to change Nicola’s mind.
But their attempt fails, as Nicola seems to get even more annoyed whenever they try to get her on Team Tom. That’s when Tom decides to see how Amelia would feel about moving away together, but Sam overhears and heads straight to the police station.
At the station he is given more bad news, as it seems the police aren’t any closer to charging Tom. The next day Belle is also angry at the lack of progress, and decides to have a day spent relaxing.
Tom’s behaviour continues to be creepy (Credit: ITV)
Other villagers witness Tom’s outburst
That doesn’t last too long as while she’s upstairs in a bath, Tom lets himself in and steals a top from her suitcase. Belle quickly realises the top is missing, and after another run-in with her ex, she is left visibly upset.
Belle later notices Amelia is wearing her top, but after Amelia and Leyla are shocked at the accusation, she runs away in a panic.
Tom’s true colours begin to show once again to Amelia, as he lashes out at her for Belle’s accusation. Things get even worse when he physically forces her out of the house.
Thankfully, his outburst is witnessed by both Jimmy and DS Foy, who is there to bring him back to the station for more questions.
While Tom tries to use his usual tactics of talking himself out of situations, it doesn’t seem this will be that easy.
After seeing his violent side, will Jimmy finally turn his back on his nephew and restore peace with his family? And what exactly are the police questioning Tom about?

Emmerdale tonight (Monday, November 18) saw Chas Dingle and half-brother Caleb Miligan having a heart-to-heart. As Caleb spoke about cheating, Chas made reference to Al Chapman.
As Caleb opened up about daughter Steph, he revealed that Steph’s bad behaviour when she was younger was down to him. He admitted that she’d caught him with another woman.
Caleb shared that he and this other woman had been colleagues. They were getting up to no good while working late together when Steph popped in. Chas then quipped: “Rule one of an affair, don’t get clumsy.”
Back in 2022, Chas famously had an affair with Al Chapman while she was still married to Paddy and Al was dating Kerry Wyatt. The affair was gradually discovered by numerous people, so perhaps Chas should have taken her own advice.
As the subject of Al comes up, we take a look back at his time in the Dales and his relationship with Chas.

Who was Al Chapman in Emmerdale?
Al was a bit of a conman, but that didn’t stop him having a lot of luck with the ladies. Arriving in Emmerdale in 2019 to see son Ellis, Al managed to seduce ex wife Jessie and the pair slept together, resulting in the end of her marriage to Marlon.
Al soon found himself involved in the murder of Graham Foster. Kim Tate offered him money to kill Graham. Someone got there first, but Al pretended he’d done it anyway in order to get the money.
He then started a relationship with Priya, but that came to an end when Debbie Dingle revealed that she’d been having an affair with Al.
Al of course also became sworn enemies with Cain Dingle – which is never a position you want to find yourself in, and it meant Al and the other Dingles clashed constantly.

Emmerdale: Al’s relationship with Chas
Originally, Al tried to seduce Chas as a way to get control over her pub. When Chas’s brother Cain found out about Al’s schemes, he kidnapped Al and threatened him. As you do.
The tension over the pub eventually spilled into passion. After comforting Chas over her mum Faith’s illness, the pair shared a kiss and an affair started between the pair, despite them both having other partners.
Chas even missed her mother’s final moments as she was away at a hotel with Al.
Despite Chas’s recent advice to Caleb to not be clumsy, Al and Chas were not careful and numerous people found out about the affair before Belle revealed all to Chas’s husband Paddy.
What happened to Al?
Given Al’s earlier affair with Cain’s daughter Debbie and Al’s intention to try take the pub from the Dingles, learning that Al was the reason Chas missed their mum’s final moments pushed Cain somewhat over the edge.
Cain grabbed a shotgun and lured Al to the barn. It looked as if he might shoot Al dead, but instead the two ended up fighting.
Cain’s young son Kyle wandered into the barn and upon seeing the fight, he panicked. He picked up the shotgun and aimed it at Al. Al then reached to grab the gun, but Kyle pulled the trigger and Al died from the impact.
Cain took the blame originally, before Kyle confessed to the crime. However, all charges were later dropped as Al’s death was ruled an accident.
