    Beth Cordingly speaks out on Ruby and Cain cheating twist: ‘It’s bad. I’m scared’

    In a twist that nobody saw coming (or wanted), Cain Dingle cheated on his wife while she was in brain surgery – with his sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan.

    Viewers were left shocked at the end of last night’s episode (November 20), as Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby slept together. Many took to social media to display their anger at the storyline.

    Cain and Moira have always been one of the biggest and strongest power couples in Emmerdale, but with this latest twist, everyone can’t help feeling very let down.

    Throwing a cheating storyline in the middle of a powerful health storyline has upset fans. Not only that, but after all Cain and Moira have faced, and her previous affair with Nate, was it really necessary?

    But it seems fans weren’t the only ones surprised by it, as Ruby actress Beth Cordingly has spoken out about her reaction.

    As Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby sleep together – actress speaks out

    Taking to her Instagram after the episode aired, Beth posted a video to her followers. In the video she has a fearful expression on her face and admits: “I know. It’s really bad.”

    She continued by worrying: “What’s going to happen when Moira finds out? I’m scared.”

    Beth also mentioned Caleb’s reaction won’t be good, but admitted “Moira is probably more scary” between the pair.

    The Emmerdale star went on to tell her followers what it was like when she first heard the news.

    “When they told me in the storyline meeting that was going to happen, I literally went like this [Screaming]”, she confessed.

    In the caption for the post, Beth wrote: “Tonight’s episode. I KNOW.  Not a good idea.”

    So it looks like even the cast weren’t too joyous of the storyline, and fans were quick to comment on her post letting her know what a shock it was.

    One commented: “I’m actually unwell over it.”

    Another predicted Moira’s reaction: “Hope you’re ready for a gift from Glasgow!”

    How will Moira react?

    It wasn’t long ago Moira accidentally tried to kill Ruby when she was hallucinating Emma Barton, so when she finds out what happened between her and Cain, the reaction could be even worse.

    Both Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby have been involved in huge storylines recently. Cain has been trying to deal with Moira’s brain tumour (Not very well). Last night was a Cain and Moira special, and although fans were angry with the ending, the first half, with the return of Moira’s dead daughter Holly, served as an emotional treat.

    Elsewhere, Ruby’s daughter Steph, and her father, Anthony, have arrived in the Dales. While she is keen for Steph to stay, she’s determined to get rid of Anthony.

    But with this latest Emmerdale twist, what does the future hold for Coira? Could she ever forgive Cain? And how will Caleb react when he hears his wife has slept with his brother?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dead Holly ‘returned’, Cain cheated and Moira survived

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dead Holly ‘returned’, Cain cheated and Moira survived

    Emmerdale tonight had us crying and screaming in equal measure. Holly Barton’s return was sweet and moving, but Cain sleeping with Ruby was possibly the most crazy decision the soap has ever made. Why? Just why?

    Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 20.

    Moira’s tale in Emmerdale tonight

    Moira went in for surgery

    As Moira was waiting with Cain for her surgery, he was still in denial over the situation. Moira demanded he go home, she was worried about him being aggressive with the doctors and nurses.

    They shared a tearful hug before Moira was taken away, but Cain couldn’t tell her he loves her. He then went to work, despite Sam’s protests he couldn’t just ‘bog off’. Sam insisted Cain was going to do something stupid, but Cain stormed off.

    Holly ‘returned’ for Moira

    As Moira went under she went into a dream state and found herself lying on the sofa with Kyle and Isaac playing beside her. She was then transported outside as the boys played football and she walked out into the sunlight (beautifully reflecting Moira’s new blonde highlights, we must say!)

    Then came shock twist number one: Holly Barton returned. Moira’s daughter Holly died in a heartbreaking overdose in 2016, but here she was sitting next to her mum. They shared a tearful catch-up as the doctor’s voiceover discussed the tumour being a higher grade than they thought. Holly apologised for leaving her and making her mum so sad.  But then the doctor’s voice burst again in saying Moira was having a seizure and had lost a lot of blood.

    It seemed like Holly was encouraging her mum to let go and be with her, but as they walked off, Moira couldn’t go with Holly, she needed to check on the boys, meaning Holly had to go alone. Moira was not ready to leave her boys yet.

