Emmerdale confirmed that Caleb and Ruby Miligan do have a second child after months of confusion, with their identity let slip on the ITV soap on Tuesday
Viewers tuning into Emmerdale on Tuesday night saw more details emerge about Caleb Miligan’s mystery daughter.
There’s been around two mentions of a possible second child for Caleb and wife Ruby Miligan up until now, while nothing was ever confirmed. We’ve never met Nicky Miligan’s sibling, and they have never really been mentioned.
But their identity was revealed on Tuesday night in terms of a name, amid hints of an arrival for the mystery character. It appears the daughter in question is the child of both Ruby and Caleb.
Ruby’s mother Helen made her debut on Tuesday in a showdown with Caleb, with her asking about someone called Stephanie. Caleb interjected and shouted at his mother-in-law, who he and Ruby have been estranged from for years.
We learned more about what led to Ruby being separated for her family, after previous hints they did not approve of Caleb. Caleb revealed Ruby had fallen pregnant, either with Nicky or Stephanie, and that Helen and her husband tried to force Ruby to have an abortion.
When Ruby refused, Helen and Ruby’s father disowned her and kicked her out, sending her packing. Ruby and Caleb began their new lives together welcoming their baby, before going on to have a second child.
Interestingly Helen only mentioned Stephanie and not Nicky, suggesting something has happened there. Why is Stephanie absent from their lives and why is she never mentioned?
It’s not clear, but Helen seemed concerned when she asked Caleb whether he had seen anything of ‘Stephanie’ suggesting they were estranged. Caleb then barked back: “Don’t you dare say my kids’ names.”
Saying kids and not kid obviously confirms Nicky isn’t his only child, and that Stephanie is another of his children. He had previously said he had more than one child to former flame Leyla Harding, but it wasn’t clear at the time if he was lying.
