Horrifying incest bombshell revealed on Emmerdale as devastated Caleb Miligan makes huge decision
Ruby has been left absolutely devastated by the bombshell
EMMERDALE has revealed the horrifying truth about Steph Miligan’s parentage in an incest bombshell today.
The businesswoman’s mother Ruby – who is played by actress Beth Cordingly in the ITV soap – has been struggling since her dad Anthony arrived in the village.
Viewers know Anthony abused Ruby as a teenager and could have been her eldest daughter Steph’s father.
Having relived her trauma, Ruby decided to get a secret DNA test to find out once and for all – and despite changing her mind at the last minute – the results came out anyway.
After finding the results, Caleb thundered: “When were you going to tell me? What? Are you trying to figure a way out of it and tell me it’s not what I think it is.”
“It really isn’t,” said Ruby.
“DNA test results don’t lie,” Caleb replied.
He added: “But you do, don’t you? You’ve been lying to me for years – Steph’s not mine. Zero per cent probability of paternity.”
A devastated Ruby said: “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know, not for sure. Nothing changes.”
“Everything changes,” Caleb raged. “You’ve been hiding this all this time. Why now? What have I done to you to make you do a test?”
“Because Steph’s here,” Ruby told him.
“Every time I see her I’ve been going out of my mind hating myself. I thought it would be easier if I knew.
“But I prayed it would be you. This is worse, so much worse knowing. I didn’t want you to know, I came back here to destroy the letter.
“I have loved you since the moment we met. You are everything to me and that has never changed. I have never not loved you, there’s only ever been you.”
Devastated, Caleb told Ruby he should’ve left her with her mum and dad – not realising the hell she’d gone through with them.
He then demanded she leave, ending their marriage, leaving Ruby utterly broken.
But will she tell him the real reason Steph isn’t his biological daughter?
