Emmerdale spoilers: Ruby Miligan devastated as the DNA results arrive

Ruby.

Emmerdale's Ruby Miligan has the results of Steph's paternity test – but will she open them in Tuesday's episode ? (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings.)

It's a question that has tortured Ruby Miligan since she was 16.

Is her abusive dad Anthony the father of her daughter Steph – or her childhood sweetheart and one true love Caleb?

Well, the wait is over as the test results have arrived.

With neither Steph nor Caleb unaware that a question mark is hanging over their biological relationship, Ruby's had to shoulder her awful secret for decades and has never felt able to confide in her husband that her dad abused her.

Knowing the toxic truth will blow up her already fragile family ties, Ruby doesn't know which way to turn and backs out of opening the tell-all letter.

As he pounds the streets his heart races when he thinks he's spotted her. But as he races towards the girl, the stricken dad realises it's not his beloved April just someone who looks like her.

Trudging on, Marlon runs into Ross. Their interaction gets off to a frosty start but Ross rises above the animosity and does his best to try to boost the distraught Dingle's spirits.
