Emmerdale viewers reckon they've sussed out Anthony Fox's next move after the recent shocking incest DNA revelation. The villain first appeared in the Dales last year as Ruby Fox-Miligan's (Beth Cordingly) long-lost father and has been stirring up trouble ever since.
As Anthony made himself at home, Ruby began to unravel, clearly harbouring a secret about her dad. In a twist, Ruby cheated on Caleb (William Ash) with his half-brother Cain (Jeff Hordley). However, it was later disclosed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was just 14. Furthermore, hints have been dropped that Anthony might be the biological father of Ruby's daughter Steph (Georgia Jay).
After sharing her uncertainty about Steph's paternity with sister-in-law Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), Ruby ordered a DNA test kit. This week, she discovered that Caleb is not Steph's father - pointing to Anthony as the likely dad. Caleb eventually stumbled upon the results, leaving him devastated. Ruby didn't disclose the full extent of Anthony's abuse - and without knowing the whole truth, Caleb threw her out, reports Leeds Live.
In Thursday's episode (January 16), a terrified Ruby woke up in the village B&B to find Anthony in her room watching her. A confrontation followed, during which Anthony continued to manipulate her about her past. Anthony was left gobsmacked when Ruby dropped the bombshell truth: he was indeed Steph's father. But there's more drama to come, as next week's spoilers tease that Anthony will meet a grisly end at the hands of a shock villager.
