Three more Emmerdale exits ‘confirmed’ as major characters make big decisions
Three residents of the Emmerdale village were in the middle of making huge decisions to leave in Friday’s (July 5) episode of the ITV soap.
This week, Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) dealt with the aftermath of Charles (Kevin Mathurin) finding an important invoice that linked her family to Ethan’s (Emile John) hit and run.
When Charles confronted Caleb (William Ash), he took the fall for Ruby but told the local vicar the police won’t do anything about it, because a coroner concluded the collision had nothing to do with how Ethan died.
At the end of Thursday’s instalment, it seemed as though Charles was ready to move forward after his son’s death, but got quite the shock tonight.
In the shop, Claudette (Flo Wilson) approached Ruby and tried to offer her support. She very quickly struggled with the guilt surrounding the situation and confessed that she was responsible for hitting Ethan, not Caleb.
Fortunately, at the Anderson household, Claudette, Ruby and Charles all came to an agreement to draw a line under the ordeal.
Back at Mill Cottage, Ruby updated Caleb and refused to forgive him for his recent behaviour. Yesterday, Ruby and Caleb also said goodbye to son Nicky (Lewis Cope), who only left the village because he was tired of his parents partaking in criminal activity and asking him to cover for them.
Angry that the relationship with her son was practically non-existent now, Ruby alluded to the fact if she left Caleb and the Dales, it might increase her chance of Nicky talking to her again.
It left Caleb very worried indeed, but will Ruby really leave?
Elsewhere tonight, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) made a discovery about Samson (Sam Hall) and his friend Josh (Osian Morgan).
A few weeks ago, Samson was stabbed by Matty (Ash Palmisciano). We know it happened accidentally, but Samson and Josh have spun a false narrative that’s made it look as though Matty is a guilty man.
As this storyline has continued, it’s shined a spotlight on a variety of characters expressing their own opinions on who they think is telling the truth, and who isn’t.
Of course, Moira (Natalie J Robb) knows Matty is innocent but for the likes of Sam (James Hooton) and Lydia (Karen Blick), they are siding with Samson.
