Emmerdale’s Ruby Fox-Milligan goes too far next week when her temper lands her in very hot water with the Dingles.
The fiery estranged wife of Caleb Milligan showed up in the village earlier this year and has wasted no time in creating a slew of enemies in the village, especially after learning about Caleb’s affair with Tracy Metcalfe which she took delight in exposing to the stunned Dingles earlier this year.
Emmerdale’s Ruby Fox-Miligan goes too far next week when her temper lands her in very hot water with the Dingles after she injures Chas Dingle following her double mastectomy
In upcoming scenes, Ruby is furious to find out her carefully laid plans for a life away from the village with Caleb have been undone by a single conversation with his sister Chas Dingle. Chas recently discovered a lump in her breast which led to a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer.
Chas, who has since learnt she has the faulty BRCA2 gene and has encouraged her family to get tested, has since undergone a double mastectomy and it has brought the Dingles even closer as they all rally around Chas. Following Ruby’s discovery, Caleb receives a warm welcome in The Woolpack but it quickly sours with the arrival of Ruby, who is looking for a fight.
A slanging match in the pub between Ruby and the Dingles takes a dark turn when Ruby accidentally elbows Chas in the chest following her double mastectomy. In the fallout from Ruby injuring Chas, the character is left broken and alone when Caleb publicly rejects her, siding with his family the Dingles.
Later, Ruby is inconsolable as she sits outside the pub on her own and Dawn Fletcher is left worried for her when Caleb emerges from The Woolpack, incandescent with rage over her unacceptable behaviour. Will Ruby be able to convince Caleb that she elbowed Chas by accident and make amends with the angry Dingles?
Ruby is played by actress Beth Cordingly, who said earlier this year about joining Emmerdale: “I’m delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale, it’s an enormous privilege and Ruby is a dream role. She’s a firecracker and a trouble-maker and I think people will love her or hate her, and I can’t wait to get stuck in with this fabulous cast.”
