Ruby Miligan-Fox (Beth Cordingly) has made a potentially grave decision to make an enemy of ruthless Kim Tate (Claire King) in Emmerdale.
There’s few residents that Ruby hasn’t crossed since her arrival in the eponymous village last month, first setting her sights on exposing husband Caleb’s (William Ash) affair with his niece-in-law Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh).
Wanting the man for herself, Ruby made an impromptu speech at Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Tom King’s (James Chase) wedding reception, causing a huge fight to break out between Caleb and Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
After the incident, she began to pack her bags and leave but Caleb got his own way, convincing her to stay – and to jump into his bed.
In tonight’s (26th February) episode, shameless Ruby flirted with Nate in the café as he spoke about how he was putting his divorce to one side for the day to celebrate daughter Frankie’s 3rd birthday.
When Caleb arrived, he asked Nate if he had any intention of returning to work at his private chauffeuring firm and it became clear that they weren’t ready to play happy families just yet.
Pushing her feet further under the table, Ruby offered her assistance which was a welcome relief to son Nicky (Lewis Cope) who has been snowed under in Nate’s absence – but Caleb wasn’t having any of it.
Over lunch at The Hide, she continued to pressure him for work, which didn’t go unnoticed by Kim who was sat on the next table.
Last week, Ruby had asked Kim to help her in a quest to get her hands on Caleb’s money.
As she began to gloat about a shopping spree in town, Kim questioned her over the true intentions of her plot.
‘You’re not trying to play me, are you?’ she asked, with a sinister grin on her face.
Ruby replied: ‘Why would I? See how you feel when I know where all the cash is, and how to get my hands on it.’
As she strolled out of the restaurant, Kim warned her not to cross her path.
We don’t think Ruby really knows what she’s got herself into!
Will she regret making a deal with the devil?
