Assuming that Ruby had cheated on him years ago, Caleb kicked off – and kicked her out too. Ruby was devastated to learn that Steph is Anthony’s daughter. Heartbroken as she was, Ruby said nothing, leaving many viewers confused.
To many, Ruby should have revealed the truth to Caleb – that her father raped her as a teenager. The reality, however, is not nearly so simple.

‘Stop victim shaming’ demand Emmerdale fans as Ruby stays silent
Writing on social media, a number of Emmerdale fans defended Ruby’s choice not to tell Caleb, highlighting the terrible position she had been put in.
“She doesn’t tell him because she is protecting Steph. Don’t be so quick to judge and stop victim blaming. Ruby is suffering so much but she wants to protect her daughter from this nightmare. My heart goes out to Ruby she is a great character,” wrote one fan on Instagram.
“Why didn’t she just tell him?†Sadly this isn’t something that is so easy to tell. Esp if she’s been told time and time again that she wouldn’t be believed etc. Hopefully he does find out the truth soon though. Bless her,” said another.
“It’s awful for Ruby. I was shouting at the tv for her to tell Caleb even tho it’s obviously not an easy thing to tell,” a third sympathised.
“People blaming her over something she had no control over and say in,” wrote a fourth.

Ruby Fox-Miligan in Emmerdale has only been in the village for a year, but she’s definitely made her mark and she’s becoming a fan favourite. She is the wife of businessman Caleb Miligan and mum to their son Nicky Miligan, and their estranged daughter, Steph, who recently arrived in Emmerdale.
Ruby’s outspoken and no-holds-barred personality hasn’t always won her many fans, especially at first, but viewers have got to know her now and seen her more vulnerable side.
And the recent arrival of her father, Anthony, that opened up Ruby’s past has left fans in awe of Beth Cordingly, who plays Ruby. It has been revealed that the ruthless, outspoken exterior hides a painful past in which she was sexually abused by her dad.

Who is Ruby Fox Miligan in Emmerdale?
The character made her on-screen debut in January 2024 and it was quite the entrance!
Viewers first caught sight of Ruby when Nate Robinson burst in on her and Caleb romping on the sofa in Mill Cottage.
First impressions of Ruby suggested she was feisty, ruthless and has a lust for the finer things. Caleb’s successful business ventures have afforded them a very comfortable lifestyle, which Ruby clearly enjoys.
Despite Caleb leading everyone to believe he and Ruby were estranged when he first came to the village, the couple are still very much together. Though they’ve had their ups and downs and Caleb revealed to Chas that Steph‘s turbulent childhood was in part due to her finding out about an affair he’d had.
Ruby and Caleb have been an item for over 30 years, since they were teenagers, and she’s clearly very possessive over him.

Ruby’s dramatic arrival
Emmerdale fans aren’t going to forget Ruby’s spicy debut in a hurry.
Ruby was caught enjoying a spot of afternoon delight with Caleb by Nate – who had stormed into Mill Cottage expecting to find his uncle with his wife, Tracy.
She’s no fool and Ruby’s suspicions were quickly aroused. She soon tracked Caleb and Tracy to find out the truth.
Ruby was quick to discover her husband had been playing away (again). She then ensured maximum embarrassment by publicly outing Caleb and Tracy’s affair at Belle and Tom’s wedding reception.
Things are fiery to say the least! (Credit: ITV)
Ruby and Caleb’s relationship in Emmerdale
Ruby and Caleb’s marriage is best described as dysfunctional. The couple have been together for nearly three decades and have certainly had their ups and downs during that time.
Their upbringings couldn’t have been more different. Ruby came from a well-to-do family, while Caleb was raised in the care system.
They met as teenagers and it wasn’t long before Ruby fell pregnant. Her family disapproved of their relationship and forced Ruby to make a choice between them and Caleb, and she opted for the latter. But now we know that’s not actually the full story. More on that later.
Ruby is more than a match for cocky Caleb, and has totally got the measure of him. She’s fully aware of his extramarital antics, and tolerates him cheating while she’s not around. However Tracy was different as she could see he had developed real feelings for his nephew’s wife.
Caleb and Ruby are now officially back together. And she’ll be keeping a very close eye on him – expect fireworks!

She’s a protective mum
Ruby is very close to her only son, Nicky Miligan.
Ruby trusts Nicky with her secrets, but as a result he often found himself caught in the middle of her and Caleb’s problems.
And he definitely doesn’t always approve of his mum’s actions. He moved out of the family home, unable to live with her due to what she did to Ethan. And now he and partner Suni have left the village in order to get some space.

