The who killed Anthony Fox storyline is currently the focus in Emmerdale, but although Caleb is seen with a gun in his hands, fans are convinced Steph is the real killer.

Recent scenes have seen the villagers discover the truth about Anthony – that he abused daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan when she was a kid.

There are no shortage of suspects for his murder, but it’s Steph Miligan who fans are looking at.

Anthony Fox is killed in Emmerdale

In Monday’s episode, news quickly worked its way round the village that Anthony abused a child.

Upon being told the news, Nicola rushed home where she’d left Anthony alone with Angelica. After hearing Nicola’s accusations, Anthony got physically aggressive. She was saved by Laurel, who knocked Anthony out with a candlestick.

Meanwhile, the revelation had hit Chas hard and brought back memories of her ex Gordon, who had abused their son Aaron.

Aaron, himself, was unsettled when he witnessed an uncomfortable conversation between Ruby and her dad.

The most furious of all was Caleb, who had not only discovered that his wife was abused by her own father, but that Steph is not his biological daughter.

In Tuesday’s episode Caleb points a gun at Anthony. But with no shortage of suspects wanting Anthony dead, is it actually Caleb who pulls the trigger?

Emmerdale fans suspect Steph

With Caleb being seen holding the gun, fans have come to the conclusion that it would now be ‘too obvious’ for him to be the killer and have instead turned their focus to Steph.

“It’s never the obvious one,” wrote one fan on Facebook. While another added: “Caleb is too obvious. I reckon will be the daughter [Steph].”

Other fans were in agreement and predicted that Steph would overhear a conversation revealing Anthony to be her father. A third fan wrote: “The granddaughter will hear them and she will kill him,” with a fourth fan adding: “I think Steph over hears what’s happening and pulls the trigger.”

A fifth fan wrote: “Definitely Steph. Caleb is innocent,” while a sixth said: “Maybe the daughter shoots him, plot twist.”