    Moira was then seen alive and in recovery, being woken up by the nurse. The operation went well and it’s all over.

    Cain then arrived at the hospital and was actually grateful to the doctors and nurses for saving Moira’s life. He finally told Moira he loved her, but it was clear something was troubling him…

    Jimmy got a beating

    And then we cut to Cain‘s experiences over the last four hours. We saw him slugging whiskey with bloodied hands where Caleb found him and went nuts.

    The clock then wound back to Cain drinking and Jimmy approaching him. Jimmy laid into him over the Tom and Belle situation. Talk about timing, Jimmy! So Cain then did what Cain does and beat him up!

    Cain and RUBY??!!

    We went back again in time again, with Cain closing up the garage and Caleb approaching, they rowed and then we went back another hour. And then can shock twist number two: Cain was doing up his shirt – and Ruby was there putting her own clothes back on.

    Back we went another 45 minutes to see Cain sulking and drinking in a car at the garage when Ruby came in. It sort of came out of nowhere: they argued and Cain brought up her dad – before they suddenly kissed passionately. WHAT THE HELL?!

    We then went forward to Cain arriving at the hospital to see Moira and find out how the operation went. The doctor said the tumour was out and she was confident the surgery went well. Cain was so relieved, but couldn’t see her – the guilt overwhelming him. Ruby then texted him telling him today had never happened.

    Oh Emmerdale, what have you done? This was a bad, bad move. Not one single viewer will be happy about this, we can guarantee it. Why can’t you leave couples alone?

    Whoever thought up this storyline twist? Off with their heads!

  • ‘What have you done?’ Here’s why Cain sleeping with Ruby is the worst decision the soap could’ve made

    ‘What have you done?’ Here’s why Cain sleeping with Ruby is the worst decision the soap could’ve made

    In Emmerdale, Cain Dingle and Ruby slept together tonight (Wednesday, November 20) in a twist that left us feeling sick to our stomachs as Moira had brain surgery.

    Unable to cope as Moira Dingle headed for the operating table, Cain let his rage build up. He then let all of the energy out in… a way we’re sure he’ll live to regret.

    Cain cheated on ill Moira with Ruby in Emmerdale tonight

    A special episode of Emmerdale aired this evening that saw both of Cain and Moira’s perspectives as Moira had her brain surgery to remove her tumour.

    During Moira’s half of the episode, we saw her dream about seeing her late daughter Holly Barton.

    Cain’s half of the ep though wasn’t quite as peaceful – eek! He struggled to deal with the possibility that he could lose Moira.

    To distract himself, he then did the worst possible thing he could’ve ever done… He slept with Ruby Fox-Miligan. Here’s why we think that Emmerdale has made the worst possible decision ever in this single episode as we ask – “Emmerdale, what have you done?”

    No, just no (Credit: ITV)

    Emmerdale: Cain and Ruby – A big no no

    In Moira’s biggest hour of need, Cain strayed away from home, literally whilst his wife faced a life or death situation.

    How low could Cain possibly go? Well, tonight we found out and we’re not sure we’ll ever forgive Cain for this one.

    Coira were one of the only couples still going strong in the Dales until now. We all know how much Cain condemned Moira for cheating on him with Nate in the past (it literally destroyed their marriage for a bit) and now… he’s just as bad.

    And, not only has Cain cheated but he’s cheated with his half-brother’s wife. So, not only has he just potentially ruined his relationship with Moira, but he’s done the same with Caleb too.

    Let’s not even go into how hypocritical Cain was to tear strips into Caleb for cheating with Tracy last year…

    Cain and Ruby – ‘The worst decision ever made’

    Our jaws were on the floor when we first saw Cain and Ruby getting it on with each other. It was a twist we certainly weren’t expecting.

    Whilst the episode was brilliantly done, the whole idea of Cain and Ruby makes us want to gag. It’s just wrong on a hundred different levels. It doesn’t work on paper and it doesn’t work in the ‘reality’ of Soapland either. No, just no.

    We can’t even begin to imagine how Moira will feel when the truth come out (and we know the truth ALWAYS comes out in the end in soap.) We expect fireworks and argument after argument. And, we wouldn’t blame Moira for a second.