Relationship with Steph
When Ruby first arrived in Emmerdale we didn’t know she and Caleb had a daughter, too. They didn’t speak about Steph until Ruby’s mum died and old family secrets got dragged up.
Now Steph’s arrived in the village wanting her inheritance and with a few scores to settle too. Ruby has desperately been trying to make amends with her daughter, but unfortunately Ruby’s dad comes as part of the package.
Steph has developed a close relationship with the man she believes to only be her grandfather. She has forced Anthony upon Ruby and insisted they get along, or else Ruby will lose Steph for good. But little does Steph – or anyone, in fact – know the terrible secret Ruby has been hiding about her dad since she was a teen.

What happened between Ruby and her dad in Emmerdale?
Ever since Anthony arrived in Emmerdale it has been very clear Ruby can’t bear to be near him. In public, he is charming and generous and everyone in the village loves him. Even Caleb, who believes Anthony threw his wife out because she was pregnant, has warmed to him and has urged Ruby to forgive him. Especially as Anthony claims to be dying from cancer.
Ruby has put on a brave face as much as she can. This despite Anthony’s sinister behaviour and threats to reveal her hook-up with Cain. It was soon very clear to viewers there was much more to this. Then in December 2024, flashbacks to Ruby’s 16th birthday, revealedthat her dad had sexually abused her as a child. It started when Ruby was just 14.
When Ruby fell pregnant she didn’t know if Anthony or Caleb was the father. Desperate to believe it was the man she loved, Ruby left with Caleb. She has kept her secret for over 30 years.
Until now, when Anthony’s presence and the encouragement of Chas, has made Ruby seek answers. However, they were the answers she didn’t want: Caleb is not Steph’s father. This leaves only one outcome: Steph is the product of incest and her grandad is also her dad.
Anthony is set to be murdered in the coming weeks after the truth comes out. But is Ruby the one responsible for ending her father’s life – and easing her own pain after all these years?

Fling with Cain Dingle
In amongst the devastation of having her abusive father back in her life, Ruby started to spiral. She sought solace in Cain’s garage, where he was also seeking comfort at the bottom of a whiskey bottle as his wife, Moira, was having brain surgery.
One thing led to another and Cain and Ruby slept together. Just once. And it was very definitely a mistake, one neither of them wants to repeat.
In fact, now they are just desperate to keep it quiet. But Cain’s guilt is eating away at him, plus Anthony now knows the truth and is using it to blackmail Ruby. Can Cain stop the secret getting out?

Ruby’s mum
When Ruby’s mum was dying, she wanted to see her daughter. But Caleb intercepted the phone call and went to see his mother-in-law, Helen, instead.
He blackmailed Helen into giving him £100,000 and robbed Ruby of the chance to speak to her estranged mum before she died.
But the question remains whether Helen knew of Ruby’s abuse and failed to act? Or was she oblivious to the whole thing?

Is Ruby a killer?
When son Nicky was left in a coma with a bleed on the brain following a car accident, Ruby wanted revenge. Of course she was never going to get revenge through the normal, legal channels and instead drove a car at the person who had been driving when Nicky was hurt.
She knocked down Ethan Anderson and made it very clear next time she would finish the job. However it seems she didn’t have to because despite getting up and walking away, a few days later, Ethan dropped dead.
His father Charles believed it was as a direct result of the hit and run, but Ruby kept quiet over her involvement .
The coroner then confirmed Ethan had a brain aneurism and Ruby was not responsible for Ethan’s death.
They are plotting (Credit: ITV)
Ruby and Rose Jackson
When Dawn Fletcher’s estranged mum, Rose, arrived in the Dales having walked out on her when she was just five years old, it seemed a strange coincidence. But of course, nothing’s ever a coincidence in Soapland and it was soon discovered by viewers Rose hadn’t arrived of her own accord at all.
In fact, Ruby had paid off all her debts in exchange for her help ruining Kim Tate’s life. When Ruby first arrived she had actually tried to team up with Kim to take down Caleb, however, Kim didn’t trust her and Ruby ended up back in Caleb’s arms anyway.

Heartbroken fans of Emmerdale have branded last night’s revelations a step too far – following confirmation of Ruby Fox-Miligan‘s worst fears, as DNA test results revealed that Anthony is indeed Steph’s biological father. Ruby was left reeling.
To make matters worse, it was Caleb who revealed the news, finding the results letter as he poked around in Ruby’s bag. She’d already decided not to open the letter, but the cat was out of the bag now.
And, assuming that she’d betrayed him, Caleb kicked her out, seemingly ending their marriage for good. Ruby was double-devastated, first as her worst fears came true, and then by the apparent collapse of her marriage.

