It’s the week of Ruby Fox-Miligan’s mother’s will reading, in Emmerdale spoilers next week – and there’s a huge shock in store.

Ruby’s estranged mother recently died. However, before then, shifty-son-in-law Caleb took the opportunity to blackmail her, demanding money if she ever wanted to see her daughter again.

Mum Helen died anyway, leaving Ruby without a sense of closure. However, in the weeks since, she has discovered that Caleb in fact visited her mother on her deathbed.

Caleb has managed to talk his way out of trouble so far, with Ruby still none the wiser about the deal he made with her mother. But for how much longer will his secret stay buried?

And what fresh revelations will Helen’s will reading dig up?
