Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) is further haunted by her past in Emmerdale this week, as vile dad Anthony (Nicholas Day) reveals some health news. As viewers of the ITV soap know, Anthony raped her as a teenager and she has done everything in her power to avoid him throughout adulthood.

Flashback scenes allowed us to discover why she had such a strong reaction to his recent arrival in the village, when we were taken back to her teenage years. In shocking scenes, Anthony entered her bedroom and explained they were now alone in the house.

The scenes then developed, revealing that he had been sexually abusing Ruby. Last week, she was spooked by his presence at daughter Steph’s (Georgia Jay) birthday celebrations, and her upset was realised by friend Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter). When she arrived at The Woolpack to join the search effort for missing April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), Ruby was drunk and in a terrible state.

Chas tried to sober her up and sat down to ask her why she was so emotional. Ruby told her that over 30 years ago, she was forced to have sex – though refrained from admitting who her abuser was. She went onto explain that Steph’s birthday had made her doubt whether whether husband Caleb Miligan (William Ash) was their daughter’s father.