Emmerdale fans slam ‘rank’ Ruby DNA results reveal
In the wake of last night’s bombshell (airing Wednesday, January 15), fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And many agreed that it was a simply too much.
“I’m really going to need there to be a ‘mix up’ with the test results, because this is rank. The story overall is good, but they could have told it without the whole mother/sister angle. Aside from shock value and drawing this out for months, what will it achieve? It’s just a big ick,” wrote one fan on Reddit.
“Bloody well said, a sick story, far too much for what is supposed to be light entertainment,” agreed another disgusted viewer.
“I can’t believe that the writers chose to make Anthony Steph’s biological father, instead of Caleb. Making them mother and daughter, as well as half-sisters, is just disgusting,” said a third.
“I hate it. I can cope with the story overall, but this just feels too much, and now we’re going to be stuck dragging it out for months,” another wrote.

In Emmerdale spoilers tonight, Ruby feels lost and alone after last night’s events. Meanwhile, as Chas attempts to make sense of the situation, the penny finally drops.
Has she realised the truth about Ruby and Anthony?

Emmerdale tonight aired a sickening turn of events when it was revealed who Steph’s dad is. Ruby could barely contain her heartbreak and terror as Caleb ended their marriage. Has she lost everything?
Meanwhile, Ella became Wendy’s next target and Marlon’s health is deteriorating.
Here’s everything that happened in a particularly difficult episode of Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday January 15.
Steph’s father was revealed in Emmerdale tonight
Ruby couldn’t face opening the results and decided she was better not knowing (Credit: ITV)
Ruby decided not to open the DNA results
In the early hours of the morning Ruby agonised over the DNA results and it soon became clear she hadn’t opened them yet.
Meanwhile Anthony was still playing the knight-in-shining armour in the village, helping Arthur with his homework.
Steph decided her mum must be going through the menopause and that’s why she’s so sensitive. But Ruby stormed out.
She went round to see Chas and confessed she was unable to look at the results. She decided she did not want to know and she was going to rip the results up.

Caleb is not Steph’s dad
But back at home, Caleb had a headache and went looking for painkillers in Ruby’s handbag – where he found the DNA results letter. Shaken, he sent Steph off to their meeting alone and sat staring at the envelope.
When Ruby returned, Caleb held out the results letter and asked for answers. “Steph’s not mine,” he shockingly revealed. “0 percent probablity of paternity.”
We feel sick. We genuinely didn’t think Emmerdale would go there.
Ruby also felt horrified as she broke down, struggling to breathe. She begged him to believe she didn’t know for sure and that it didn’t have to change anything.

Caleb ended his marriage – but Ruby didn’t confess
Caleb went ballistic, but still Ruby didn’t tell him what really happened. He wanted to know who Steph’s dad was, but Ruby wouldn’t tell him. He questioned whether it was Rob – or whether she slept around so much even she didn’t know. Ruby begged him to leave it because in every way it mattered Caleb is Steph’s dad.
Caleb told her there was no way back for them and threw her out. He then told Steph they had split up and it was definitely for good. But he couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth about her dad.
Poor Ruby was desperate to keep her family together as she watched Caleb, Steph and Anthony looking close. But she also now has to deal with the consequences of what the DNA results mean.
And she must now confess. She has no choice or else she will lose everything.
Ella was devastated to see her secrets exposed in the paper (Credit: ITV)
Wendy betrayed Ella in Emmerdale tonight
The Hotten Courier had published a story on Ella’s past – we’re looking at you Wendy. They say Ella could be responsible for April’s disappearance.
Ella decided she would go to the journalist and offer to do an interview in exchange for the identity of the person who’d given them the details. Wendy was praised by Ella for being there for her – what a joke.
The journalist then turned up again wanting some more gossip. But would Wendy give in?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Marlon is struggling (Credit: ITV)
Marlon is not well
Rhona was worried sick about Marlon as he went back out to search for April. Laurel offered to accompany him. And all the searching made Marlon forget about picking up Leo.
Marlon is clearly struggling and unwell, but he is carrying on, not listening to reason.
Moira is worried about her sex life
Things were a bit awkward between Moira and Cain as she prepared for her second radiotherapy appointment. Vanessa accompanied Moira to her appointment, where Vanessa confided she and Suzy don’t have time to ‘be’ together any more – do we sense trouble in paradise for Vanessa and Suzy?
Moira also confided her and Cain have stalled a bit in that department – Cain no longer wants to rip her clothes off because of her tumour. You can see his point, he’s trying to look after her, but she thinks he doesn’t find her sexy any more. She has noticed something has shifted between them – so how much long can Cain keep his guilty secret?

