Emmerdale spoilers: Ruby struggles to forgive Anthony for the past

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Ruby continues to struggle with Anthony being back in her life.

Ruby made it clear to everyone in her family that Anthony was not welcome. Viewers know that Ruby’s parents wanted her to have a termination instead of going through with her pregnancy, and kicked her out when she refused.

However, her reaction to Anthony arriving made some fans think there may be a much more sinister backstory between them. As many predict Caleb isn’t Steph’s father.

But now that Steph has brought Anthony back in to Ruby’s life, she seems to go on a downward spiral.
