In Emmerdale this week, Anthony Fox is killed. But fans are convinced there is a twist.
Recent scenes saw Anthony outed for his sexual abuse of daughter Ruby when she was a teenager. In a flash forward scene he was shown dead on the floor with blood pouring from him.
Emmerdale Insider readers believe there is more to the situation than meets the eye and have suggested that none of the obvious suspects are responsible for Anthony’s death.

Anthony dies in Emmerdale
During Monday’s episode (January 20), word spread about Anthony’s history. As the episode went on, the suspects for his murder mounted up.
As the episode drew to a close, Caleb Miligan approached his father-in-law and demanded he get in his car with him. A flashforward scene then showed Anthony laying in a puddle of blood.
Ruby, Caleb, Chas, Cain, Aaron and Laurel have been named as suspects, and spoilers for Tuesday’s episode show Caleb pointing a gun at Anthony, but does he pull the trigger?

Fans predict a twist
An exclusive poll for Emmerdale Insider has revealed that 62% of fans believe Emmerdale is tricking us and the culprit won’t be any of the main suspects.
Those fans have their own theories over what happened. Despite Caleb holding the gun, one fan insisted: “It’s never the obvious one.”
Many believe Steph Miligan will be the killer. “The granddaughter will hear them and she will kill him,” wrote one viewer, while another agreed, writing: “I think Steph overhears what’s happening and pulls the trigger.” A third fan said: “Maybe Steph shoots him, plot twist.”
Other fans have a theory that Anthony will take his own life. One fan predicted: “Caleb hands the gun to Anthony and tells him to do the right thing.”
While some viewers even believes Anthony’s death will be an accident. One fan wrote on Instagram: “He will slip, trip and fall, he [Caleb] won’t shoot him.” Another fan added: “He might just collapse from his head injury?”

Emmerdale had revealed in advance that Anthony would meet a grisly end this week. Tonight, a gunshot rings out. But who pulls the trigger?
The revelation that Anthony abused his daughter Ruby when she was just 14 has angered a lot of people, so there is no shortage of possible suspects.
Tonight, Caleb arrives at the barn with Anthony. Anthony grows increasingly uneasy about what Caleb has planned and is reluctant to go inside. However, he soon does as he is told when Caleb points a gun at him.
Once in the barn, Anthony attempts to gaslight Caleb over Ruby’s accusations. Caleb isn’t falling for it though and demands the truth from Anthony, leaving Anthony feeling rattled that his lies aren’t working.
Caleb then decides to subject Anthony to a version of Russian Roulette. Anthony is told he will die unless he can finally admit the truth.
We know a gunshot is heard and we know Anthony will die, but is Caleb the one responsible?

Chas backtracks on what she told Nicola and Laurel. They’re both left incredulous – secretly believing that Anthony’s disappearance is in some way down to them. Well, Laurel did whack him with a candlestick last week.
They pretend to be grateful to Chas for setting things straight, but Laurel is panicking. In spite of Nicola’s best efforts, Laurel is determined to tell the truth and go to the police. Can Nicola talk Laurel around?

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Laurel Thomas decides to confess the truth about her attack on Anthony after Chas backtracks on her earlier claim about him being a danger to children. Having figured out that Anthony raped Ruby as a teenager, a horrified Chas blurted out the truth to Nicola, fearful that he might try something with her daughter, Angelica.
And, horrified to hear that Anthony could be a danger to Angelica, Nicola had confronted him, causing him to turn violent.
And, as Anthony grew forceful with Nicola, Laurel leapt to the rescue – whacking Anthony with a candlestick. Anthony then disappeared, leading Laurel to wonder whether she had killed the old man.
But, as Chas acts to cover for Ruby, Nicola begins to wonder whether she might have attacked an innocent man. Can Nicola talk her out of going to the police?

Emmerdale spoilers: Chas covers her tracks

Anthony doesn’t have long left as flash-forwards showed his bloody body lying on the floor in the Depot in Emmerdale tonight.
And, a certain someone (cough, cough, Caleb) looked rather suss as he lured Anthony into his car with a gun behind his back.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday January 20.

