Emmerdale signs up The Bill legend for major new role – and she’s going to cause chaos in the village
EMMERDALE has signed up The Bill legend Beth Conrdingly for an explosive role on the soap – and she’s going to cause chaos.
The actress – who played PC Kerry Young in the long-running ITV drama – will soon arrive in the village playing Caleb Miligan’s estranged wife Ruby Fox-Miligan.
The Sun can reveal that Beth has already begun filming with a source adding: “Ruby is going to prove more than a match for her husband Caleb as she arrives in the village.
“The village won’t know what’s hit it as Ruby arrives determined to protect her family at all costs.
“Even Kim Tate may have met her match this time.”
Actress Beth said: “I’m delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale, it’s an enormous privilege and Ruby is a dream role.
“She’s a firecracker and a trouble-maker and I think people will love her or hate her, and I can’t wait to get stuck in with this fabulous cast.”
Producer Kate Brooks added: “Ruby is an absolute force of nature who sweeps through the village with scores to settle.
“Fiercely loyal to her family, Ruby will do anything and everything to protect her loved ones.
“Her relationship with Caleb is infused with intense passion that manifests itself as the ultimate volatile relationship.
“Ruby is a character who pulls no punches and always makes an impression.
“We’re delighted to welcome Beth to the show and we’re sure she’ll make a wonderful addition to the village.”
Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw previously teased: “We’ve heard mention of Nicky’s mum and Caleb’s wife and we’ve just heard little bits from Caleb where’s he’s kind of said it’s all over between them and there’s nothing going on – but is that really true?
“In the new year we will see Ruby bursting onto our screens.
