A character in Emmerdale tells his family about his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Anthony sat his family down and shared some heartbreaking news. The newest member of the Emmerdale community, Anthony Fox, revealed to his granddaughter Steph that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It was a difficult conversation, but Anthony knew he had to tell his family the truth.

Earlier this month, Anthony had a heated exchange with his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan and she ordered him to leave the village. However, on Friday's episode, Anthony returned unexpectedly to Mill Cottage to break the news to Steph. She was shocked and gave her granddad a hug as he explained that he had been undergoing tests and received the definitive diagnosis while he was away in Portsmouth.

Despite the grim news, Anthony assured his family that he can live with the cancer and Steph was determined to make the most of every moment with him. The diagnosis has also made Anthony realize the importance of making things right with his daughter Ruby, whom he hadn't seen in over three decades. It was clear that Anthony wanted to mend their relationship before it was too late.

Steph wasted no time in informing Caleb Miligan, her husband, about Anthony's diagnosis. Without hesitation, they both rushed back to Mill Cottage to check on Ruby and see how she was coping with the news. Ruby, who is known for her strong and independent personality, remained quiet and distracted herself with some cleaning.

After hearing the news, Caleb and Steph were insistent that Ruby make things right with Anthony, but she expressed doubt in her ability to do so. It was clear that something was weighing heavily on Ruby's mind. Will she be able to open up to her family and reconcile with her father before it's too late?
