A family reunion is set to shake up the lives of the Miligan family on ITV soap Emmerdale. Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly), the estranged wife of businessman Caleb Miligan (William Ash), has been causing trouble in the fictional Yorkshire village since her arrival earlier this year and her family are set to cause further repercussions. Her family, daughter Stephanie, played by Giri/Haji actress Georgia Jay, and father Anthony, played by Minder and The Crown actor Nicholas Day, will see “Ruby forced to complete the unwelcome family reunion”, the soap said.
Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Nicholas and Georgia to Emmerdale as part of the Miligan family. “With so much yet to discover about Ruby, the arrival of her father and daughter will unlock her past and see Ruby and Caleb tested in ways we’ve never seen before. “With two actors of such great calibre, they’re certainly set to make their mark on the Dales.
” Anthony is described as “charismatic” and someone who has “mellowed in his old age”, and “seems like delightful company to the outside world”, that has been missing from his daughter Ruby’s life for more than three decades. Day said: “I’ve been made so welcome in the Emmerdale family. And my screen family is great to work with, the scenes just fly.
No kidding – I feel blessed.” Stephanie is “confident and completely reckless”, and has got the “narcissistic need to win at all costs” from.
