Fans were instantly intrigued by Caleb Miligan (William Ash) when he first introduced himself as Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) half-brother back in 2022, and since then he has become a part of the Emmerdale furniture.

He was at the centre of a huge twist when he was revealed to also be the son of Frank Tate and the father of Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope), and fans gasped as his plan to take down Kim Tate (Claire King) was finally rumbled.

But the drama didn’t stop there, as he was soon joined in the village by wife Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) – and what a breath of fresh air she has been.

From warring with Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) to breaking up Tracy and Nate Robinson’s (Amy Walsh and Jurell Carter) marriage, there has been no shortage of drama – and comedy – where Ruby is concerned.

More recently, viewers have seen her run over Ethan Anderson (Emil John) in retaliation for him leaving son Nicky for dead – something that she later confided in Caleb about.

Since then, Emmerdale’s very own Bonnie and Clyde have made peace with Ethan’s family – but will it last?

Whether or not it comes from the Anderson family, there is certainly trouble ahead for Caleb and Ruby – as new boss Sophie Roper has revealed.

‘We’ve got Caleb and Ruby, who’ve landed in the village and had a real impact but we don’t know much about them,’ Sophie began, as she gave us the run down of what to expect from the eponymous village during her tenure.

‘There’s lots in terms of their history, particularly Ruby’s, that is yet unknown. We’re going to see a bit of a blast from their past come back and really give us more about this complicated relationship between husband and wife and the complicated family dynamics we have there.

‘So lots to stay tuned for in terms of Caleb and Ruby and their wider story.’

Ruby and Caleb were left devastated when son Nicky decided to leave the village with boyfriend Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) in recent scenes, after both men decided that they could no longer put up with their families’ lies.

Will Nicky also return, or will the have to deal with whatever comes next without him?
