Emmerdale fans are abuzz with speculation regarding a potential DNA twist involving Ruby Milligan and her late mother, Helen Fox. Following Helen’s unexpected death, viewers believe she had significant information to share with Ruby before she passed, creating a sense of intrigue around her final days. Helen had been estranged from Ruby, and her husband, Caleb Milligan, intercepted a call meant for Ruby, demanding £100,000 for her to visit. Although Helen complied, she hinted that she had vital news to share, suggesting issues in her marriage and a desire to reconcile with Ruby.
Helen’s mysterious revelations may also pertain to Caleb and Ruby’s yet-to-be-introduced daughter, Stephanie. This has led fans to speculate about a hidden truth in Ruby’s parentage. Some theorists suggest that Helen’s initial disapproval of Ruby’s relationship with Caleb could be linked to paternity, speculating that Ruby’s real father might be a former character from the village, possibly even Frank Tate. Given that Frank is Caleb’s father, this would imply that Ruby and Caleb could be half-siblings, creating further tension.
Despite the improbability of this theory, fans are not deterred, with discussions on social media about the possibility that Helen intended to reveal Ruby’s true father. As viewers await the revelations from Helen’s solicitor regarding her estate, many are also convinced that Helen’s secret ties to Stephanie may serve as a precursor to her character’s introduction, adding yet another layer of complexity to Ruby’s story. The unfolding drama promises to reveal long-buried secrets that could alter Ruby’s life forever.
