Beth Cordingly shuts down Ruby and Cain affair storyline – and we’re very relieved
It was just a one off.
.Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has said there is ‘no way’ that an affair will develop between Ruby and Cain – and we’re relieved!
Last month, Ruby Fox-Miligan slept with her brother-in-law Cain Dingle, with the pair agreeing to keep the fling a secret.
The storyline hasn’t pleased fans, but viewers will be happy to know that it won’t be developing into a full-blown affair.
Ruby cheats on Caleb with Cain
Last month, Cain struggled to cope while his wife Moira Dingle was undergoing surgery for a brain tumour.
In a special episode, Cain’s story was told in reverse chronological order. Viewers first saw him with bloodied hands while drinking whiskey.
As the clock went back further, viewers were shocked and annoyed when Cain and Ruby were shown putting their clothes on, while telling each other that no one should ever find out about what they’d done.
The following day, Caleb Miligan found a box of emergency contraception in the bin (You could have hidden it better, Ruby!) Fortunately for Ruby, Caleb was convinced it belonged to daughter Steph, so Cain and Ruby’s secret remains a secret, for now.
Beth Cordingly speaks out
Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has said her character Ruby will not be having an affair with Cain.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, Beth said there was ‘no way’ an affair would develop between the pair. She added: ‘[The one-night stand] was two people pressing the self-destruct button, who both just happened to be there, and they probably regretted it as it was happening.
‘Whenever I bump into Jeff [Hordley, who plays Cain] or Nat [J Robb, who plays Moira], I’m like, “Has Moira found out yet?” as if it’s real. I’m dreading it!’
The actress also opened up on the possibility of Ruby getting pregnant with Cain’s baby. She said: ‘Well, we saw Caleb find the morning after pill in the bin, didn’t we? So, we know Ruby’s taken it.
‘I suppose the thing about soap is that you have to keep throwing grenades into the scenario. When everyone’s happy and ticking along it’s boring, and no one wants to watch that!’
