Instead they think it will be Steph, Ruby and Caleb’s daughter, who forces the secret out.
Around the same time as Cain and Ruby, Steph herself had a bunk-up with Emmerdale bad boy Ross Barton. So when Caleb spotted the morning after pill packaging in the rubbish, he just assumed it was hers.
However, we know it was actually Ruby’s. And, as Emmerdale made a point of showing Caleb find the packaging, everyone believes that will have to play into the reveal.

Emmerdale theory suggests pregnancy for Steph
One new theory suggests Steph may actually be pregnant with Ross’ baby, and so obviously Caleb will then question what he found – leading to a huge bombshell hitting him and Moira.
The Emmerdale theory was first posted on a Reddit thread, and fans were quick to agree that it made sense.
One commented: “She will at least have a pregnancy scare and this is how Caleb will realise the morning-after pill packaging he found in the trash was not Steph’s.”
Another added: “I can totally see this happening!”
“They also made a point of showing the ‘this never happened’ text that Ruby sent to Cain. Either Caleb or Moira will see it,” a third penned.
Although, while many agreed, another fan suggested an alternative that would also bring another side to Anthony into the mix.
They wrote: “I thought Ruby’s dad would somehow figure out about Ruby and Cain. He could blackmail her about keeping quiet so he could stay in the village.”
Anthony’s mood is darkened as he learns about Tracy and Caleb’s affair from Brenda. Viewers will remember that before Ruby’s arrival in January, Caleb embarked on an affair with his nephew’s wife. The affair was exposed to all at Tom and Belle’s wedding when Ruby stood up and announced it to everyone.
Anthony confronts his son-in-law about the affair, but Anthony’s persistent questioning unsettles Ruby.
Meanwhile, optimistic Ruby makes inroads into repairing her relationship with Steph, but allusions to the past from Anthony leave Ruby feeling uneasy again – despite her desire to move forward.

Special flashback episode
In the present day, Steph finds a photo of Ruby on her 16th birthday. Ruby pretends she doesn’t remember that day, but it’s clear something is troubling her.
We then go back to 1992 and the day of Ruby’s 16th birthday. Ruby recalls getting on well with teenage Rob. But soon, the audience will get a glimpse into Ruby’s past… what happened to her?
Steph later tries to bring the family together. Will she be successful?

Sometimes soaps air a storyline that has so many twists and turns that it’s hard for anybody to keep up. That seems to be the case with the current Emmerdale Kim and Will storyline.
However, in doing so it has created an extremely baffling storyline that fans feel has gone on for too long.
Are Kim and Will together again? Who is playing who? And is Will just impossible to kill? Here is a round-up of what’s going on, including fan theories on what’s to come.
Emmerdale Kim and Will’s baffling storyline (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale Kim and Will – what’s happened
Emmerdale’s Kim and Will were a perfectly happily married couple. Fans were enjoying seeing them live their lives as a team. But when the show introduced Dawn’s mother, Rose, Will couldn’t resist going back to his past for a one-night stand.
Obviously this was not going to ever go down well with the iconic Kim Tate. And so when Will kept receiving blackmail messages, he never considered it could be his wife – but it was.
Eventually the couple decided to call time on their romance. But the end of their love story marked the beginning of a war.
The nasty divorce proceedings led Kim to hiring a financial advisor, Peter. The two then had a romantic encounter which led to Will confronting him.
Not wanting Will to get his hands on her wealth, Kim also teamed up with recently returned Ross Barton to remove her husband from the village.
While she didn’t mean Ross should kill him – that’s what he almost did – until Will rocked up at Home Farm, alive and angry.
Kim was shocked at her own happiness at seeing Will alive, and the couple called time on their feud and their divorce, to give their relationship another go.
But in another huge twist, viewers saw Will meet up with Peter revealing they had secretly been working together to bring Kim down. When Will informed him he wanted out, Peter reminded him that wasn’t possible.
After Ross informed Will of how Kim’s main concern was covering up his death when she thought he was gone, Will began to question if Peter was right. And so once again, Will is working against Kim.
And fans were treated to a mysterious phone call between Peter and an unknown person talking about “Operation destroy Kim.” But who was on the other line?