    Cain and Ruby together is something we shouldn’t even be discussing… yet here we are. And, honestly, we reckon it’s the worst decision the soap has ever made. A retcon is needed. Please tell us it was all a dream. Please?!

  • As Cain and Ruby sleep together, furious fans slam move as ‘unnecessary and unrealistic’

    As Cain and Ruby sleep together, furious fans slam move as ‘unnecessary and unrealistic’

    Emmerdale has aired unthinkable scenes tonight as Cain Dingle slept with sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan while his wife Moira was having brain surgery.

    Viewers around the country – and indeed at Emmerdale Insider – gasped in horror at the shocking twist and it’s fair to say they were not happy at all.

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight?

    Moira was scared as she waited for the operation to remove her tumour, but Cain was rude and aggressive. Moira sent him away so he didn’t insult all the doctors and nurses while she was under.

    He stomped off while Moira was put to sleep and she went into a parallel universe where she was reunited with dead daughter Holly. As Holly tried to persuade Moira to be with her, in the real world, the operation became more complicated.

    But not allowing herself to be led off by Holly, Moira chose to stay with her boys, Kyle and Isaac, and survived the operation. Phew!

    Meanwhile, we saw what Cain was up to in reverse chronological order. Aside from beating up Jimmy King, he was drinking heavily and not at all coping.

    But it was when Ruby arrived at the garage, hiding from her dad, that things got really bad. She and Cain started trading insults then out of nowhere started kissing. There was barely even any sexual tension, it was just anger from both of them.

    After sleeping together they both insisted it had never happened and no one could ever find out – which means everyone will find out before too long, this is Emmerdale after all.

    Emmerdale fans blast Cain and Ruby cheating decision

    So tonight’s episode begs the question: What was Emmerdale thinking? Why on earth would they have Cain do the unthinkable and cheat on Moira when she is so vulnerable?

    And just as Ruby is starting to become likeable and have more to her than just her plotting and sharp tongue, she goes and sets herself back. So far back, in fact, she’s almost too far gone.

    Fans definitely agree! They felt the soap had hit just the right notes with the first half – and then totally ruined it with the second.

    “First half of that episode was brilliant, Natalie is truly phenomenal. The second half of that episode was the biggest [bleep] storm ever to grace our tv screens. Protect Moira at all costs now,” said one on X.

    Another addressed the soap directly: “Dear Emmerdale, how can you do something as lovely as the first half of tonight’s episode and then do something as horrible, inexplicable and utterly out of character as in the second? Who thought that was a good idea? Because it wasn’t.”

    “I’ve just watched Emmerdale and I legit cannot focus on anything else. What the actual [bleep] have I just watched? What is going on? Who am I? What planet is this?” raged one more.

    ‘Completely unnecessary’ slam fans

    A fourth said: “Completely unnecessary and ruined an otherwise brilliant and emotional episode.”

    “Have no words for the second half of tonight’s Emmerdale. Well done EDHQ for ruining such an important story with a pathetic plot device!!!!!” added a fifth.

    A sixth wrote: “I am genuinely so mad about tonight’s Emmerdale. So unnecessary and unrealistic. Why have they had to do this in what was such a beautiful episode?”

    “It’s such a shame because it was an episode of two halves. A lovely first half with a nice twist and then a horrible second half with a twist that didn’t need to happen whatsoever.”

    No one is happy – can Emmerdale ever redeem themselves – and Cain after this?

  • Steph is not Caleb’s daughter, fans predict as they speculate Ruby was abused by her father

    Steph is not Caleb’s daughter, fans predict as they speculate Ruby was abused by her father

    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: 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?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: No happy family reunion for Ruby and Ross the bad boy is back!

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: No happy family reunion for Ruby and Ross the bad boy is back!

    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

    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?

    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…

    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.

    He then presented her with a ring he’d bought at the auction in a touching scene. Oh why can’t Emmerdale just let their happiness last?

    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.

  • Steph’s ‘posh’ accent leaves Emmerdale fans baffled after Nicky’s Geordie drawl

    Steph’s ‘posh’ accent leaves Emmerdale fans baffled after Nicky’s Geordie drawl

    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.

    Steph believes her mum abandoned her when she needed her the most and accused her of being cold towards her and of loving Nicky more.

    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.
