Ruby is under pressure in Emmerdale spoilers

It’s been five months since Ruby ended the life of her abusive dad, and she’s been living with the guilt ever since. Only the members of the murder club – Caleb, Cain, Aaron, John, Chas, and now Steph – know what happened to Anthony. And only John knows where his body is.

The medic offered to dispose of the corpse and claimed he’d buried Anthony in the woods. That turned out to be a lie, meaning Anthony could be anywhere. So when Ruby learns a body has been found in the local lake she fears the worst.

Cain, Caleb and Chas are also terrified it’s Antony, particularly after learning the body has been underwater for  months. The gang meet to discuss their predicament and have a drink to stead their nerves. But as the pressure continues to mount, Ruby feels she has no other option but to confess.

Ruby prepares to confess everything

Caleb is alarmed by Ruby’s idea, and suggests they do a runner instead. The couple then inform Cain of their plan and he starts making arrangements for them to stay with his relatives in Ireland.

But when Caleb falls asleep, Ruby goes back on their agreement. She leaves him a note explaining her intentions, then slips out of the house and heads off to the police station. As Caleb awakes he realises where Ruby has gone and starts to panic.

Meanwhile, Ruby arrives at the cop shop and starts spilling the beans. She confesses the truth about her father’s harrowing abuse, and makes it clear Caleb has nothing to do with Anthony going missing.

The interview is interrupted by the arrival of a solicitor, who’s come to represent Ruby. But has she already said too much?

Will the family be able to get Ruby out of the mess she’s in? Or are they going to slip up, exposing her guilt as well as their own?