Kim and Will theories in Emmerdale
Kim’s playing him
While many fans believe the back and forth between them is unnecessary and there was no need to wreck their relationship, many have thought of theories that could put Emmerdale queen Kim Tate on top.
After last night’s reveal that Will is still working against Kim, fans can’t help but think she is actually the one playing him. Because how could Kim Tate fall for his lies?
One wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Kim’s too smart for this. She must be playing Will at his own game.”
Another agreed: “This is deffo Kim’s plan. Will is just falling for it.”
“Kim must be playing Will. She can’t really be back with him,” another fan pleaded.
So is Kim really the mastermind behind the whole thing? And has she realised if she wants Will out of the village, she has to do it herself?
Are the Tates involved?
Other fan theories include Peter teaming up with other Tate members to take Kim down. Some who live in the village and others who don’t.
When Caleb first arrived in 2022, it was revealed he was the son of Frank Tate and that he was there to get what he felt belonged to him. This led to a feud between him and Kim, and while he may have failed the first time, could he be attempting another takedown?
Or could Peter actually be teaming up with Kim’s son, Jamie Tate? He is currently in hiding with his daughter, Millie, after faking his own death to get away from Kim. So does he want to come back to the village, but he knows he needs rid of his mother first?
Although a different much-loved Tate could be wanting to take back Home Farm. Fan favourite Joe Tate is still out there somewhere, and he still has a score to settle with Kim – so could it be him? Fans have been saying he needs to make a comeback..
While there could be many different outcomes, fans hope they don’t have long to wait to find out who the mastermind is.

Cain Dingle has been at the heart of the action in Emmerdale for nearly quarter of a century. Next year, will mark the character’s 25th anniversary in the Yorkshire based soap, and what an incredible journey he’s had.
One of the show’s all time greats, Cain Dingle has seen and done it all. He’s schemed and cheated, spent time in prison, survived countless attempts on his life, and seduced a lot of ladies into bed.
Now he’s moved into a new chapter in his life as the new head of the Dingle clan, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. As we prepare for the wild ride ahead we thought we’d look back on some of his biggest moments.
So here are Cain Dingle‘s best bits – the good, bad and ugly…
Cain was horrified to discover Uncle Zak was actually his dad (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Best Cain Dingle moments in Emmerdale: Discovering Zak was his real dad
Cain arrived in Emmerdale on March 30, 2000 for the funeral of his cousin, Butch. Being the designated black sheep of the family, Cain had grown up believing his father was Shadrach. But in fact, he was the fruit of his Uncle Zak’s loins.
On Valentine’s Day 1974, Zak had a one-night stand with his sister-in-law, and Cain’s mother, Faith, which resulted in her falling pregnant. Nine months later Cain was born, and it was assumed he was Shadrach’s son.
The truth came out in 2001 during a heated exchange between Zak and Cain. The angry duo were about to come blows when Cain uttered those familiar words: “You can’t tell me what to do”. Zak’s wife Lisa, who was trying to pull them apart cried, “Tell him”, and with that Zak revealed he was Cain’s real father. Cain did not take the news well and branded Zak a ‘dirty liar’. He eventually came round and accepted Zak as his dad, with the pair even becoming close.
With Zak’s sad passing in October 2024, Cain has now assumed his role as head of the Dingle family.
Cain and Angie’s dangerous romance ended in tragedy (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
He’d had his eye on Angie for months, and it was clear her ‘disdain’ for him was masking a secret desire. So when Angie found out her husband Sean had cheated she decided to do the same.
Bedding the local criminal gave Angie a real thrill, but the excitement soon wore off. Cain got pied and was devastated. But instead of fighting for the woman he’d grown to love, Cain went down the seedy route and slept with Angie’s teenage daughter, Ollie, in revenge.
Sickened by Cain’s actions, Angie decided to frame him for a robbery, but the plan went disastrously wrong. Angie was fatally injured in a car chase and died in Cain’s arms as he pleaded with her to tell him she loved him.
These emotional, raw scenes proved Cain was capable of loving someone other than himself.
Cain and Charity have a whole lotta history (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
His escapades with Charity
Cain’s closet is full of skeletons, so it came as little surprise to the viewers when it was discovered he’d had a fling with his second cousin, Charity.
The pair’s explosive romance was a huge part of Cain’s early years in the village. Charity was undoubtedly his first love and together they created one of Emmerdale’s strongest ever partnerships. But it’s not all been hearts and flowers – Cain and Charity have loved and hated each other in equal measures.
It all started as a dalliance when they were underage teens, but the spark was still there as adults. After being reunited with their daughter Debbie Dingle, Cain and Charity resumed their affair. Fans couldn’t get enough of the couple’s antics. Not only were Cain and Charity compatible in the bedroom, they also made formidable partners in crime. With their penchant for illegal scams, these two became the Dales’ answer to Bonnie and Clyde.
In 2009, Cain decided he wanted to make an honest woman out of Charity. He popped the question with a plastic engagement ring – who said romance was dead?
They almost made it down the aisle, but then Charity decided she wasn’t ready for marriage. She and Cain split shortly afterwards.
In the years since, there have been a few steamy liaisons, as well as a brief affair in 2016. But whether they’ll ever get it on again is anyone’s guess!
Cain and Sadie mixed business with pleasure (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Best Cain moments in Emmerdale: Scheming with Sadie King
Cain always works best when he’s teamed up with a strong woman, who will give him as good as she’s got.
Scheming Sadie King (Jimmy’s first wife) enlisted his services to prevent Charity from marrying her millionaire father-in-law, Tom King. Sadie, who was already sleeping with Cain, asked her lover to seduce Charity and take photos.
He did as he was told and Sadie stopped the wedding by showing Tom the incriminating snaps. He jilted Charity at the altar and Sadie was victorious.
Having no further purpose for Cain, Sadie dumped him. And how did he respond? By killing her beloved pet dog, Damon, that’s how!
But Cain wasn’t done there. After pretending to shoot Sadie – which was all part of a scam to extort money from the Kings – Cain made off with the money and left Sadie with nothing!

