    Bob finally sees Heath’s headstone, and tells Cathy that they have made Heath proud. Together, they settle down beside the grave and unpack his favourite treats. Cathy says he’d love it if he were there – as Bob assures her that Heath is always with them.

  • Beth Cordingly thanks fans for support in Ruby abuse storyline in emotional social media post: ‘One of the greatest privileges of my life’

    Beth Cordingly thanks fans for support in Ruby abuse storyline in emotional social media post: ‘One of the greatest privileges of my life’

    Following an emotional time for her character Ruby Fox-Miligan in Emmerdale, actress Beth Cordingly has thanked fans for their support.

    Last year, it was revealed that Ruby was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her own father.

    Viewers have praised Beth for her performance and for handling such a delicate subject matter with care. Now, Beth has taken to social media to thank fans for their nice words.

    What happened to Ruby in Emmerdale?

    Viewers were aware that Ruby was estranged from her parents, but it wasn’t until Anthony Fox arrived in November that the reasons became clear.

    During a special flashback episode of Emmerdale, scenes from Ruby’s 16th birthday party were shown. A young Ruby was shown looking scared and begging ‘not again, not today’ as her evil dad approached her in her bedroom.

    Last week, Ruby bravely confronted her dad about the sexual abuse she faced as a kid. Anthony of course tried to twist everything, but Ruby stayed firm.

    She revealed she had been only 14 the first time it had happened, before telling her dad: ‘You raped me.’

    Anthony would not admit to anything and told his daughter he just wanted to make her feel special and she couldn’t prove otherwise. However, Ruby informed her shocked dad that she had proof of what he did because he is Steph’s real rather and a DNA test would show that.

    Fans praised Ruby’s performance, describing it as ‘phenomenal’ and ‘award-worthy.’

    Emmerdale: Beth Cordingly thanks fans for support

    Actress Beth was overwhelmed with the response to Ruby’s storyline and took to Instagram to thank fans for their support.

    “THANK YOU to everyone for your amazing messages. Working on this storyline is an enormous privilege and we all really care about it. The cast, crew, producers, writers,” she wrote.

    “It’s been one of the great privileges of my life (truly) to say these words on behalf of RUBYS everywhere… and all that we hoped for as a team on Emmerdale is that we could – in some small way – make you feel respected and heard.

    “Sorry I can’t reply to every message but I do read them. I’m so grateful for your courage in sharing your thoughts and feelings with me.”

    Included in the Instagram post was a video, in which Beth added: “I’m really proud and I feel really privileged I’ve been involved in this storyline. Thank you for your amazing messages.

    “We really care about it, everyone cares about it at work and everyone. The producers, writers, the crew, everyone’s so invested – camera, sound, makeup, costume, all the actors, everyone’s really invested and it’s been an amazing experience to work on it.

    “I’m proud of it. I’m really proud.”

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Caleb finally stepped up as Ruby broke down

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Caleb finally stepped up as Ruby broke down

    Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly needs all the awards after her performance tonight as she broke down and confessed everything to Caleb. Meanwhile, Caleb was determined to avenge his wife, but at what cost?

    Elsewhere Wendy left town – and not before time.

    Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Friday January 17.

    Caleb finally stepped up to support Ruby

    Caleb wanted to go after Anthony, but Chas persuaded him not to. But her brother was torturing himself over not having known or picked up on it – er we have been telling you Caleb.

    Meanwhile, Anthony was gaslighting Steph telling her Ruby was losing her grip and her mental health.

    Caleb called Ruby over to talk. He gently told her what he and Chas had worked out as Ruby sat calmly and in silence. “Whatever you tell me, I will believe I promise,” Caleb told her. And then her facade fell as she loudly sobbed and wailed like a baby. Caleb grabbed her and promised he had her now.

    Caleb wants to save Ruby again

    After she composed herself she relived everything as Caleb listened. Ruby admitted she had tried to tell her mum, who had dismissed her as a fantasist.

    The secret had destroyed any relationship Ruby could have had with Steph as she did all she could to keep her away from her grandparents. That included sending her to boarding school

    Ruby told Caleb he had saved her. Caleb told her he loved her, but he also had a visit from a mystery person, delivering a mystery package containing a gun, that he lied to her about.

    Beth Cordingly was phenomenal in these scenes, fragile, vulnerable, yet strong and firm about not wanting Steph to ever find out. She knocked it out of the park.

