Ruby's life has been consumed by fear. It's a constant weight on her shoulders, a nagging voice in the back of her mind. And last night's episode of Emmerdale only added to her anguish. As the flashback confirmed, Ruby Fox-Miligan was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her own father, Anthony. It was a heartbreaking moment for fans of the show, who watched as Ruby's childhood trauma was brought to light.
Anthony's arrival in the village sent shivers down Ruby's spine. She couldn't escape the memories of her past, the pain and fear that came with them. And it wasn't until now that we understood why. The flashbacks showed a 16-year-old Ruby at a party, surrounded by friends. But her father had other plans for her. He wanted her to be in a relationship with a boy named Rob, who she was just friends with. And when Rob showed interest in someone else, Anthony's true intentions were revealed.
After the party, Anthony took advantage of Ruby's vulnerability. He locked her in her room while her mother was out, leaving her feeling trapped and powerless. And now, years later, Anthony is trying to worm his way back into Ruby's life. He wants to be a part of her family, even on Christmas Day. But Ruby can't bear the thought of him being near her, let alone spending the holidays together. She feels sick to her stomach and desperately tries to find a way to lessen his presence.
Desperate and triggered, Ruby turns to her friend Chas for help. She invites Chas and her family over to distract from Anthony's presence. Little does she know, Caleb has also invited Moira and Cain, who are unaware of the tension. The family gathers at Mill Cottage for Christmas dinner, but Ruby can't shake off the feeling of unease. And when Anthony makes an announcement that he's staying in the village, Ruby's world comes crashing down.
But this storyline is more than just a fictional plot. It's a harsh reality for many women. And on November 25, 2024, Metro launched a year-long campaign called "This Is Not Right" to address the epidemic of violence against women. Throughout the year, they will be sharing stories to shed light on the magnitude of this issue. With the help of their partners at Women's Aid, they hope to engage and empower their readers to take action against violence towards women.
If you or someone you know has a story to share, you can email Metro and join the fight against violence towards women. It's a fight that needs everyone's help, including men. And as the family in Emmerdale enjoys their Christmas festivities, Ruby's story serves as a reminder that behind closed doors, many women are still suffering. But her strength and courage to speak out are a beacon of hope for those who are still trapped in the cycle of abuse.
