Fans of Emmerdale have predicted a murderous twist to the story of Ruby Fox-Miligan and her dad. This comes as the soap prepares to reveal exactly what Anthony did to Ruby on her sixteenth birthday, resulting in all those years of trauma and misery.
Ruby is clearly struggling with her estranged father being back on the scene, especially given how quickly he seems to have wriggled his way back into her life.
Anthony was in a particularly smug mood last night as he offered a weak apology for meddling in Caleb and Ruby’s affairs. And, as he showed up at the house, Steph even managed to score him an invite to Cain’s birthday party. Forced to play nice, Ruby swallowed her obvious pain in the face of Anthony’s smugness.
And, as Ruby’s situation continues to worsen, one fan has wondered whether Ruby might k.i.l.l her father.
Emmerdale fan predicts that Ruby will k.i.l.l her dad
Writing on X as last night’s scenes aired, one fan wondered whether Ruby might snap and k.i.l.l Anthony.
“Ruby k.i.l.l.i.n.g Antony?” this viewer suggested.
But if not Ruby, others were still hopeful that Anthony might meet his end before too long.
“I hope Anthony dies a slow and painful d.e.a.t.h and hopefully at Caleb’s hands,” said another, reacting to the confirmation that Anthony had indeed abused his daughter as a teenager.
“Anthony, be warned, your past will catch up with you,” another said.
The truth is revealed in flashback to Ruby’s 16th
In scenes airing tonight, the truth about Anthony’s evil will be revealed during a series of flashbacks to Ruby’s sixteenth birthday party.
In the difficult episode, the soap reveals that Ruby was the victim of s.e.x.u.a.l abuse by her father as a teenager.
Although the scenes are not graphic, Emmerdale issued a warning to viewers on social media.
The message read: “In tomorrow’s episode (Thursday 12th), Emmerdale will contain references to sexual violence that viewers could find distressing.” It was accompanied by a website link where viewers could seek advice.”
Fans have praised the soap for its sensitivity in providing a trigger warning for this terrible subject matter.
