2. Ruby Fox-Miligan rocked by two estranged arrivals
Ruby is left speechless when her estranged daughter, Steph (Georgia Jay), appears on her doorstep. Ruby sends Caleb Miligan (William Ash) away so she can confront Steph alone.
The tension rises when Steph reveals she had been in contact with Ruby’s late mother, Helen (Sharon Maughan), sparking Ruby’s need to understand the complicated relationship between them. However, things take a dramatic turn when Steph accuses Ruby of failing her during a dysfunctional childhood, pushing Ruby to slap her in frustration.
Ruby’s attempts to apologize are rejected as Steph insists Ruby never cared about her, leaving Ruby heartbroken when Steph walks out.
Later, Caleb confides in his half-sister Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), unable to bear the thought of losing Steph again. He then finds Ruby trying to convince herself that Steph had a good upbringing, but Caleb reassures her that their daughter will come around, though there’s a lingering suspicion that Ruby is hiding something.
The following day, Caleb and Ruby are stunned to see Steph leaving the B&B with Ross, prompting Caleb to question her about the relationship. He offers Steph a partnership in his company in an attempt to get closer to her.
Steph reluctantly agrees to meet Ruby for coffee, but just as it seems they’re making progress, Ruby’s father Anthony (Nicholas Day) unexpectedly arrives at the café. Ruby quickly realizes that Steph orchestrated this meeting, and her father tries to justify his actions. Ruby storms out, rejecting him, and runs into Caleb, asking him to take her home.
Caleb, however, insists on speaking with Anthony alone. After a heated conversation, Caleb is moved by Anthony’s sincerity and accepts a mysterious box as a gift for Ruby.
Will Caleb be able to convince Ruby to hear her father out? And what is Ruby really hiding?
