In a shocking twist, Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has revealed the motives behind Ruby
Fox Milligan’s scheming against Kim Tate. Since her arrival in the village earlier this year,
Ruby has been a whirlwind of drama, especially in her attempt to rekindle her
marriage with Caleb after their son Nikki’s hospitalization. Ruby’s vendetta against Ethan Anderson, which even led her to run him over with her car, set the stage for her latest plot. Recently, Ruby has teamed up with Rose Jackson to take down Kim Tate, a plan that Cordingly hinted at in an interview with Inside Soap. “Ultimately, she’s doing it for Caleb,” Cordingly explained. Ruby believes that making Caleb happy means aligning with his family, despite her complaints about village life. This next move is fueled by Caleb’s longstanding feud with Kim, and Ruby is determined to make Kim pay. However, Ruby has her own unresolved issues with Kim.
Their previous collaboration ended in conflict, with Ruby leaving after a heated exchange where she warned Kim not to cross her, only for Kim to dismiss her threat with laughter. Ruby, driven by pride and unable to let go of past grievances, sees this as a personal vendetta. Cordingly described Ruby as passionate and impulsive, contrasting with Kim’s cool and unflappable demeanor. This dynamic sets the stage for an intense showdown, as Ruby and Caleb have a history of facing tough situations together.
But Ruby’s plans are kept secret from Caleb, a decision that Cordingly suggests might come back to haunt her character. “It’s going to be interesting with Caleb not knowing because if it backfires or kicks off, she’s going to have to pick up the pieces herself,” she said. The tension between Ruby and Caleb is palpable, fueled by their inability to stay apart. Their fiery relationship means that emotions could boil over at any moment, adding another layer of intrigue to this unfolding drama. Stay tuned to see how Ruby’s plot against Kim unfolds and whether she can navigate the consequences of her secretive scheming.