Chas let Cain in on Ruby’s secret
Chas was clearly struggling tonight after working out who Steph’s biological father actually was last week.
Cain (obviously worried that Chas had rumbled his fling with Ruby) was desperate to understand what was troubling his sister. When he realised the secret was to do with Caleb, he really started to sweat.
Chas then started linking everything back to Aaron’s experience with Gordon, which is what then made Cain add everything up and come to the truth about Ruby, Anthony and Steph.

Nicola and Laurel teamed up to take on Anthony
With Nicola enlisting Anthony to tutor Anthony, she decided to leave them to it whilst she headed to work. But, her shift wasn’t very long at all as after Chas filled her in on Anthony’s true nature, Nicola legged it back home and made sure her daughter was safe.
Sending a really confused Angelica off to her exam early, Nicola then confronted Anthony. When he suggested that Ruby was lying about everything, Nicola pulled out her phone to call her so that she could hear her side of things.
But Anthony soon showed his true colours and wrestled with Nicola to grab her phone. But, as luck and great timing would have it, Laurel was popping into Nicola’s for a cuppa and saw the whole commotion go down.
In true Cluedo style (it was Laurel, in the Kings’ living room, with a candlestick), Laurel whacked Anthony on the head unconscious. But… he got right back up alive and still kicking.
Disorientated, Anthony wandered off into the village with a bit of a bleed at the back of his head, with Nicola and Laurel rushing off back inside the house to conjure up a way they could avoid prison.
Fortunately for them, Anthony explained the gash as being the result of having one too many the night before.

Caleb had a plan for his Father-in-Law
Flash-forwards at the start and end of the episode saw the end of Anthony as Ruby’s abusive father suffered his demise.
A bloody tooth could be seen on the floor of the Depot, with Anthony’s lifeless and bloodied up body being shown at the end of the episode.
And… it doesn’t look too good for Caleb in the grand scheme of things. He’s looking a tad suss (okay, a huge amount of suss.)
With Anthony feeling all sorry for himself on a bench outside, he planned on meeting Steph at the Depot. But, that’s when Caleb pulled up and tried to act like Anthony’s best mate.
How could Anthony possibly refuse the offer of a lift from kind and generous Caleb who had no ulterior motive whatsoever?
How was he to know that Caleb had a gun up his back, ready to get revenge for everything he did to Ruby? Well… it’s unclear whether Caleb finishes Anthony off, but he’s definitely not planning on having a coffee and a chat with him, that’s for sure.

Joe and Kim remembered Graham (Credit: ITV)
Kim and Joe remembered Graham
Poor Graham died in 2020 at the hands of Pierce Harris. And now, five years later, on the anniversary of his death, Graham was remembered by both Joe and Kim.
At the graveyard, Kim mourned Will whilst also remembering Graham with Joe. Joe then proved that he was there for Kim, giving her some words of wisdom… but, we still don’t trust him.
“You’re Kim Tate. You’ve got an empire to run.” Wise words. Maybe Kim will finally remember who she is and reclaim her power. She’s got the hat, now where’s the rest?
Dawn had her doubts
Kim headed back home after chatting with Joe and decided to offer Dawn a job working full-time at Home Farm Estates. Quite the offer considering the terms Kim and Dawn have been on recently.
Dawn was thrilled but then started to suspect that Joe might’ve been behind the whole idea. He’d be her boss… That sounds like a right recipe for disaster!
Joe gave Noah a gift in Emmerdale tonight
With Charity out and only Noah home, Joe turned up and presented him with a gift. His dad’s watch.
It was apparently the only thing Joe had left of his dad, but he was prepared to hand it over to Noah in a bid to get closer to him. Â Must’ve been an emotional moment for him.
Noah vowed to wear it all the time but he clearly hasn’t thought that one through. What will Charity make of it when she spots it on his wrist? We can only imagine.

