Emmerdale viewers are convinced that Helen Fox was murdered after her sudden death was confirmed on the ITV soap – and are certain they know who killed her
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Ruby Miligan’s mother was murdered, and while some suspect her husband Caleb, others believe an unlikely character is responsible.
During this week’s episodes, viewers were introduced to Helen Fox (portrayed by Sharon Maughan), the long-estranged mother of Ruby. After many years of separation due to Helen disowning Ruby over her relationship with Caleb, unrest stirred when it was revealed Caleb had been secretly visiting Helen in hospital.
Helen disclosed she was terminally ill and was seeking a reunion with her daughter. Under the condition of a £100k payment from Helen, Caleb agreed to reunite the estranged relatives. Yet, on Wednesday, September 18, an unforeseen twist occurred.
Ruby received a call that led her to the hospital, intending to finally reunite with Helen. However, upon arrival, she discovered her mother had died only 20 minutes earlier, reports Leeds Live.
Upon entering her mother’s room, Ruby faced the devastating sight of Helen’s lifeless body. Concurrently, Caleb was also present in the hospital, surreptitiously observing as Ruby grieved beside her deceased mum.
Speculations are rife amongst viewers that Helen’s demise may have been more sinister than it appeared. Despite initial suspicions pointing towards Caleb, others suggest Ruby herself may be implicated in her mother’s mysterious death.
Fans took to social media to air their theories, particularly on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page where one remarked: “Ruby’s mum died that was quick.” Viewers flocked to the comments to post their theories, with one saying: “I’m putting it out there, Ruby did her mom in.”
Another concurred: “Would not put it past her, they were not close at all.” Adding to the speculation, a third joined in: “Ruby killed her mum and is the one playing Caleb? I hope so.” Meanwhile, a fourth speculated: “She could frame him for the murder for revenge. I wouldn’t mess with her.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
