Get ready for some serious drama in the Dales as Emmerdale spoilers reveal the arrival of two explosive new characters bound to shake up the Fox-Miligan family. With secrets swirling and unresolved tensions bubbling beneath the surface, fans can expect return of familiar faces that Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) hoped she’d left behind. While we won’t give everything away, let’s just say these new arrivals will challenge Ruby and Caleb Miligan (William Ash) in ways that no one in the village saw coming.
Big Returns Impending
In a twist that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows, Emmerdale has confirmed that Ruby’s estranged father, Anthony Fox, and her long-lost daughter, Steph Miligan, are coming back to the village. Nicholas Day joins the cast as Anthony Fox, Ruby’s charming yet complicated father, who has a history of keeping secrets. And he’s not alone.
Georgia Jay steps into the role of Steph, Ruby’s headstrong daughter who’s been out of the picture for over a decade. Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper hinted at what’s to come: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Nicholas and Georgia to Emmerdale as part of the Miligan family. With so much yet to discover about Ruby, the arrival of her father and daughter will unlock her past and see Ruby and Caleb tested in ways we’ve never seen before.”
The arrival of Anthony and Steph isn’t without purpose. Following the recent death of Ruby’s estranged mother, Helen Fox, Ruby has been grappling with unresolved emotions, particularly around her lack of reconciliation with her mother. Caleb’s actions have only added fuel to the fire, as he managed to meet Helen before her death, securing a significant sum of money in the process. Now, it seems the past Ruby tried to bury is about to resurface in a big way.
Speaking about his new role, Nicholas Day shared, “I’ve been made so welcome in the Emmerdale family. And my screen family is great to work with; the scenes just fly. No kidding – I feel blessed.” Day’s character, Anthony, may charm those around him, but his long absence from Ruby’s life raises plenty of questions. Why has Ruby avoided him for over 30 years? It’s safe to say there’s more than meets the eye.
As for Steph, played by Georgia Jay, she’s bringing her own set of challenges. Described as a fiercely independent and determined woman, Steph seems to have inherited her mother’s resolve and her father’s knack for winning. Fans should expect fireworks as Steph enters the village with her own agenda, one that’s likely to put her at odds with Ruby and Caleb.
Reflecting on her new role, Georgia Jay revealed, “I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming, and I’m very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.” With Steph’s complicated history and strained relationship with her family, her presence will challenge the Fox-Miligan clan like never before.
Anthony Fox and Steph Miligan are set to make their on-screen debut later this month. With their arrival, fans can look forward to secrets unveiled, family ties tested, and, as always, plenty of drama.
