Emmerdale fans are in for a treat as Beth Cordingly, who portrays Ruby Miligan, announces her return to the Dales after a break from filming. Known for her fiery attitude and dramatic storylines, Ruby’s comeback is set to stir up some old and new tensions in the Yorkshire-based soap.

Ruby’s Emotional Journey: From Dark Secrets to Spiraling Despair

Ruby Miligan’s time in Emmerdale has been anything but simple. After arriving in the Dales with a fierce personality, Ruby’s past was soon revealed, including the heartbreaking and disturbing truth about her estranged father, Anthony Fox. Flashbacks depicted the repeated abuse Ruby endured as a child, and the shocking revelation that Anthony fathered her daughter, Steph, added even more complexity to her already troubled past.

The aftermath of Anthony’s death, at Ruby’s own hands, was devastating for her. After finding Anthony’s lifeless body, brutally attacked by Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), Ruby spiraled into a dark place. John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) took on the task of disposing of Anthony’s body, but the mystery of where he’s buried remains unsolved.

Ruby’s guilt and emotional turmoil were only intensified when the police found a body that was later identified as Nate Robinson. It was at this moment that Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) stepped in, helping Ruby by having someone in Spain pretend to be Anthony, so that her family could begin to heal and move on from the traumatic events.

Ruby’s Absence and Return to Emmerdale

After these emotionally charged moments, Ruby has been absent from many recent storylines, giving viewers a chance to miss her presence. However, Beth Cordingly’s announcement on Instagram signals her return to the show. She shared a post from the Balearic Islands, where she had been enjoying a well-deserved holiday. Alongside a photo showing off two brand new henna tattoos, Beth revealed she was officially back on set, dressed head to toe in Ruby’s iconic wardrobe.

In her post, she wrote: “Ruby’s back. (And so is her hair, makeup and costume, thank God!)” She even blew a kiss to the camera, signaling that Ruby’s fierce attitude and fiery spirit are back in full force.

Ruby’s Tensions and Family Drama

Ruby’s return to Emmerdale comes at a pivotal moment in the storyline. Recently, Ruby had a heated argument with Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) after discovering she had a one-night stand with Ross Barton (Mike Parr), who had a complicated on-and-off relationship with Ruby’s daughter, Steph. Ruby’s conflict with Manpreet is just the beginning of the drama to come, as Ruby’s complicated family dynamics and lingering tensions are set to take center stage.

In a recent twist, Steph announced she would be leaving the Dales for a yoga retreat in Rome. After an emotional goodbye from her parents, Ross tried to convince her to stay, but it was too late. Steph will be leaving the show for a period of time, as the actress prepares to go on maternity leave.

With Ruby’s return and Steph’s departure, it’s clear that more drama and family upheaval are on the horizon in Emmerdale.

Conclusion: Ruby’s Return to the Spotlight

Ruby Miligan’s return to Emmerdale promises to bring fresh conflict, intense emotional moments, and perhaps some answers to the mysteries surrounding her past. With tensions mounting and family secrets bubbling to the surface, it seems Ruby’s journey is far from over.
