There could be a new plot on the way on Emmerdale after a random spoiler was released this week. It's got viewers thinking something sinister is on the way, as the spoiler involves two characters who haven't yet interacted. One of the characters is at the centre of a dark storyline on the show with fans also predicting he's caught up in another horrifying twist.
Arthur Thomas and Anthony Fox are set to feature together in some scenes in the New Year. Teenager Arthur is helped by Ruby Miligan's father with his homework. Struggling with the work in the café, he's surprised when he gets some unexpected help from Anthony. But given the randomness of this spoiler, could there be more to it? Might the ITV soap want us to think that way?.
It certainly caught the attention of some viewers, who were unsure on the significance of the looming scene set to air in January. Fans were unsure why Anthony of all people would interact with Arthur, although he really could just be helping him. Given what we found out about Anthony in a recent episode, fans are fearing the worst and that Anthony might have a sickening agenda. We recently saw in a flashback episode that Ruby had been sexually abused by her father Anthony when she was a teenager.
Ahead of her exposing his sick abuse, she's spiralling and has hit the bottle unable to cope with his presence in the village. With fans fearing it will turn out Anthony is the biological father of Ruby's daughter Steph, the abuse could also explain why Ruby was adamant she would keep her daughter away from her grandparents when she was younger.
