Georgia Jay confirms Steph will find out Anthony paternity truth – and it will ‘shatter her world’

Emmerdale star Georgia Jay has confirmed that Steph Miligan is set to find out the truth about Anthony – learning that he is her biological father. This comes after a DNA test revealed that Caleb isn’t Steph’s father by blood.

He confronted Ruby and, while she covered the truth for Steph’s sake, soon realised what had happened. Anthony was killed in the days following – first held at gunpoint by Caleb, then apparently beaten to death by Aaron afterwards. Steph, meanwhile, remains in the dark.

But how long before she learns the truth? Star Georgia Jay, who plays Steph on the soap, has explained what happens next.

Speaking to The Mirror, Georgia revealed that Steph already has her suspicions. “She’s not stupid – she picks up on the tension and the awkward glances between Ruby and Caleb, the half-finished sentences,” she told the tabloid.

Georgia continued: “They’re always shutting up the moment she comes into a room. She feels frustrated because she knows something is going on that is being kept from her.”

Talking about how Steph will feel when the truth comes out, Georgia said: “She feels betrayed, ashamed, angry and, at the same time, just in total despair for herself and her mother. She’s carrying the weight of her mother’s pain and trauma. It’s going to be a really rocky road for Steph in terms of this whole identity being shattered.”

But what’s next for Steph and her family?

Looking forward to the future, Georgia said: “I see this as the making of a true family because it’s all been built on a foundation of lies. It’ll be a long road but I do think they’ll build a family that’s really, really strong and built on trust.”

Meanwhile, in upcoming Emmerdale spoilers, as Steph continues to question her grandfather’s disappearance, Ruby begins to crumble. Is this how the truth comes out?
