Not stopping at targeting Robert, John Sugden turns to Caleb Milligan (Will Ash), Aaron Dingle’s uncle.

In a shocking scene, John suddenly appears at the warehouse, asking Caleb to help him escape from England.

Caleb initially vehemently refuses, but John quickly throws out a trump card: the secret of Anthony Fox’s death.

Anthony was a bad guy who abused Ruby Milligan (Beth Cordingly) when she was a child.

To protect Ruby, he was murdered, and John was the one who helped dispose of the body. Since then, John has become the only person who knows where the body is hidden, and now he uses this secret to force Caleb to listen.

Caleb is pushed into a dilemma. If he agrees, he betrays his family. If he refuses, Ruby will be dragged into the law. The situation makes the audience nervous: will Caleb choose to protect his sister or protect the honor of the Milligan family?

Tensions escalate when Ruby begins to suspect. She catches Caleb sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night, looking worried. Will Ruby discover the truth? And if so, how will she react when she learns that her own father has been turned into a “hostage” in John’s dirty game?

In this context, John is not only a murderer, but also a cunning fox who knows how to use every secret to survive. Emmerdale is facing a life-and-death game, where just one wrong move can cause everything to collapse.
