EXCLUSIVE: Emmerdale fans convinced none of the six suspects kills Anthony as they predict amazing twist
‘It’s never the obvious one’
In Emmerdale this week, Anthony Fox is killed. But fans are convinced there is a twist.
Recent scenes saw Anthony outed for his sexual abuse of daughter Ruby when she was a teenager. In a flash forward scene he was shown dead on the floor with blood pouring from him.
Emmerdale Insider readers believe there is more to the situation than meets the eye and have suggested that none of the obvious suspects are responsible for Anthony’s death.
Anthony dies in Emmerdale
During Monday’s episode (January 20), word spread about Anthony’s history. As the episode went on, the suspects for his murder mounted up.
As the episode drew to a close, Caleb Miligan approached his father-in-law and demanded he get in his car with him. A flashforward scene then showed Anthony laying in a puddle of blood.
Ruby, Caleb, Chas, Cain, Aaron and Laurel have been named as suspects, and spoilers for Tuesday’s episode show Caleb pointing a gun at Anthony, but does he pull the trigger?
Fans predict a twist
An exclusive poll for Emmerdale Insider has revealed that 62% of fans believe Emmerdale is tricking us and the culprit won’t be any of the main suspects.
Those fans have their own theories over what happened. Despite Caleb holding the gun, one fan insisted: “It’s never the obvious one.”
Many believe Steph Miligan will be the killer. “The granddaughter will hear them and she will kill him,” wrote one viewer, while another agreed, writing: “I think Steph overhears what’s happening and pulls the trigger.” A third fan said: “Maybe Steph shoots him, plot twist.”
Other fans have a theory that Anthony will take his own life. One fan predicted: “Caleb hands the gun to Anthony and tells him to do the right thing.”
While some viewers even believes Anthony’s death will be an accident. One fan wrote on Instagram: “He will slip, trip and fall, he [Caleb] won’t shoot him.” Another fan added: “He might just collapse from his head injury?”
Who will be responsible for Anthony’s death?
