EMMERDALE fans have predicted that a bombshell incest twist could be about to hit Ruby Fox-Milligan.
The character, portrayed by actress Beth Cordingly, recently discovered that her mother Helen Fox had passed away but she did not get a chance to say goodbye to her.
Instead, her husband Caleb had been hiding the secret that Helen had been in touch with him and told *her* about her impending death.
Caleb was keen to not let Ruby find out about Helen and refused to tell Ruby about Helen’s *condition*.
He appeared to be wanting to keep them apart amid a slew of secrets running through their family.
Instead, Caleb insisted that he wanted £100,000 for bringing Ruby to the hospital to see her.
Helen later clarified that she had the bombshell news to drop that she had divorced Ruby’s dad amid an unhappy marriage.
She was also the first to mention Caleb and Ruby’s hidden daughter Stephanie and it was clear that she had some information to share either about Stephanie or too her.
It led some Emmerdale viewers to speculate that Helen could have been preparing to drop a DNA bombshell *on* the family.
It got fans thinking that Helen may have been hinting that Ruby’s father whom she had divorced was in fact not her father at all.
One fan then even mooted the idea that a sickening incest twist could have been Helen’s surprise reveal and that Ruby and Caleb could actually be half-siblings.
Suggesting that Frank Tate could be Ruby’s dad as well, one imaginative viewer penned: “Maybe her father wasn’t *her* father, Maybe it was Frank Tate like Caleb…just a thought.”
It sparked the wild theory that they are both husband and wife and brother and sister.
Could Caleb have known this and been trying to *hide* it from Ruby all along, hence his decision to stop her from visiting Helen in the hospital?
Caleb is the child of Faith Dingle and Frank Tate after it was revealed they had a shock affair.
Frank is the ex of Kim and the reason *why* Caleb has a vendetta against her and Home Farm as he has always felt he should be entitled to half of his estate by being his son.
