Emmerdale has appeared to confirm that Ruby Fox-Miligan was not just abused by her father.
Over in the Dales recently, Ruby (Beth Cordingly) was left stunned by the return of two estranged family members; daughter Steph (Georgia Jay) and dad Anthony (Nicholas Day). Steph rocked up first, following the d.e.a.t.h of Ruby’s mum Helen (Sharon Maughan) – who Ruby also had an estranged relationship with.
Then came Ruby’s dad Anthony – with it clear that Ruby was hiding a huge secret about him. As Anthony settled into the village, Ruby meanwhile, has been spiralling, suffering from panic attacks. Clearly troubled by her dad, Ruby even ended up cheating on Caleb (William Ash) with his half-brother Cain (Jeff Hordley).
However, during Thursday’s instalment (December 12), the truth was finally revealed about Ruby and Anthony – with a flashback scene from Ruby’s 16th birthday confirming that Anthony s.e.x.u.a.l.l.y abused her as a child.