    Wendy left Emmerdale tonight

    Although Wendy was sad about leaving, she was sure it was the right thing to do. Bob was ranting and raving about Wendy’s deceit when she arrived to tell him she was leaving and say goodbye. Bob was shell-shocked.

    Wendy then went to see Rhona and Marlon and confessed what she’d done. They were not particularly forgiving either – no real wonder, especially as she wouldn’t say why she was being blackmailed, so we can take from that she’s not planning to give up being a fake nurse.

    Victoria and Harry, as well as Cathy, turned out to bid her goodbye. Liam and Manpreet also wished her well as Bob watched from afar.

    Later, Bob drowned his sorrows and Brenda consoled him. He admitted he and Wendy had been drifting apart for months. But he then drunkenly lunged at Brenda and things went very sour. She did forgive him and they agreed to put it behind them.

    Also tonight…

    Marlon was up and out of bed and bouyed by news of a sighting of April. However it came to nothing and they felt helpless and hopeless again. Something tells us this pattern will continue for quite some time.

  • Emmerdale fans still annoyed over ‘lazy’ plot of Ruby and Cain’s affair: ‘Hope they keep it a secret forever’

    Emmerdale fans still annoyed over ‘lazy’ plot of Ruby and Cain’s affair: ‘Hope they keep it a secret forever’

    In a recent episode, Ruby confronted Anthony over the abuse she faced from him as a child. But fans are annoyed that Ruby and Cain’s affair is still looming over important Emmerdale storylines.

    When Moira was in brain surgery, Cain made the awful decision to sleep with Ruby – his brother’s wife. And since then, the guilt has been eating away at him.

    But with such important storylines at play in the show, fans are struggling to move on from Cain and Ruby’s one night stand.

    Emmerdale’s secret of Ruby and Cain’s affair ‘should never be revealed’

    Both Cain and Ruby are involved in huge storylines at the moment. Cain is trying to support Moira through her radiotherapy. And Ruby’s childhood abuse by her father has just been revealed. So exactly what was the point in having their one night stand simmer in the background of two really important storylines?

    It seems fans still struggle to look at Cain and Moira in the same way since the whole thing happened. But that being said, they also hope it never comes out. As it would ruin so many things in the show.

    In last night’s episode (January 16) Caleb sought comfort in his brother when he found out he wasn’t Steph’s dad. But while Cain hugged him (bold move for Cain!), he kept trying to persuade Caleb to forgive Ruby. Because he knows he did the exact same thing.

    Taking on a Reddit thread, fans discussed their desire for the soap to simply move on from the whole incident.

    One wrote: “Making Cain and Ruby sleep together was so stupid and random. What purpose did it even serve? It didn’t even lead anywhere. If Ruby confided in Cain then I would get it more. But it just seems like a lazy plot. I hope they manage to keep it secret forever.”

    Fans want the show to move on from the storyline

    Another fan agreed, adding: “I hope it’s one of those rare soap secrets that never gets revealed. They should just never mention it again. In time we can pretend the whole thing never happened.”

    A third simply commented: “Definitely a stupid plot line.”

    “It was just so unforgivable for him to do too,” another angry fan wrote.

    It seems fans are all in agreement that if this secret never comes out, then we would not be bothered at all. We’re all already trying to pretend it never happened!

    Cain looks set to get more involved in Emmerdale’s Ruby’s storyline next week. A brand new trailer showed him and Caleb looking guilty while holding a gun. Are they responsible for Anthony’s upcoming murder?

  • Emmerdale fans praise ‘phenomenal’ performances as Ruby confronts Anthony and Chas works out the truth

    Emmerdale fans praise ‘phenomenal’ performances as Ruby confronts Anthony and Chas works out the truth

    After last night’s episode (January 16), fans have praised ‘phenomenal’ performances by Beth Cordingly, who plays Ruby in Emmerdale.

    In scenes that were hard to watch for many, Ruby bravely confronted her evil dad over the sexual abuse she faced as a child. And heartbreakingly revealed that she even tried to tell her mum.

    Over the last few months Ruby has been living through hell, as her dad came back into her life. It was then revealed to viewers that Anthony sexually abused her when she was younger.

    Ruby in Emmerdale confronted Anthony

    Since then, fans have been desperate for Anthony to get his comeuppance, with viewers claiming he may be the most evil character the show has ever had.