Fathering four kids
Less of a moment, but more of a journey. Cain’s development from selfish singleton to devoted dad has been an interesting one to watch.
Cain is a four by four – meaning he’s got four kids with as many women.
First up is Debbie, his only daughter, who was the product of his teenage fling with Charity. Debbie came back into Cain’s life when she was a preteen and over the years they were able to establish a close bond.
Cain’s next child was Nate Robinson. He came to the village out for revenge on the man who abandoned him, and set about seducing Cain’s wife, Moira. When the affair and Nate’s true identity was revealed it turned out Cain never even knew of Nate’s existence. Nate is now living in Shetland, and he and Cain aren’t on speaking terms.
His other two lads are Kyle Winchester, who was conceived after Cain seduced a young Amy Wyatt, and Isaac, from his marriage to Moira.
Cain and Moira’s chemistry has always been on point (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
At the time their fling started, Moira was married to farmer John Barton. But if there’s one thing that gets Cain going then it’s the thrill of the chase. Passions first ignited in Cain’s garage, then the lusty duo couldn’t keep their hands off one another.
Moira dumped Cain after he outed their betrayal to John, and the fans were gutted. They wanted more, and their wish was granted when Coira resumed their romance after John’s death in 2012.
They became husband and wife in 2014, but thankfully Cain and Moira haven’t turned into a boring married couple. Their ten-year union has been littered with betrayals (on both sides), and full of drama.
Now they’re facing their toughest challenge yet as Moira has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. And while she was on the operating table, Cain had a bunk-up with sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan. Not his finest hour and the less said about that, the better.

Who Attacked Cain in Emmerdale?
Cain was the centre of a huge whodunnit (aka Judgement Day) when he was bludgeoned with a crowbar and left for dead.
The attack took place in December 2011, at a time where Cain had stacked up a rather large enemy count. Those in the frame for the attack included Moira and her husband John, Cain’s 17-year old baby mumma Amy Wyatt, and Charity’s boyfriend, Jai Sharma.
But in the end it turned out the mystery assailant was Cain’s own dad, Zak. He’d grown tired of his son’s continual bad behaviour and felt Cain needed to be taught a lesson for disgracing the Dingle family name.
Zak finally ‘fessed up after realising Cain’s love rival Jai had been charged with the crime.
Cain was horrified, but eventually forgave his dad and went on to make a full recovery.

