Emmerdale fans are convinced Ruby Fox Milligan (played by Beth Cordingly) and her husband Caleb (William Ash) have a secret daughter. The couple waved goodbye to their son Nicky (Lewis Cope) last week after he bowed out of the village after discovering his parents were telling yet more lies to cover up their recent wrongdoing.

When Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) became suspicious over the Milligan family’s potential involvement in Ethan’s hit-and-run, Caleb decided to take the blame for the incident rather than let Ruby get into trouble.

Caleb and Ruby tried to bring Nicky in on their latest ruse, but he finally lost patience and realised that it was time to leave the village with Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana).

Although Nicky had a chance to clarify that Ruby was the hit-and-run driver rather than Caleb, he chose to keep the truth under wraps.

As Nicky said his goodbye, Ruby tried to change his mind but he refused to talk. However, some viewers of the ITV soap are certain Nicky has as a sister.

Taking to a Reddit thread dedicated to Emmerdale, one fan asked if Caleb and Ruby are parents to another child.

They wrote: “Do Ruby and Caleb have a daughter? I’ve heard a good few people talking about Nicky’s sister. When Nicky got into the car crash, some people were wondering if Nick’s sister would come to the village.”

Before adding: “I was wondering where people got the idea that Nicky had a sister. I don’t remember any mentions of her and if he does have one, Ruby and Caleb clearly don’t care about her.”

The statement sparked flurries of comments from viewers who agreed, with one person replying: “Nicky completed mismatched with Caleb and Ruby. Yes – maybe a daughter who has previously “divorced” herself from the dysfunctional duo could make an appearance??”
