Next week, Caleb Milligan is in for a shock when he receives some unexpected news. Emmerdale fans will see Caleb trying to use a character's impending death to his advantage in a new storyline. Things take a turbulent turn for Caleb and his wife Ruby when her estranged mother Helen reaches out to her in her final moments.
Last Friday, Ruby received a call from a withheld number as she left the hospital after the barn fire incident. Caleb answered and asked the caller not to call again. However, next week, they try again and it is revealed to be Ruby's mother, whom she hasn't seen in 30 years.
Actor William Ash, who plays Caleb, explains that Helen and her husband completely cut Ruby out of their lives due to disapproval of her relationship with Caleb. He describes the call as "totally out of the blue."
Caleb is understandably wary and doesn't trust Helen's intentions due to her past manipulative and hurtful behavior. But he decides to see her anyway, partly because of the possibility of giving Ruby some closure and potentially mending their relationship. However, things don't go as planned.
It turns out that Helen is not interested in reconciliation. Instead, she reveals that she doesn't have long to live. This prompts Caleb to see an opportunity to make some money by using the situation to his advantage. He needs to raise funds to secure Jimmy King's share of the haulage firm.
William explains that Caleb's actions may seem devious, but in his mind, it's payback for all the pain Helen caused Ruby in the past. He sees it as a chance to secure their future. However, he also knows that Ruby will not see it the same way and will most likely be furious when she finds out.
Ruby has always been hurt by her family, and Caleb wants to protect her from further pain. But he also knows that his actions may jeopardize their relationship. The stakes are high, and the consequences could be enormous.
Meeting Helen will also provide viewers with a glimpse into Ruby's character and help them understand her better. William shares that Ruby is quite fragile beneath her tough exterior due to her family's mistreatment. This backstory helps fill in the gaps and explains why Ruby is the way she is.
The question remains, will Ruby be able to reconcile with her mother before it's too late?