His other brushes with death
Cain is Emmerdale’s own Lazarus – seriously, the guy is indestructible!
He survived having his skull smashed in by Zak, but that’s not the only time Cain has cheated death.
In revenge for destroying his parent’s marriage, Adam Barton set fire to Cain’s garage with him inside – but he somehow live to tell the tell. A couple of years later, Cain was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and nearly drowned in a freezing river after refusing to have it operated on.
What else? Well. Cain survived an explosion after trying to have Nate killed for sleeping with Moira. He suffered a near-fatal brain injury during a violent punch up with nephew Aaron, and most recently he cheated death rescuing Moira from a burning burn.
How does he do it?!
Cain’s been to bed with a vicar too (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)Â
Best Cain moments in Emmerdale: An unlikely romance with Harriet
What’s the one about the local bad boy seducing the village vicar?
Cain started a scandalous affair with police-officer-turned-clergywoman, Harriet Finch in 2017 after he and Moira temporarily split. After enjoying secret romps in the church vestry, Harriet, like many women before her, found herself falling for Cain.
While things were good, Cain and Harriet made an exciting couple. But deep down Harriet, and everyone else, knew Cain was still in madly love with Moira.
Their relationship eventually fizzled and Cain went back to his wife.

Losing Faith
One of Cain’s most heartbreaking and human moments came in 2022 with the death of his mum, Faith.
The pair had a complicated history due Faith walking out on Cain when he was 12-years-old. Faith turned up in Emmerdale in 2017 to make amends, but Cain wasn’t interested in getting to know her.
They eventually made their peace after Faith was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Deciding she wanted to die on her own terms, Faith planned to end her own life with an overdose of morphine.
Cain was by Faith’s side in her final moments. Cradling his mum in his arms, Cain apologised for his past behaviour and told Faith he loved her – three words that she’d longed to hear.
These highly emotional scenes won praise amongst viewers and showed a tender side to Cain we rarely see.

Taking the rap for Kyle
Family loyalty is everything to Cain and he proved it when he made the ultimate sacrifice for his son, Kyle.
Al Chapman’s murder was one of those great OMG moments in Emmerdale. At first, it seemed Cain had killed his nemesis in revenge for his affair with Chas. But it turned out Al was gunned down by timid 10-year-old, Kyle.
In the aftermath of the shocking crime, Cain vowed to protect his son. He ‘confessed’ and was sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He’d still be there if Kyle hadn’t done the right thing by owning up.
Cain reunited with Caleb in Emmerdale
Imagine a slightly younger Cain, but with all the same bad boy traits. Well, that’s his younger brother, Caleb Miligan.
Despite their similarities, the Dingle brothers did not grow up together. While Cain was raised by his family, Caleb was brought up in the care system and had a miserable time.
His arrival to the Dales in Christmas 2022 came as a huge shock for Cain. It had been three decades since they’d crossed paths and it turned out Cain had lied to Caleb by telling him Faith had died years previously.
After a rocky start, the pair finally started to get along. It’s been up and down, but Cain and Caleb have forged a strong bond. We think he’s going to prove a useful ally in the future.

A new fan theory predicts Ruby Miligan in Emmerdale may have been abused by her father, Anthony. And viewers are now questioning if Steph is really Caleb Miligan‘s daughter at all.
Emmerdale has been getting some new additions recently as Ruby’s dad Anthony, and her daughter, Steph Miligan, have arrived in the village.
Ruby’s family life seems to be nothing but drama. Steph revealed she didn’t want a relationship with her parents, and instead only wanted her inheritance from Ruby’s dead mum.
But in last night’s episode of Emmerdale (November 19), Steph tricked her mum into meeting with Anthony, by pretending she wanted to chat.
It was immediately clear there is a lot of history between Ruby and Anthony, but could it be something more sinister?

Emmerdale:Â Ruby has ‘sinister’ past with Anthony, fans predict
Viewers found out Ruby’s parents wanted her to have a termination instead of going through with her pregnancy. But after her reaction to him being back in the village, many think there is something else going on.
Ruby had a very extreme reaction to seeing Anthony again, making it clear she will never forgive him. Then when Caleb gave her the box which Anthony had tried to earlier that day, she got angry at her husband.
Taking to social media after last night’s episode, fans speculated.
One wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Ruby despises her dad, but why? Is there something far more sinister? He’s creepy?”
Another penned: “Are they going to do a Ruby’s daughter is also her sister type of storyline and that’s really why she hates her dad so much?”

