Emmerdale exit ‘sealed’ for legend after 15 years as fans spot worrying hint

Emmerdale has aired another worrying twist in the Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day) m.u.r.d.e.r saga as Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) has started digging around for information about the ‘missing’ pensioner.

Earlier this year, abuser Anthony was beaten to near-d.e.a.t.h by Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) before Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) delivered the fatal blow. John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) then buried Anthony’s corpse in the woods as they all agreed to keep his m.u.r.d.e.r a secret.

Steph Miligan (Georgia Jay) recently discovered her mum Ruby had been sexually abused by her own dad Anthony, and he was her biological dad leaving her devastated. The Miligans and Dingles have since been trying to keep the truth about Anthony under wraps as they lie about his true whereabouts.

As a result, Jai has recently noticed that Caleb, Ruby, and Steph occasionally look concerned whenever Anthony is mentioned. He’s now determined to find out what family secret they are keeping.

During Tuesday’s visit to the village (March 25), Jai recognised Steph was vulnerable and took the opportunity to learn more about her family. He reassured her that he is a good listener and encouraged her to open up to him.

Steph very nearly revealed the truth about Anthony to Jai but they were interrupted by Caleb, who was already aware of Jai’s sniffing around.

Once Steph left the depot, Caleb lied to Jai, revealing that Anthony was no longer around because he had escaped the village because he had been scared.

But as suspicious Jai sniffs around the Miligan’s for information about Anthony, some viewers are fearing he could be k.i.l.l.e.d if he finds out the truth.

Taking to X, one fan wrote: “If Jai finds out, he’s not going to the police, he’ll try to blackmail Caleb, and he’ll end up d.e.a.d because that’s what usually happens in #Emmerdale.”

A second predicted: “Steph tells Jai… Jai will be gone next! #Emmerdale”, while another echoed: “Jai will wind up d.e.a.d if he keeps putting in his nose in everything #emmerdale.”

“Wondering if Jai will end up in danger if he keeps pursuing the Anthony disappearance.. suppose the Miligan’s will do anything to keep the secret quiet.. #Emmerdale,” feared one viewer.

“You’ll be finding out very soon where he is Jai if you carry on digging. Keeping him company in the same grave #Emmerdale,” added another.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX
