Beth had recently joined the cast of Emmerdale, playing the feisty and outspoken character of Ruby Fox-Miligan. She had quickly made a name for herself on the show, both with the viewers and the other characters. Ruby was not one to hold back her thoughts, especially after a few glasses of wine. Her sharp wit and savage comebacks were a source of entertainment for the audience.
In an interview, Beth shared her thoughts on Ruby's character, drawing inspiration from the lively Gloria from the show Modern Family. She also mentioned the challenge of finding the logic and justification behind Ruby's impulsive actions, as they were quite different from her own reactions. However, she thoroughly enjoyed playing this role, as it reminded her of a previous character she had portrayed in a soap years ago.
Beth recalled playing a rebellious teenager in a Channel 5 soap, and how she had to tap into her own mischievous side to bring that character to life. She had to do the same with Ruby, especially in scenes where her behavior crossed the line. Beth's family, on the other hand, would get worried about her being trolled for playing such a disliked character.
One of the ways Ruby ruffled feathers in the village was by mimicking the accents of the locals, including the Scottish one of Moira. Beth revealed that this was her own improvisation, and the reactions of her co-stars were priceless. She even used this tactic to try and bring two characters, Cain and Caleb, back together after a disagreement.
But not everyone was a fan of Ruby's antics. Beth acknowledged that there were viewers who either loved or hated her character, and she could understand why some might be horrified by her behavior. However, she also saw the rationale behind Ruby's actions, as they were often written in the script as a nightmare for her character to deal with. Ultimately, Beth was having a blast playing such a chaotic and unpredictable character on Emmerdale.
As an added bonus, she got to showcase her singing skills on the show when Ruby decided to use karaoke as a means to mend a broken relationship. Her rendition of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" in a thick Yorkshire accent had her co-stars struggling to keep a straight face. But for Beth, it was just another day at work, having fun with her character on the set of Emmerdale.
