Steph Miligan, AKA actress Georgia Jay, is rubbing the Emmerdale viewers up the wrong way right now. It’s partly her desperation to find her grandad and partly the awful tone she uses every time she speaks to her poor mum, Ruby.

But of course, Steph has a huge shock in store. Because we viewers know, though she doesn’t, that her beloved Grandad, Anthony, was an evil abuser who raped his own daughter.

AND she doesn’t know that Anthony isn’t just her grandad – he’s also her biological dad. Because his sexual abuse of Ruby led to her teenage pregnancy.

That’s a lot, but it’s not all Steph doesn’t know. She’s also unaware that Anthony is dead.

It’s all going on!

Georgia Jay on screen

Steph is played by Georgia Jay, who joined the soap late last year. She already had experience in television having appeared in award-winning series’ Girl/Haji, and Glow and Darkness alongside telly icon Joan Collins!

And sharp-eyed viewers will have seen Georgia make a brief appearance in this week’s Silent Witness on BBC One.

A Silent Witness quickie!

Georgia played a character called Camilla who appeared right at the very start of Monday’s episode.

Camilla and her husband arrived at a swanky hotel in Mumbai only to find a member of staff dead in their fancy suite!

It was the start of a deadly epidemic that was the focus of both dramatic episodes this week.

And the Emmerdale fans thought it was hilarious that Steph – or Georgia Jay to be exact – was right there in the thick of it!

“There’s no escaping her,” joked one fan. “Hope she’s not still looking for her grandad.”
