When Ruby was a child, her father abused her. Even though Anthony Fox is dead, he still haunts her in Emmerdale. He was controlling and manipulative, using gaslighting and psychological torture to torment Ruby. Eventually, the truth came out that he was not only a nasty and evil person, but also a sexual abuser.
Chas Dingle finally realized the truth after a DNA test revealed that Caleb was not Steph's father. In her search for the identity of her real father, Chas discovered that it was actually Ruby's own father. She couldn't keep this horrifying secret to herself and confided in Nicola and Laurel, telling them about Anthony's true nature and how he privately tutored young and vulnerable Angel.
Before things could get any worse for Anthony, he suddenly turned up dead. Viewers know that he was shot, but the rest of the village believes he simply disappeared. His car is gone and Steph is convinced that her parents had something to do with it, taking out her anger on them.
Caleb tries to calm her down by telling her that Anthony has always been unreliable, but for Ruby, this is too much to handle. She begins to crumble under the weight of her traumatic memories and her nerves are shot. She's on the verge of another devastating spiral. Can Caleb save her from herself?
But the bad news doesn't end there for Ruby. Chas confesses to her best friend that she revealed Anthony's true nature to Nicola. This triggers Ruby's anger and she demands that Chas take back what she said in order to protect Steph, who is unaware of her grandfather's true character. Chas reluctantly agrees, leaving Nicola and Laurel confused.
Meanwhile, Chas has no idea that the two women are still hiding their own secret - they were the ones who attacked Anthony with a candlestick before his death. Learning that he may not have been a child abuser after all puts them in a difficult position. They pretend to be relieved by Chas' admission, but in reality, they are anything but. Laurel now feels compelled to do the right thing and go to the police. But will she end up incriminating herself as Anthony's suspected murderer? Only time will tell.
