Steph's unexpected arrival in Emmerdale has caused quite a stir, especially for her father Caleb. Last week, when she showed up, Caleb was caught off guard and didn't have much time to process the news before he was nearly run over by a forklift truck driven by the angry Jai Sharma. It was quite a chaotic moment, to say the least.
In the latest episode, Caleb finally had a chance to sit down and talk with his daughter when he invited her over for breakfast. However, their reunion was cut short when Ruby, Steph's mother, returned home earlier than expected from her visit to see their son Nicky. Ruby was shocked to see Steph in the kitchen and immediately asked Caleb for some alone time with her daughter. It was evident that there was a lot of tension between the two, and Ruby wanted to address it.
Feeling the tension in the air, Caleb decided to take a break and went to the Woolpack to talk to his sister, Chas Dingle. As they discussed Steph's sudden appearance, Caleb began to reveal more about their family's past and the reason for the rift between him and his daughter.
Chas was taken aback to learn that Caleb had a daughter as Steph had never been mentioned before. Caleb explained that Steph had never forgiven him and Ruby for sending her to boarding school. This happened after Steph caught Caleb cheating on Ruby with another woman. Caleb had begged her not to say anything to her mother, and the secret weighed heavily on Steph. When Ruby eventually found out, she was furious and this caused even more tension in the family.
As a rebellious reaction, Steph started acting out, which ultimately led to her stealing a car. In a heart-to-heart between Steph and Ruby, it was revealed that this was the final straw that led to Steph being sent to boarding school. Her parents didn't even tell her about it until they arrived at the school and left her there. Steph had a difficult time at the school and was bullied.
Caleb opened up to Chas about how he regretted not standing up for Steph at the time. He felt torn between his daughter and his wife's reaction to the affair. He tearfully described how Steph was his "little mate" and how close they used to be. He couldn't bear to talk about her because it hurt too much. He even admitted that it was easier to pretend she didn't exist.
Despite all of this, Caleb made it clear that he couldn't lose Steph again and promised to do whatever it takes to make things right. Meanwhile, Steph had left and had a run-in with Ruby, resulting in Ruby slapping her. Caleb reassured Ruby that they would get their daughter back, and she was "the best of both of us."
However, Steph had already left and ended up at the B&B with Ross Barton, the village's resident bad boy. This move is unlikely to make things any easier for her and her parents. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen if Caleb and Ruby can reconcile with their daughter and mend their broken family.