    In eerie scenes, Anthony stood over his daughter while she was sleeping in the B&B. When Ruby horrifyingly woke up to him looming over her, she decided to confront her dad over what he did to her.

    When Anthony tried to manipulate and gaslight her, Ruby stood her ground. And as Anthony told her she had no proof, Ruby gave him a huge shock.

    She told him she had a DNA test that proves Steph is not Caleb’s daughter, and it would prove that he was. However, she also told him his disgusting secret is safe because she doesn’t want Steph to ever know the truth.

    After the powerful scenes aired, fans immediately took to social media to praise Beth Cordingly’s performance as Ruby in Emmerdale.

    Fans praise Beth Cordingly’s portrayal of Ruby

    One fan wrote: “Beth Cordingly is a phenomenal talent. ITV are so lucky to have her as Ruby!”

    Another praised: “Beth Cordingly is award-worthy on Emmerdale this week. May Ruby remain at the centre of the show forever.”

    “Give Beth Cordingly all of the awards. This is a very dark, dark storyline, even for a soap. And she has been amazing,” a fan commented.

    A viewer shared how this powerful storyline has changed their opinions on Ruby’s character.

    They wrote: “I have to admit that I didn’t take to Ruby at all when she arrived in Emmerdale. But now she is one of my favourite characters. Beth Cordingly is playing the current storyline brilliantly!”

    Emmerdale has just released a brand new trailer for next week’s episodes. And it seems the time is up for Anthony, as someone in the village murders him.

  • Emmerdale: Anthony murder suspect ‘ruled out’ after fans watch horrifying new trailer

    Emmerdale: Anthony murder suspect ‘ruled out’ after fans watch horrifying new trailer

    Emmerdale has released a brand new trailer for next week’s episodes, and spoilers show things are about to get murderous for Anthony Fox.

    Last night’s episode (January 16) saw Caleb finally realise the truth about who Steph’s father is. And things are not looking good for Anthony.

    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.

    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.

    4 Emmerdale spoilers tonight: Caleb’s world is in tatters following devastating Ruby revelation

    In Emmerdale spoilers tonight (Friday, January 17) Caleb Miligan is left reeling following last night’s revelations. This came after he learned the truth about Ruby and Anthony – discovering that he had raped Ruby as a teenager, and was Steph’s biological father.

    Caleb discovered earlier this week that Steph isn’t his daughter by blood, having come across a letter containing the results of a DNA test requested by Ruby. He confronted Ruby and, as she attempted to protect her daughter, she let him believe that she’d been the product of unfaithfulness.

    Caleb duly kicked her out, only to stumble across the truth with Chas last night (Thursday, January 16). And now, with his life having crumbled to pieces, Caleb has to come to terms with this bombshell news. What will he decide to do?

    Elsewhere, a disgraced Wendy makes a momentous decision, one villager says goodbye, and a reward draws some unwanted attention.

    All this and more in Emmerdale spoilers tonight.

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ruby confronted her dad as Caleb realised the terrible truth

    Emmerdale tonight saw the fallout from the DNA results as Ruby finally confronted her dad. Elsewhere, Caleb was on the hunt for Steph’s real father and after a confrontation with Rob, the penny finally dropped for him.

    Meanwhile, Marlon was taken to hospital, but with April still missing he wouldn’t give up the search. And, Wendy made a decision about her future.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday January 16

    The awful truth revealed in Emmerdale tonight

    Caleb and Ruby both struggled to cope

    Ruby woke up in the B&B having nightmares over her dad’s abuse. She demanded Bob get her a whiskey for breakfast.

    Meanwhile, Steph was trying to get to the bottom of her parents’ split. Caleb wasn’t saying anything and then Steph found a drunk Ruby in the shop. She called her mum a poisonous bitch and told her to get out of their lives. Ouch.

    Caleb went to confide in Cain and Cain even gave him a hug. Yes, that’s right, Cain hugged his brother. But then Cain went in to bat for Ruby, which Caleb didn’t really understand. Cain encouraged his brother to try to forgive Ruby, however Steph was totally against a reconciliation and talked Caleb out of seeing his wife.

    Terrified Ruby confronted her dad

    But if he had walked in to the B&B, he’d have seen Anthony had snuck into Ruby’s room while she was sleeping. He moved her hair from her face before waiting for her to wake up. “Daddy’s here for you darling,” he told her, sickeninglyas he surveyed her sleeping body.

