Emmerdale aired explosive scenes on Friday night as it was hinted that Stephanie Miligan’s biological father on the ITV soap might not be Caleb Miligan
Emmerdale aired explosive scenes on Friday night as Ruby Fox-Miligan’s past was hinted ahead of a special flashback episode.
Only recently, Ruby has been left stunned by the sudden arrival of her estranged daughter Stephanie and father Anthony. Ever since her family reunion, Ruby has been left uncomfortable around her dad which has left viewers concerned there could be sinister history between the two.
Next week will see the hit ITV soap feature a special flashback episode to 1992 as Ruby’s past is revealed and ahead of the special one-off, Ruby’s past was hinted at on Friday.
During the latest instalment, Anthony continued to make Ruby feel awkward as he mentioned a new character called Rob, revealing he was a guy she knew whilst a teenager.
It was clear Ruby was uncomfortable by the mention, especially when he appeared to hint at a massive bombshell. Asking whether they were still in touch to which Ruby insisted they hadn’t spoke in years as she tried to shutdown the conversation.
However, Anthony said: “You two were so close growing up, I just wondered what he was up to now. It’s a shame – your mother and I always assumed that Rob was Stephanie’s father.”
Ruby was left stunned by her estranged father’s remark, especially as he hinted her daughter Stephanie’s biological father might not be Caleb.
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to react to the explosive scenes as they started to speculate about Rob’s identity, predicting a sinister twist.
One person said: “I’m now wondering if my second thought was correct. That Rob was Ruby’s first love who turned out to be Anthony’s secret lovechild so that would obviously sicken Ruby #Emmerdale” while a different account added: “#Emmerdale now why would her dad mention Rob, Ruby’s ex unless it was to get a cheap dig in to deliberately hurt her.”
It remains to be seen what will happen next and whether the mystery new character Rob really is Stephanie’s biological father.
Next week will see the hit ITV soap feature a special flashback episode to 1992 as Ruby’s past is revealed. It will see Steph discover a throwback photo showing Ruby on her 16th birthday to which Ruby claims she doesn’t remember it. However, flashbacks will show the day in question where Rob is featured.