In Emmerdale tonight, flash-forwards showed a dead Anthony on the floor… and in real-time we also saw Caleb with a gun, but did he kill him?.
As Caleb lured Anthony into his car, it was clear that he had a sinister plan for Ruby’s abusive father.
But, is it ever really as obvious as it looks in soap? Does Caleb actually pull the trigger of the gun and end Anthony’s life?

Emmerdale tonight: Caleb had a sinister plan for Anthony
This evening in the Dales (Monday, January 20), a flash forward showed a bloody tooth on the floor. Sometime later, another flash forward showed a lifeless Anthony with a tooth missing, surrounded by a pool of blood.
Before all this went down, in the present day, Anthony received a whack on the head by Laurel and a handy candlestick as she walked in on him wrestling Nicola for her phone.
Nicola had realised that he was a danger to children (thanks Chas for the heads up) and rushed back home to stop his tutoring session with Angelica.
After being knocked out, Anthony rose back up like the walking dead and headed out of the door with a cut on the back of his head.
He sat on a bench and assured Leyla (who made a rather random appearance passing by probably so we remember she exists ahead of her upcoming exit) that he was fine. Arranging to meet Steph at the Depot, Anthony turned his head to see Caleb.
Caleb then offered to take Anthony to the Depot in his car, but Anthony felt pressured to accept the lift (Caleb wasn’t asking him, he was telling him).
Anthony was completely oblivious though to the fact that Caleb had a gun tucked away under his jumper…

Does Caleb actually kill Anthony?
So, we’re all wondering… what does Caleb have planned for Anthony? Well, it looks as though he’s out for his blood as spoilers for tomorrow’s episode (Tuesday, January 21) reveal that Caleb forces Anthony to follow him into a secluded barn whilst pointing the gun at him.
Anthony being Anthony of course tries to lie his way out of the situation but Caleb then makes the situation even more terrifying by turning it into a game of Russian Roulette (he’s clearly been watching too much of Squid Game.)
Anthony’s then prompted to tell the truth before Caleb pulls the gun’s trigger…
We know that this week, a gunshot is heard. But, will Caleb kill Anthony? Or, is he just playing a very scary game?

The truth about Anthony is out and Caleb is out for revenge in Emmerdale spoilers for next week.
For a while now Caleb has been in the dark about Anthony’s vile actions towards Ruby. But now the truth is out and his anger is evident.
If there’s one thing the Dingles are – it’s protective about their own. And so when Anthony turns up dead – who is the culprit?
Viewers are finally getting their wish for Anthony to be gone. But his exit from the show turns someone from the village into a murderer.

Caleb wants revenge for Ruby in Emmerdale spoilers
At the start of the week we see a flash-forward that shows a bloody human tooth lying on the floor of Caleb’s Depot.
Having kicked Anthony out, Caleb and Ruby are trying to put their relationship back on track. But Steph remains in the dark about the truth.
The news spreads throughout the Dingles. Cain is also left horrified to hear about the news – especially after his recent concerns about Anthony.
Aaron also becomes wary whenever he spots a tense conversation between Ruby and Anthony. But then Caleb pulls up beside them and orders his vile father-in-law to get into his car.
While we don’t know exactly what he has planned, we’re sure it’s nothing good.

Who killed Anthony?
Completely unaware of anything that is going on, Steph grows confused and concerned about Anthony failing to meet her.
Not long after Caleb drives off, a gunshot is heard and Anthony is found dead. We know Caleb got his hands on a gun, so did he decide murder was the way to get revenge for his wife?
To make matters worse, Anthony’s tooth remains on the floor of Caleb’s depot, so is that where he was brought to die?
Could Laurel and Nicola have something to do with Anthony’s murder? During the week Chas warns Nicola that she shouldn’t leave Angelica alone with Anthony as he isn’t trusted around kids.
So when Nicola demands he leaves the house, things turn physically threatening. But as Anthony gets aggressive, Laurel arrives in time to hit him over the head with a candlestick.
Nicola then visits the hospital to see if Anthony has been admitted, but this just leaves a nurse suspicious.
Whether it is Caleb who pulls the trigger remains to be seen. But we do know there are a lot of people who want rid of Anthony – just like the Emmerdale viewers.

