So it looks like Steph Miligan will finally discover her ‘perfect’ grandad Anthony Fox is actually a child abuser in Emmerdale next week. Finally.

She has spent many weeks behaving like a total and utter brat, it’s like she is a teenager, not a 30-something business woman. She is awful to her mum Ruby and surely must realise there’s more to her mum’s behaviour than she knows about.

But still she chooses to ignore her fragile, vulnerable mother and bang on about her poor, missing grandad.

Steph needs to know in Emmerdale

It’s been exhausting watching her constantly bang on about a man we know to be vile and inhumane. And yes, it’s been Ruby’s decision to keep the truth from her daughter to protect her from the horror that will surely unfold when she realises her grandad is also her dad. But still, this was a secret that could never be kept for long.

As the murder club continually try to cover up the truth – and continually fight amongst themselves, they have done a very bad job of throwing Steph off the scent. And finally she will find the gun and confront her parents.

With her determined to go to the police, it looks like they will have little choice but to tell her next week. And it’s about time.

Shattered family

Georgia Jay has previously spoken about what will happen when Steph finds out. Speaking to The Mirror, Georgia said: “She feels betrayed, ashamed, angry and, at the same time, just in total despair for herself and her mother. She’s carrying the weight of her mother’s pain and trauma. It’s going to be a really rocky road for Steph in terms of this whole identity being shattered.”

But traumatic or not, the time is now to reveal the truth so the family can heal. The Fox-Miligans are fast becoming one of the best families in the Dales and it’s time to cement their status – and turn Steph into the type of character everyone can warm to – much like Ruby has become.
