ITV Emmerdale Ruby’s dark plan for Caleb revealed as fans ‘rumble’ harrowing murder twist

Emmerdale fans witnessed eerie scenes between Caleb Miligan and his wife Ruby on the ITV soap on Thursday.

The hour-long episode of the show saw an explosive showdown erupt between the pair, after Ruby manipulated Caleb into helping her target his own family. Caleb was disowned by brother Cain Dingle, nephew Nate Robinson and the rest of the family recently, as Ruby outed his affair with Nate’s wife Tracy.

Ruby continued to feel threatened though after seeing Caleb and Tracy speaking in the village, with her worried there were feelings involved. Knowing that Tracy had her big nursery venture presentation, Ruby was keen to sabotage it and managed to convince Caleb to help her.

Not only that but she had Nate arrested after he, Cain and Aaron Dingle stole the cars from Caleb’s business, before crushing his own car. Ruby was pleased with herself as she told Caleb how none of his family cared for him, and that they were all laughing at him.

She told him it was time for payback, and that the only way to show them he wasn’t to be messed with was to act. While initially reluctant, Caleb soon decided to mess up Tracy’s presentation and her dream business entirely.

In front of a group of parents hoping to send their children to the nursery, Caleb turned on Tracy with vile comments about their affair and her past sex work. Tracy owned her past and refused to let it ruin her future, but Caleb continued to mock and taunt Tracy resulting in Nate, who was there, attacking his uncle.

Ruby smirked as she watched the chaos she had orchestrated unfolding, as Caleb realised he had gone too far. Once he realised Ruby had called the police on Nate too, he knew there was no going back for him and the Dingles – especially after sister Chas Dingle told him she was disgusted by him, and was glad their mother Faith Dingle had died before he had found them.

Caleb was left in tears over the shame he had brought on his family, and the ties that had been cut after his actions and those of Ruby. He then turned on his wife, realising she was loving every moment of it, and it was hinted that they’d had many a showdown before now.

Things took a dark turn as Ruby’s plan against the Dingles and her plan to get Caleb all to herself, isolating him from his family, was exposed. She repeated that she was the only family he needed, and how much she hated the Dingles even turning on Chas, trying to make Caleb hate them as much as she did.

She began screaming about Caleb’s past and how he was unloved, and how he wasn’t enough for the Dingles. Caleb called her messed up and said she needed help, to which she replied: “Why do you always do this to me, get me like this, what is wrong with you?”

Realising Caleb would choose the Dingles over her she exploded, with him calling her a “poisonous snake”. As she cruelly commented on his past he stormed out, with Ruby sobbing. She then smashed a glass against a wall while screaming before looking into the now distorted smashed mirror.

Now fans are fearful of what might come, with one writing: “Ruthless Ruby giving Mad Meena Vibes #emmerdale.” A second added: “Ruby’s personality is coming across like a mix between psychotic Meena and a bit like Kim too in terms of revenge strategies. I’m starting to like it #Emmerdale.” A third wrote: “What a nasty piece of work Ruby is #emmerdale @emmerdale.”
