Emmerdale fans are concerned that Caleb and Ruby could die following a comment about them being the modern day Romeo and Juliet.
In Monday’s episode (Monday, January 6) Caleb reminisced about he and Ruby having to sneak around. Now fans are worried that this could be a clue of what is to come.
Both Caleb and Ruby have proven to be popular characters since joining the ITV soap. But could the end be near for them?
What happened in Emmerdale?
Following the revelation that Anthony Fox sexually abused daughter Ruby when she was a teenage, there has been lots of hints that Steph might not be Caleb’s daughter.
In a recent episode of Emmerdale, Caleb Miligan once against spoke about the time Steph was conceived.
Playing Made of Stone by the Stone Roses, he grabbed Ruby as he told her “it’s our song”.
While Steph mocked her parents for listening to old music, Caleb informed her that the song was the soundtrack to her being here. “There we were, me and your mum, playing tunes like this and sneaking around. Hiding in corners and well several things lead to several other things,” he told a mortified Steph.
During this time, Anthony had made his way into the room and was watching on. Caleb spotted him and added: “And you know what? It was all to avoid the disapproval of someone not a million miles from here.”
Anthony then said: “I guess you were the modern day Romeo and Juliet,” with Caleb agreeing that yes they were.
Emmerdale Fan theory predicts sad ending for Caleb and Ruby
Following the episode, a fan took to social media to question if there was a deeper meaning to the Romeo and Juliet comment.
“Erm ‘Modern day Romeo & Juliet’ comment in tonight’s Emmerdale… that better not be a hint to Caleb and Ruby both dying later this year. Ruby is one of the best things to happen to Emmerdale in a long time, so I’ll be raging,” they wrote on X.
Another fan agreed and added: “Well we know from the flashforword, Caleb will be in hospital and at death’s door.”
Could this theory become a reality?
