Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale dropped the bombshell news that Ruby killed her abusive father, Anthony. Wracked with guilt because he thought he’d done it, Aaron turned up at her home, determined to confess to killing her father.
As he shared details from his past with Gordon, Aaron broke down and told her that he’d killed her dad. Unable to ease his guilt, Ruby saw no option but to come clean herself – revealing that she had been the one who finished the old man off.