    Ruby was absolutely terrified when she woke up and cowered in the corner. She confronted him over what he did to her. Anthony twisted everything, gaslighting her that she was hysterical and rambling like a drunk woman. He gave her water and told her to sleep it off, but when he touched her hand she threw the water at him.

    Ruby directly confronted him and told him she was 14 the first time and admitted she had told her mum what he’d been doing to her. Her mum did not believe her, though. Anthony insisted she had it all wrong as Ruby told him: “You raped me.”

    Anthony would not admit it, he said he just wanted her to feel special and he loves her very much. He told her it was all lies and she couldn’t prove otherwise. But she said she could get proof: Caleb is not Steph’s father and a DNA test would prove that Anthony is. That shocked her vile dad into silence and although he tried to talk her out of it, he realised he was caught. But Ruby told him the secret was safe as she couldn’t risk Steph finding out.

    Chas worked it out and told Caleb the awful truth

    Back at home Caleb had confided in Chas and told her he had tracked Rob down. Chas confessed she knew and that Ruby had been raped. And Caleb told her he’d called Rob round on the pretence of throwing some work his way.

    Chas told him to call it off, but when he wouldn’t she refused to leave them alone. Rob had no idea what he’d walked into as Caleb threw him against a wall and insisted Rob would pay for what he did to Ruby.

    But Rob told Caleb he was gay and had never slept with Ruby. As he said he and Ruby spent so much time together because she was afraid of her dad, the penny finally dropped for Chas.

    But not for Caleb, who still didn’t get it. So Chas spelt it out: Ruby was really scared of Anthony because he had sexually abused her and he fathered Steph.

    Marlon was very ill in Emmerdale tonight

    It wasn’t much lighter anywhere else in the Dales. Marlon was coughing up a lung as he panicked about April some more. He later collapsed in the pub and Paddy and Ross insisted he go to hospital. Marlon has a chest infection in both lungs and needs antibiotics. He was warned he would definitely have another stroke if he carried on like this. Marlon agreed not to go back into Leeds for today. Baby steps, we suppose.

    Ross took over the search and covered Marlon’s area as well as his own. But Marlon was still stressed and so Rhona decided to offer a £1000 reward for information on April. Mary was totally against it, but Rhona did it anyway. Apparently she can afford it.

    Wendy confessed in Emmerdale tonight

    Wendy went round to see Liam and confessed what she’d done to Rhona and Ella. Liam was less than sympathetic as Wendy explained she was being blackmailed her over her past.

    Manpreet was called round and the truth was revealed to her. She was disgusted to find out about the lies and that Liam knew all along. Liam told Wendy they had to sack her.

    Wendy then went round to see Ella and confessed. Ella thought it was revenge for the attack, but Wendy sobbed that it wasn’t. Ella refused to listen though and even Bob could barely look at her. He then told her he couldn’t be around her and told her to pack her bags and leave.

    Wendy went to stay with Victoria who was furious, but offered her support. However Wendy said she was going to move in with son Luke and was leaving for good.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Cain made a pledge to Moira

    Moira confronted Cain and asked if he still fancied her – especially with bald patches (that no one else seems to be able to see with those lucious locks). But he insisted he did and things were left uneasily awkward between them again.

    Later, while Moira was resting, Cain nestled in next to her, whispered that he still fancied her and he loved her. He promised to find a better way of showing it. But can he hide his guilt long enough to do it?

    Joe made some more moves

    At Home Farm Kim was looking at a photo of Jamie and Millie feeling wistful. She quizzed Joe over Jamie and where he was and Joe said he would set up a meeting between them.

    A power cut saw Joe call Noah for electrical advice. Noah fixed it all for him and Joe was impressed with his work. The two brothers bonded over a cup of tea and Joe told him what Ross had threatened. They decided to conduct a secret brotherly relationship to keep the peace. Later they put on show for Charity to convince her they were having nothing to do with each other.

  • Emmerdale’s Ruby defended over decision not to tell Caleb the truth about Anthony: ‘Stop victim shaming’

    Emmerdale’s Ruby defended over decision not to tell Caleb the truth about Anthony: ‘Stop victim shaming’

    Fans of Emmerdale have leapt to the defense of Ruby Fox-Miligan following last night’s episode, which came as Caleb learned that Steph is not his daughter. Rooting around in Ruby’s handbag, he stumbled across the results of a DNA test – confirming Ruby’s worst fears.

    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.
