ITV Emmerdale bosses tease new arrival in Ruby storyline as past finally exposed

It looks like we will learn more about Ruby Fox-Miligan’s past and how she ended up with Caleb as an Emmerdale producer teased a new character could be on their way

Emmerdale fans will soon be learning more about Ruby Fox-Miligan’s sad past.

Sophie Roper, the newest producer for Emmerdale, has revealed to The Mirror and other press that viewers will delve deeper into Ruby and Caleb Miligan’s relationship, following the departure of their son Nicky last month.

She teased that there is “a lot of their history” to still uncover and hinted a new character might be on their way, revealing that a “blast from their past” arrives and tells us more about Ruby’s past and the couple’s complicated relationship.

Speaking about what’s to come on the ITV soap, producer Sophie revealed: “Elsewhere, we’ve got Caleb and Ruby, who have landed in the village and had a real impact. But we don’t know a huge amount about them and there’s lots in terms of their history, particularly Ruby’s, that is yet unknown. We’re going to see a bit of a blast from their past come back and really give us some more information about this complicated relationship between husband and wife, and also the complicated family dynamics.”

Ruby is currently targeting Kim Tate, desperate to bring her down for the sake of her husband.

Discussing why she’s like that, Beth Cordingly – who plays Ruby – shared recently: “Ultimately, she’s doing it for Caleb. She wants to make him happy. She’s conceded that being with his family does that, even if she does whinge about living in the village, so her next step comes because of Caleb’s beef with Kim – she wants to punish her. Ruby also has her own thing with Kim, though.

“Remember when she and Kim were in cahoots and it ended badly, Ruby left saying, ‘You don’t want to cross me!’ and Kim laughed in her face. So, there’s a bit of pride in there for Ruby with this – she’s one of those people that’s not very good at letting things go.”

Asked who might come out top, she warned it would be a closer call than one might think. She said: “Ruby is passionate and impulsive, whereas Kim’s far cooler and doesn’t get her feathers ruffled. We get the impression that Ruby and Caleb have been tough for quite a long time with a lot of people. But is she up to Kim? Well, we’ll see…”
