This week sparks the end of Anthony Fox in Emmerdale as he is killed off as part of a big whodunnit story. But a new fan theory has predicted that Anthony will end his own life.
Anthony arrived in the village a few months ago and viewers quickly discovered that he had abused his daughter Ruby when she was young.
While there are many people in the village, including Ruby Fox-Miligan herself, who’d like to see Anthony dead, viewers are predicting a huge twist.
Anthony Fox in Emmerdale
Shortly after Anthony arrived in the Dales, a special flashback episode revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was a child.
In the flashback scene, a young Ruby was seen celebrating her 16th birthday. Her father then approached her in her bedroom, while Ruby begged “not again, not today.”
Ruby had kept the secret for over 30 years, but last week she bravely confronted her father over what he had put her through. She also ordered a DNA test, which horrifically revealed that Anthony is Steph Miligan’s real father.
Chas and Caleb soon figured out the truth and news started to spread around the village about Anthony’s history. After Caleb ordered Anthony to get into his car, a flash forward scene showed a bloodied Anthony dead on the floor.
Caleb threatens Anthony with a gun, and Ruby, Chas, Cain, Aaron, Laurel and Nicola also all have motive, but will any of them kill Anthony?
New whodunnit fan theory
Emmerdale fans have suggested that the culprit could be Anthony himself.
Taking to X, a fan wrote: “Money on Anthony being that out of it after all the batterings, he gets the gun, fumbles and shoots himself. All major characters survive a jail sentence.”
Another fan had a similar idea, writing: “I think Anthony tries to grab the gun and it goes off.”
A third fan wrote: “Caleb hands the gun to Anthony and tells him to do the right thing.”
