Tracy Robinson has been devastated by Caleb Miligan and his wife Ruby Fox-Miligan sabotaging her business in Emmerdale.
She recently secured a potential breakthrough in her startup nursery pitch when Gabby Thomas expressed interest in the HOP funding its development.

“I’m not sure I can do this,” Caleb admitted, with Ruby insisting: “You can and you will.”

The situation only got worse when the police showed up to question Nate Robinson about Caleb’s stolen cars. Caleb realised right away that Ruby had phoned in the tip against Nate.
Following the disastrous presentation, Gabby explained to Tracy she had no choice but to cancel the investment in the nursery.
Back at the Mill Cottage, Ruby flipped out when Caleb branded her a “poisonous snake” and accused her of deliberately turning his family against him. Ruby frantically smashed a glass against the wall after Caleb walked out on her…
