Emmerdale explores Ruby Fox-Miligan's backstory with some special flashback scenes next month.

The ITV soap takes viewers back in time to the day of Ruby's 16th birthday as a secret from her past is revealed.

Viewers have recently seen the introduction of Ruby's father Anthony and her estranged daughter Steph, played by new cast members Nicholas Day and Georgia Jay.

While Ruby has tried her best to reconcile with Steph, she has never seemed comfortable with having Anthony in the village.

As the drama continues next month, local gossip Brenda Walker lets slip to Anthony that Ruby's husband Caleb had an affair with Tracy Robinson a few months ago.

Anthony is disgusted by the news and quickly confronts Caleb over his behaviour.

Ruby steps in to defend Caleb, as well as her own actions relating to the affair. However, Anthony refuses to back down and continues to ask uncomfortable questions.

Later, Ruby is pleased when she manages to make some progress with Steph. However, Anthony makes life awkward by continuing to reference the past.

As the week continues, Steph sees a chance to bond with her mum when she finds a photo showing Ruby's 16th birthday.

Ruby pretends not to remember the occasion, but it's clear that she's troubled by whatever happened that day.

In special scenes flashing back to 1992, Ruby is shown getting along well with fellow teenager Rob. Viewers then get a surprising insight into Ruby's past, but why is she so unsettled?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, December 12 on ITV1 and ITVX.

In scenes airing early next month, an oblivious Moira plans a surprise birthday party for Cain. She dismisses concerns from her son Matty Barton, who doesn't think she's well enough for the celebratory gathering.

Meanwhile, as Cain struggles to cope with his guilt around Moira, he lies about his whereabouts so that he can spend some time away from her.

The timing couldn't be worse, as Moira is expecting Cain to be by her side when she attends her latest medical appointment.

Cain springs into action when he receives a desperate voicemail from Moira, who demands to know why he isn't there to support her.

He tries his best to be by Moira's side at the eleventh hour, but mishaps and delays hinder his progress ? including being blocked in by Jai Sharma's car.

As Cain becomes erratic while trying to reach the hospital in time, he's stopped by PC Swirling. He gets aggressive in response and is ultimately arrested for his bad behaviour.

Cain begs Swirling for a chance to at least have a private conversation with Moira on the phone before he's taken away.

When they finally get their chance to speak, Moira is shocked to learn that Cain has been arrested, but she assures him that her results are fine.

Once alone with Matty, however, Moira clarifies that she'll need to undergo radiotherapy treatment, and she breaks down in tears in front of her son.

Later, Cain is released with a warning by Swirling but chooses to get drunk at the allotment rather than returning home to Moira. It's left to Cain's friend Liam Cavanagh to step in and bring him back to Butler's.

Moira is concerned by Cain's downward spiral and warns him to pull himself together, as his family have planned a "surprise" party for him the next day.

Knowing that he won't be in the mood to celebrate, Cain realises that it's time to confess all to Moira. Will he go through with it?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Tuesday, December 10, and Wednesday, December 11, on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale's Kim Tate is cruelly tricked next month as her husband Will Taylor suggests renewing their wedding vows.

Kim is currently oblivious to how Will is still plotting against her following their recent romantic reunion ? setting the stage for a major Christmas storyline.

Earlier this week, Kim and Will managed to get their troubled marriage back on track following Will's outlandish plan to briefly fake his own death.

Will tried to pull out of his secret alliance with Kim's financial advisor Peter, who is also trying to bring her down. However, Will quickly changed his mind again when he decided that he still couldn't fully trust Kim.

As the saga continues next month, Will meets up with Peter for an update on their scheming.

Will is keen to get a move on with their masterplan, but Peter urges patience and insists that there has been a change of circumstance.

Although Will demands to know more, Peter refuses to disclose any details. It seems that the delay relates to the mysterious third party who is pulling Peter's strings, but he refuses to call them.

Later, Will starts to regret his deception when Kim puts genuine effort into preparing a joyous Christmas for the two of them.

Kim is keen to cement the apparent fresh start in their relationship by enjoying a festive season to remember.

Already in too deep with his deception, Will continues to follow Peter's orders and asks Kim if she'd like to renew their wedding vows on Christmas Day.

Kim is overjoyed and gets visibly emotional over Will's gesture. She's clearly falling into a nasty trap, but will she realise it before it's too late?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, December 12 and Friday, December 13 on ITV1 and ITVX.

Emmerdale's Ross Barton will be left devastated in upcoming scenes when his son Moses Dingle doesn't want to go anywhere near him.

In scenes set to air on Monday, December 9, Ross is shocked to find that Moses is suddenly petrified of him.

Knowing that he must have done something to make Moses want to avoid him, Ross feels defeated.

Given her son's terrified reaction, Charity Dingle goes into protection mode and sends Ross packing.

Later on, Ross observes the close bond between Mackenzie Boyd and Moses, and abandons his plans to reconcile with his son.

Can Ross get back on better terms with Moses? And why is Moses suddenly so frightened of him?

Ross will also face a desperate race against time next week as April Windsor is abducted by dangerous newcomer Jade.

Jade decides that Ross is responsible for the ?10,000 that went missing from the fight she recently organised between him and Billy Fletcher, though viewers know that Mackenzie Boyd is responsible.

She finds out about Ross's past connection to April and kidnaps her as leverage, before texting Ross to arrive with the money at April's location: the same multi-storey car park where April's mum Donna died in 2014.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media about the storyline, Ross actor Michael Parr explained: "Ross knows that Jade is a dangerous and sinister character. But I think he doesn't realise how deep the rabbit hole goes with her and what she is willing to do to make sure she wins and gets her money back.

"It's hugely traumatic for Ross to be back in the location where Donna died. It brings back the worst memories. Seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved him and his first experience with love, was quite a traumatic event for him."

Which perhaps is no surprise, since Moses has already witnessed his dad's violent side and almost got shot by him in the barn where Ross was bare-knuckle boxing!

Ross feels defeated when Moses doesn't want to be near him.

Seeing their son is scared, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) quickly sends one-time lover Ross packing...

In the mean time, Cain continues to feel overwhelmed with guilt over his betrayal...

Meanwhile, Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) renews her attempts to get her dad, Jimmy (Nick Miles), to read a letter written by his nephew, Tom (James Chase).