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?
In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight, the identity of Steph’s father is dramatically revealed – but who will it be?
Elsewhere, Cain’s guilt continues to eat at him and Laurel gives Anthony an offer.
All of this and more in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight.
What will the DNA test results say? (Credit: ITV)
1. Ruby panics over the DNA results
Last night’s episode (January 14) saw Ruby receive Steph’s DNA results. But before she had a chance to look at them, Caleb came home.
Tonight, Ruby has spent the whole night worrying about it and finally rips open the envelope.
But once again, she is interrupted as Steph arrives downstairs.
2. Chas encourages Ruby
Chas has been a helping hand to Ruby recently, and was even the one to encourage her to get the test done. However, while she knows Ruby was sexually abused, she still remains unaware that it was by Anthony.
In tonight’s episode, Ruby worries about Caleb’s reaction if he isn’t Steph’s dad. But Chas reminds her that he has nothing to forgive.
She tries to tell Ruby that Caleb will remain by her side, no matter what the results say. However, the conversation leaves Ruby adamant that she’s not going to look at them.

3. Caleb opens the results
Caleb still can’t tell something is seriously wrong with his wife – how is he missing it?? And tonight, when he has a headache, he goes looking in Ruby’s bag for some painkillers.
But of course, he finds the DNA test results. Obviously confused, Caleb looks at the envelope.
Ruby then returns home, with her decision to destroy the results. But that plan is thwarted when she walks in to Caleb holding the results. Will he be Steph’s dad? And will Ruby confide in her husband?

4. Anthony’s tutoring continues
The most vile man in the Emmerdale village has been doing a very good job at making friends. And spending a lot of time tutoring the younger characters, including Arthur.
After he was so good at helping him with his homework, an unknowing Laurel arranges for Anthony to give Arthur more tutoring sessions.
Elsewhere…
The last few episodes have been very important for Moira as she started her radiotherapy treatment. But she has been glad to have her loving husband Cain at her side the whole time…
But she still doesn’t know he has been hiding the fact he slept with Ruby while she was in surgery. And so in Emmerdale spoilers for tonight, the Dingle bad boy wonders just how long he can keep his guilty conscious quiet.

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?
Caleb finds the DNA test results (Credit: ITV)
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?
Does Steph kill Anthony? (Credit: ITV)
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.”
Nicola confronts Anthony (Credit: ITV)
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???”
Laurel hits Anthony (Credit: ITV)
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.
Aaron finds himself involved (Credit: ITV)
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.

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week evil Anthony finally gets his comeuppance. But someone’s responsible..
Ruby has had a horrible time ever since her vile dad arrived to the village. After much speculation viewers learned that Anthony had sexually abused her as a child.
Struggling to be around her family, Ruby ordered a DNA test to find out once and for all who Steph’s father is. But now that more poeple know the truth, Anthony’s time is up.
Next week in a flashforward scene we will see a bloody tooth lying on the floor of the Depot. And it doesn’t take long for the pieces to fall together – as Anthony is found dead.
But who murdered him? Well there are six suspects who all look a bit guilty due to many things that happen in the week.
Are Laurel and Nicola responsible? (Credit: ITV)
Was Laurel responsible for Anthony’s death?
When Chas hears that Nicola has left Angelica alone with Anthony, she quickly warns her to get home. Nicola then rushes in and tries to force Anthony out of their house.
Things get physical when Anthony becomes threatening to Nicola but he’s put to a stop when Laurel shows up and hits him over the head with a candlestick.
Later Nicola heads to the hospital to see if he had been admitted, but her questions leave a nurse very suspicious. Meanwhile Laurel is guilt-stricken and seeks guidance at the church.
The Dingles also look suspicious in Emmerdale spoilers
Chas tells Cain what happened. Could they take revenge for Ruby? (Credit: ITV)
Chas and Cain
Elsewhere, Chas is struggling with the knowledge of Anthony and Ruby’s past. When Cain visits her, his immediate concern is that she knows about his and Ruby’s one night stand.
After some persuading, Chas decides to tell Cain the truth – and he is left shaken.
Aaron
Aaron can relate to Ruby’s history, as he we know he was sexually abused by his own dad. So when he spots an unguarded moment between Anthony and Ruby, it leaves him feeling unnerved.
Caleb
Caleb finally knows the truth about his father-in-law – and why Ruby has been acting off recently. So it’s no surprise that he may want to take some revenge.
Spotting them together, he pulls up and demands Anthony gets into his car. But what exactly is his plan?
Not long after, a gun shot is heard and one of Emmerdale’s most evil characters is found dead. While his bloody tooth is still on the floor of the Depot. Just what has happened? And when Steph wonders where her grandfather is, will his murder be discovered?
And who was responsible? Everyone is looking quite guilty right about now…

