Caleb Miligan had a lot on his mind as he headed to the hospital on Monday's episode of Emmerdale. His sister-in-law, Moira Dingle, had just received the devastating news that she had a brain tumor. As he arrived, he found Mackenzie trying to calm down Cain, who was understandably upset by the news. The neurosurgeon had informed Moira and her family that they would be taking a "watch and wait" approach to her treatment.
But it wasn't just Moira and Cain who needed Caleb's help. His wife, Ruby, was also struggling after narrowly escaping a barn fire that almost took her life. Moira, who was suffering from hallucinations, had mistaken Ruby for her old enemy and threatened her with a shotgun. This led to a massive blaze that nearly killed both women. Ruby was still trying to process the traumatic experience, but Caleb was more concerned about the Dingle family.
As fate would have it, Ruby's bad day continued when she dropped her bag and got flustered. Luckily, Chas was there to help. Despite their past issues, Chas recognized Ruby's vulnerability and took her back to the Woolpack. After a few drinks, Ruby's mood improved and she even invited Chas to dinner the next day.
When Caleb finally arrived, Ruby's good mood did not extend to him. She was upset that he had been checking in on Cain instead of worrying about her. She opened up to him about the events of the day and how she had been put in danger because of Moira's actions. Caleb reassured her that she was the most important thing in his life and he couldn't imagine losing her.
But Ruby had one request for Caleb – to step up and be the one she could lean on. She was tired of feeling like she was the only one who could handle things. Caleb promised to do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it meant confronting the person who had been calling him repeatedly.
Speaking of that mysterious caller, we know that Ruby's dying mother, Helen, will soon make an appearance in their lives. Ruby hadn't seen her in 30 years, as Helen had cut her off from the family because of her relationship with Caleb. Caleb was worried about how this reunion would affect Ruby, especially since Helen had always been hurtful towards her.
But Caleb was willing to do anything to protect his wife, even if it meant taking matters into his own hands. When he received another call from the mystery person, he made it clear that he would do whatever it takes to keep Ruby safe. He even agreed to meet them, but not without issuing a dark threat – he would not hesitate to put them "six feet under."
As actor William Ash, who plays Caleb, explained, Caleb's fear for Ruby's safety will drive him to extreme measures. He knows that Helen has a history of hurting Ruby and he will do everything in his power to prevent that from happening again. But will he go as far as murder? Only time will tell.

In a recent interview, William Ash shared some insight into Caleb's past and his relationship with Helen. He revealed that Caleb had been in a care home and had no family when he met Ruby. Helen, who has always been manipulative and cruel, never trusted Caleb and saw him as beneath her daughter. This has caused Caleb to have a deep mistrust for her and he will do whatever it takes to protect Ruby from her.
So, as Ruby's past comes back to haunt her and Caleb's fears intensify, it remains to be seen just how far he will go to protect his wife. Will he resort to murder? Tune in to find out.
