Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

I fully agree. You just have to look at the track record in Emmerdale and there are other things that get you pregnant other than consensual sex. I really feel as though Ruby is still being abused. It takes a lot of courage to tell a secret like this, and I can't imagine the threats or things that Anthony must have put in her head that would happen if she spoke up, but her family has to see the utter fear on her face whenever her father walks into the room.

I suspect that with Anthony tutoring Angelica, if he tries something on her and her parents think that she is just acting out, that's when Ruby will finally come forward. Not for herself, but for Angelica.

if it wasn't caleb then the other only possibility was her own father, caleb was her first true real only love, sexual experience ( not counting her father's rape ) etc.,

I do not think it has actually been said that Anthony is Steph's father but I think it has been obvious for weeks now that he is. I do think it is fear of Anthony that is holding her back from telling the truth, nor can it be that she does not want to spoil Steph's relationship with Anthony, indeed on the contrary I would have this should be a priority. Her relationship with Caleb has been destroyed, while the truth could save it. The only power Anthony has is that he thinks she is having an affair with Cain, but unless Ruby or Cain admit to a one night stand, they can deny this and say Anthony is making this claim to be spiteful. Mind you Cain's behavior is not helping.
