Emmerdale star's family 'fear for her safety' over hit and run drama

ok.co.uk:

Danger has reared its ugly head many times in the village of Emmerdale, and it’s no different this week when Ruby Fox-Milligan (Beth Cordingly) and Caleb Miligan (William Ash) go on the warpath.

The pair are waiting for their son Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) to wake from a coma – and are out for revenge. Ethan Anderson (Emile John), who left Nicky for dead after a crash, is hit by a car.

So did Ruby, Caleb or Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) run him over? “It could easily be Caleb or even Cain.They’ve got form when it comes to retribution,” says Will Ash, who plays Caleb. “I think in this instance, in terms of motivation for Caleb, it’s all there right in front of him, what has happened.There is no grey area at all with it – Ethan is in the wrong.

So I think either of us could have done it, or any of the three of us.” Ruby is also a main suspect and four months into her new role, actress Beth Cordingly tells us she is no longer surprised by her character’s wayward behaviour. “It’s fun to play the wild and outrageous parts,” says Beth. “It’s the same when I played Sara in Family Affairs, I remember thinking, ‘I’m just going to have to show the side of me that only my mum sees,’ and I have to do that with Ruby as well sometimes.