Ruby agnonises over the DNA test results
Ruby returns home with a letter containing the DNA test results. Having not yet opened it, she is anxious about what news it contains.
When Caleb returns home unexpectedly, she stuffs the letter into her handbag. The next morning, after a sleepless night, Ruby finally tears open the envelope, ready to read the contents.
However, she’s interrupted yet again, when Steph comes downstairs. Overwhelmed, Ruby seeks guidance from Chas, who tries to reassure her that Caleb won’t turn his back on Steph – even if the results confirm the worst.
Will Chas realise the truth about Ruby’s pain?

Caleb stumbles across the truth
Ruby decides that it would be better to destroy the test results without looking at them. However, back at home, Caleb suffers a headache and goes looking for painkillers in Ruby’s bag.
He’s shocked when he finds an envelope with the return address of a DNA testing company printed on the back. Returning home, Ruby is horrified to find her bag open, and Caleb holding the results in his hand.
What do the results reveal – and will their marriage survive?

The Emmerdale rumour mill has been thrown into overdrive after the soap aired a series of flash-forwards depicting one character trapped under a sheet of ice. Further details have revealed that this follows a terrible car crash in which a number of characters wind up in grave danger, with one resident trapped beneath the ice.
But whose hand can be seen under the ice? With a number of exits announced, some have speculated that this could play into the upcoming departure of Leyla, Brenda or Ella from the soap – but there’s also Anthony, who is living on borrowed time after news of his abusing Ruby begins to spread.
“Think that might be Leyla, maybe a car crashes into the lake or the quarry pool ? Won’t be for the first time…!” suggested one fan.
“That’s Leyla under the ice, its how she gets killed off!” another wrote, confidently.

2. Anthony
While there isn’t much evidence to suggest it, many viewers are hoping that it’s resident monster Anthony Fox who finds his way into a watery grave.
“I hope it’s Anthony buried under the ice,” said one fan.
“Anthony’s hand!!” a second speculated.
A suitably horrible end to a truly vile figure – but is this how things play out?

3. Caleb
Another flash-forward showed Caleb lying in intensive care, fighting for his life. This could be a result of his falling in the water and getting trapped under the ice.
“What if Caleb, Ruby and Steph are driving, accidentally run over Leyla and have to hide it for some reason?” asked one fan. “As they play the blame game with each other or try to get their story straight, they crash into the frozen lake. Ruby and Steph get out, but Caleb gets stuck, probably because he was trying to save them.”

4. Fans hope that Dawn dies in the ice in Emmerdale
Some viewers have wondered whether Dawn’s ongoing vendetta with Kim Tate could see her dying while Kim looks on.
“I really, really, really hope that it’s dismal (Dawn) trapped under the ice. Kim sees her trapped but does nothing to help and dismal can see her through the ice, not lifting a finger,” said one fan.
Joe’s back… but for how long? (Credit: ITV)
5. Joe
He’s only been back in the dales a few months, but fans have speculated that Joe Tate might not have long left.
“I think it is Joe under the ice, and possibly Dawn put him there. She does think Joe caused Will’s death, and everyone hates Joe. He is already making more enemies than he had before. Joe could definitely be either under the ice or in the body bag,” wrote one fan.
Is Billy dead wood? (Credit: ITV)
Whose hand is under the ice in Emmerdale?
6. Billy
Another popular theory is Billy. And, given that the hand appears to belong to a married man, he’s a strong contender.
“I 100% think it’s Billy,” theorised one viewer.
“The hand looked like a man’s hand to me. My guess is Billy. They showed Dawn’s face before the flash scene and the hand has a wedding ring on it,” another speculated.
“My prediction of the person trapped under the ice, especially as the people shown just prior to the scene were Dawn and Joe. They both have an affair and Joe tries to bump Billy off but he manages to survive,” a third said.
Stars Lisa Riley and Paula Lane have been filming together (Credit: ITV)
7. Ella or Mandy
Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, gave a hint that she and co-star Paula Lane were both involved in a night shoot, potentially to do with the icy stunt.
“Love this girl so much, Paula Lane,†Lisa wrote on social media as she shared a picture of them both. “Cheeky Christmas lunch together at before we have a night shoot at Emmerdale tonight. The Christmas spirit in here is sparkling.â€
This comes following news that Ella Forster will also be leaving the soap this year. Actress Paula Lane’s agency has said she will only be filming Emmerdale until February – meaning that Ella’s exit is imminent. Is she in terrible danger?
