This article contains discussion of child sexual abuse which some readers may wish to avoid.

Ruby’s life in the village was shaken a few weeks ago when Steph arrived, and it soon became clear the mother and daughter had a complicated relationship, having not seen each other in over a decade. Steph was quickly followed by Anthony, who Ruby had also been estranged from.

A special episode later delved into the reasons why, with a series of flashback scenes confirming Anthony had sexually abused Ruby as a child, and she’s kept the ordeal a secret ever since. Ruby’s husband Caleb Miligan (William Ash) has always believed Steph to be his daughter, and in scenes to air next week, Ruby sets about trying to quietly get some answers.
In recent scenes, Ruby bravely confided in Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) that Steph may not be Caleb’s daughter, revealing that she had been forced to have sex. Chas suggested that finding out the truth about Steph’s paternity might help her, and by the end of the episode Ruby had placed an order for a DNA testing kit.
