EM/ Did Steph kill Anthony?

This week in Emmerdale, the drama intensifies as a family faces heartbreak that could bring them together—or shatter them for good. Emmerdale spoilers reveal that Ruby Fox-Milligan (Beth Cordingly), known for her frosty demeanour, finds herself at the center of a story brimming with emotional tension. A shocking diagnosis and unresolved family conflicts threaten to turn Ruby’s world upside down, leaving us wondering—can this family heal their fractured relationships before it’s too late?

   

Ruby’s Unresolved Pain

It’s surprising to learn that Ruby Fox-Milligan has a heart buried beneath her icy layers, but recent events have started to melt her defences. The return of her estranged mother stirred up long-buried emotions, only for Ruby to face the devastating reality that her mother died before they could reconcile. To make matters worse, Ruby discovered that her late mother had reached out to her on her deathbed, a message cruelly hidden from her by Caleb (Will Ash).

As if that wasn’t enough, Ruby learned her mother had been secretly in contact with her estranged daughter Steph (Georgia Jay) all along—a betrayal that left her reeling. When Steph showed up in the village seeking answers, her efforts to confront Ruby about her traumatic childhood were met with hostility.

A slap instead of an apology only widened the rift between mother and daughter. “Ruby is in a very dark place,” Beth Cordingly shared in an interview. “She’s been carrying a lot of resentment and guilt, and now everything is coming to a head. It’s a painful journey for her.”

A Bombshell Diagnosis

Just when things couldn’t get more complicated, Anthony (Nicholas Day), Ruby’s estranged father, makes an unexpected appearance in the village. His arrival brings shocking news—he’s been diagnosed with cancer. For Anthony, this is a chance to seek forgiveness and reconnect with Ruby, but she isn’t ready to let go of the anger she’s harbored for years.

Meanwhile, Steph is left stunned by her grandfather’s diagnosis but is determined to support him through his illness. She sees this as an opportunity to mend the fractured family dynamic, but Ruby remains a formidable obstacle. “Anthony knows he’s running out of time,” Nicholas Day revealed in an interview. “He wants to make amends, but he’s fully aware that Ruby might never forgive him. It’s a heartbreaking situation.”

Caleb and Steph’s Secret Plan

Steph isn’t the only one pushing for reconciliation. Caleb steps in, trying to act as a mediator between Ruby and Anthony. Instead of confronting Anthony as Ruby might have expected, Caleb listens to him and is moved by his sincerity. This leads Caleb to join forces with Steph in the hope of reuniting the family.

But Ruby isn’t easily swayed. Steph, who has her own agenda, hopes Anthony’s illness will guilt Ruby into letting him back into her life. For Steph, it’s also a way to seek closure after her own rocky upbringing. “Steph is stuck in the middle,” Georgia Jay explained. “She’s torn between her loyalty to her granddad and her frustration with her mum. It’s a really emotional journey for her.”

Will Ruby Forgive?

The question remains—how will Ruby react to Anthony’s illness? For someone who’s spent years building walls to protect herself, the idea of letting her estranged father back into her life is unthinkable. Having lost the chance for closure with her mum, will Ruby risk repeating the same mistake with her dad? As viewers, we can’t help but feel conflicted. On one hand, we understand Ruby’s pain and why she’s hesitant to forgive. On the other hand, we wonder if this tragedy could finally help her move forward.