“No way is that the reaction of someone who was told to leave home because they got pregnant. That seems to be the reaction of someone who’s been abused. Is he Steph’s dad, not grandad?”
If the fan theory is true then it makes sense why Ruby reacted in that way towards her father. And if so, will she ever open up to Caleb?

Emmerdale tonight saw Ruby reject her dad in very dramatic fashion, despite Caleb’s pleas for her to hear Anthony out. So is there more to it all?
Meanwhile, Ross is definitely not turning over a new goody two shoes leaf, and Moira tried to prepare Cain for her possible death.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale on Tuesday November 19.
Things were glum for Ruby in Emmerdale tonight
Ruby had a chance with Steph, but then Anthony arrived (Credit: ITV)
Steph gave Ruby a chance
Ruby was feeling down after falling out with Steph, who was just showing Ross out of the B&B after spending the night together. Caleb Miligan went in all guns blazing telling her Ross wasn’t someone to get involved with – not the best way to get Steph to stay.
Ruby told Caleb to lay off as he went in hard offering Steph a partnership at the depot. Steph then agreed to go to the cafe with Ruby for a chat. Ruby went on the charm offensive very sincerely telling Steph she was sorry and asking to start again. Steph agreed all-too-easily.
Caleb softened towards his father-in-law (Credit: ITV)
Anthony arrived
And then it became apparent why because she’d set up a meeting between Ruby and her estranged dad, Anthony. He wants forgiveness and offered her a box of ‘treasures’ from her childhood. But Ruby was not interested in any sort of reconciliation and stormed off.
Caleb then saw Anthony and wanted answers himself. Although Caleb was harsh, he soon softened and almost warmed to Anthony, wondering if, in fact, he was being sincere. He even explained to Ruby Anthony seemed different. But she was still not buying any of it – and couldn’t believe Caleb had fallen for it. She was emotional and beside herself and we think he must have really hurt her – more than perhaps we know…
So where do we stand on Anthony? Clearly there are sins of the past to be addressed, but we don’t know yet whether we can trust him.

Cain was not coping in Emmerdale tonight
Moira was planning for her operation, wanting to have a last lunch with the family before going under the knife. But Cain was avoiding the situation and wasn’t handling things at all well.
Moira continued to try and prepare Cain for the fact she could die. But he fell apart and stormed off. She went to ask Chas to look out for Cain, who was at the garage, still struggling. Can anyone help him?
Things are getting on top of Dawn, still (Credit: ITV)
Dawn did some more whinging in Emmerdale tonight
Will went to check in on Dawn, who is overwhelmed being back at work at the vets. She’s actually overwhelmed by everything – so much so she’s even forgiven Will!
Once again, Dawn was moaning about being broke, and once again we wonder why she is living in that massive house when she has the option of living in Home Farm with Kim or at the very least somewhere much smaller. Tom and Belle’s place is available – and Kim owns that so would surely give them a discount on rent.
Really, it’s hard to feel sorry for them when they are making life much harder for themselves!
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Brenda was thrilled with her ring, but not with Eric’s behaviour (Credit: ITV)
Eric snuck around
Pollard was sneaking around having been to an auction, much to Brenda’s concern. She’s worried about why he’s cutting her out of the wedding planning.
Brenda asked him outright whether he had bad news for her, but he promised he didn’t and that he just wanted to get back in the game, make more money and live their life together.
Ross is definitely keen to do some bad (Credit: ITV)
Jai and Ross plotted
Jai has accepted Caleb’s job, but he still thinks he holds all the cards. Which is strange, to be honest, as he has none.
Meanwhile, Ross wanted a job from Caleb and even put on his best clobber to try and persuade him. But Caleb gave him short shrift, which may have been a mistake… Because then Jai approached Ross to team up and steal Caleb’s valuable stock.
With a glint in his eye, Ross said he may well be interested in the plot and with that bad-boy Ross is well and truly back.
And finally…
Jacob was spotted in a scene after months of fans not being sure whether he is still in the show. He is, and he was worried about his grandad. Phew.

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.
