Steph to kill Anthony, Emmerdale fan theory suggests

There is a shocking Emmerdale death next week as someone in the village murders Ruby’s vile dad, Anthony.

Next week news about Anthony’s past spreads to some other villagers, and leaves many of them afraid, and wanting revenge.

The week begins with a flash-forward of a bloody tooth lying in the depot. But when a gunshot rings out who was the one to pull the trigger?

Here we take a look at all of the suspects in Anthony’s murder.

1. Are Laurel and Nicola responsible for the Emmerdale death?

Nicola and Laurel both hire Anthony to give their kids some private tutoring lessons. But when Chas hears this, she quickly tells Nicola to get home.

Rushing into her house, Nicola tries to kick Anthony out, informing him she knows he is a danger to children. This sends him reeling and things get physically threatening.

But luckily for Nicola, Laurel shows up and hits Anthony over the head with a candlestick.

While a gunshot is heard later, could the pair have teamed up to make sure he wouldn’t get near their children?

2. Chas Dingle

Ruby confided in Chas about the abuse, but never told her who it was. But as time goes on, it doesn’t take much for the Dingle to realise that Anthony was the one behind it.

She is quick to spread the news to Nicola and Cain. And the situation is sure to bring back memories of her son Aaron’s abuse at the hands of her ex Gordon.

So could Chas lash out at Anthony for putting his daughter through all of that torment?

3. Is Cain responsible for the Emmerdale death?

Cain gets concerned over Chas’ behaviour next week and tries to pressure her into confiding in him.

At the time, he’s just worried that his cheating scandal has gotten out. But once he hears the truth, he is shocked to his core.

Cain is no stranger to violence, and he has had his reservations about Anthony for a while. Could he think by killing his brother’s wife’s abuser that it would erase the guilt of cheating?

4. Aaron Dingle

Aaron is set to witness an unguarded conversation between Ruby and Anthony next week. And it is set to leave him feeling very uneasy.

With the situation between them, Aaron is inevitably reminded of his own history with his dad, Gordon, who sexually abused him.

And we all know Aaron also has a history of violence. Could he take his anger out on Anthony?

5. Could Caleb Miligan be the Emmerdale death culprit?

Caleb’s world is about to be flipped upside down as he discovers the disgusting truth about his father-in-law.

With him fully in the know, it would not be a surprise if Caleb wanted to kill Anthony.

As someone who is very protective of his family, is Caleb about to commit a murder for the woman he loves?

6. Does Ruby kill her dad?

Ruby has the most reasons to want Anthony dead. So could she be set to end her years of torment by killing her abuser?

Since Anthony turned up in the village, Ruby has been spiralling. And now that the truth is about to get out, she may want him gone more than ever.

Especially because he is in the know about her and Cain’s one night stand. So will she take the ultimate revenge?
