Emmerdale spoilers have already revealed Anthony’s death at Aaron’s hands—but now there’s another shocking truth that has been revealed about the real killer. The past week has been tormenting for Aaron as he kept on assuming that Anthony died because of him. But now, the recent episode revealed that someone else is the killer. In the latest episode, we see Aaron trying to harm himself as he sinks with the guilt of killing Anthony. Though John tries to convince him, nothing really works.
Real Killer Admits Murder
In yesterday’s episode, we saw him turning up at Ruby’s home to confess as he couldn’t take the guilt anymore. But an unexpected revelation comes his way. As Aaron broke down, revealing the trauma from his own past with his father as an eight-year-old, he confessed that he had killed Anthony. But rather than allowing him to shoulder the blame, Ruby dropped the truth bomb and confessed that she was the one who ended Anthony’s life. We also come across a flashback sequence, which shows Ruby arriving at the depot after Aaron had left.
She found Anthony battered and bleeding on the floor, barely conscious. But when he tried to reach out to her, she snapped and smothered him to death out of rage. While Ruby’s goal was to ensure Anthony could never hurt anyone—it was difficult for Aaron to accept the betrayal. He couldn’t believe that Ruby and Caleb let him believe that he was the killer and didn’t confess. While Aaron was ready to blame Ruby for her doings—she instantly confessed that Anthony was Steph’s biological father.
What Happens Next?
While the soap keeps the next week’s Emmerdale spoilers under wraps, the consequences of this confession will surely be big. What adds fuel to the fire is that Caleb is now struggling with a secret of his own. Before his death, Anthony told Caleb that Cain and Ruby had once slept together. Now, that claim is playing on Caleb’s mind, and he can’t let it go. Confronting his brother, Caleb demands answers.
When asked, Cain quickly denies the accusations and brushes it off as Anthony trying to cause trouble for Ruby. But how long can he keep his secret? Will Ruby help Cain hide the secret, too? We don’t know yet. Only the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