It seems a lot of people are out to get revenge on what the disgusting man did to Ruby when she was younger. And someone will succeed.
Emmerdale released a brand new trailer and it puts some of our favourite characters in centre stage. But fans think they can rule one character out.

Emmerdale release new trailer of Anthony Fox’s murder
Scenes in the spoiler clip shows Chas warn Nicola that Anthony should not be allowed to be alone with Angelica. Then not long after that Laurel and Nicola are standing over his bloody body.
But that’s not all. Cain is seen trying to give Ruby some advice. She’s heard pleading: “I just want to keep a lid on this.” To which the Dingle responds: “Then that’s what we will do.”
Other clips saw Aaron spot Anthony grab Ruby’s arm. But Caleb appears and orders his disgusting father-in-law into his car. Then we see him with a gun behind his back.
At the end of the Emmerdale spoiler trailer, Caleb and Cain are spotted sitting down looking quite guilty holding a gun. Then the camera pans to Anthony’s lifeless body.
But it was this final clip that made fans think Caleb and Cain aren’t actually guilty.
Is Caleb a red herring in the new Emmerdale trailer? (Credit: ITV)
Fans convinced Caleb isn’t the murderer
One wrote on social media: “Well, Caleb’s holding the gun so I don’t think it’s him that kills Ruby’s dad. I bet he fires it to scare him. I think it will be Steph who deals the fatal blow.”
Another agreed: “Caleb holding the gun has to be a red herring. Maybe Cain and him cover it up for someone.”
The trailer has been praised by fans, as it seems next week will be a huge week for the village.
One wrote: “Should be renamed Horrordale. And I’m so here for it.”
A second added: “This looks horrifyingly good! I can’t wait to watch!”
While the trailer shows a lot, we still just have to wait and see who actually is responsible for Anthony’s murder.
However, one thing is for sure, next week in Emmerdale is unmissable.
In this evening’s episode, Chas, drawing on her own son Aaron’s awful experience with his dad, put two and two together.
As Ruby’s teenage best friend Rob revealed she was always scared of her father, realisation dawned for Chas.
Though Caleb was a bit slower to work it all out, Chas listened to what Rob was saying about how Caleb was the only lad in Ruby’s life back when they were teenagers.
“Who was she really scared of?” Chas asked Caleb as the horrible truth fell into place. “I think Anthony was abusing Ruby, and I think he fathered Steph.”
Chas worked everything out (Credit: ITV)
Caleb makes an awful discovery in Emmerdale
Evil Anthony also knows that he’s Steph’s dad – Ruby told him in a confrontation at the B&B. But she swore that she wasn’t going to tell anyone – ever – because she doesn’t want Steph to find out.
But now Caleb and Chas know, it’s only a matter of time before the whole family – and probably the rest of the village – finds out, too.
So what will happen next?

Anthony’s murdered!
Well! We don’t have long to wait for Anthony to get his comeuppance because by the end of next week’s episodes, he’ll be dead!
But who’s killed him?
As the week begins we see a flashforward showing a human tooth, knocked out and bloodied, on the floor of the depot. YUCK.
Back the present, Anthony’s slept on the sofa at Laurel’s. When Chas spots him tutoring Angelica, she’s concerned. She warns Nicola that he’s not safe to be around teenage girls.

The suspects line up
Nicola calls off the tutoring session and Anthony’s panic turns to anger as he worries that his secret’s out. Things get physical and he threatens Nicola – only for Laurel to dramatically whack him with a candlestick, leaving Anthony out cold!
Meanwhile, when Cain finds Chas upset in the backroom at the pub, he gets her to open up. But he’s shocked by what she tells him.
Aaron spots Anthony with Ruby, and realises how scared Ruby is of her dad – recognising his own experiences in her reactions.
And Caleb pulls up next to Anthony in his car and orders him to get in.
The next day, a shot rings out in the village, while Anthony’s nowhere to be seen. But it’s not until the following day when someone finds him dead.
Who is the killer? Could it really be Laurel? Or might it be someone closer to home?

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?
