Emmerdale fans 'can't cope' as they spot distracting Anthony Fox detail within minutes

Emmerdale aired another twist for Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day) as he managed to break free of Caleb Miligan's (William Ash) revenge plan.

On Tuesday (Janaury 21), Anthony was exposed for abusing his daughter Ruby (Beth Cordingly) when she was a teenager with her husband Caleb going after him. Anthony had also received a blow to the head from Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) with a candlestick.

Alone in an empty barn, Caleb held Anthony at gunpoint and ordered him to confess to his evil crimes. The two men ended up in a scuffle for the gun as Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) arrived outside just in time to hear a shot being fired.

On Wednesday (January 22), the cliffhanger was confirmed - neither Caleb nor Anthony had been shot. Anthony escaped from Caleb's clutches and ran out of the barn as Cain sprinted towards it.

But Anthony managed to get away as Cain looked on before going to check on his brother Caleb who was still in the barn. Despite the hugely tense scenes, some Emmerdale fans were left wondering how Anthony managed to get away from Caleb and Cain.

Taking to X, one person wrote: "How is Anthony out running Cain, I can’t cope #Emmerdale."

A second added: "Anthony is running well for someone who has a terminal illness #emmerdale."

A third pointed out: "Anthony couldn't have gotten that far. He's 70 with a head injury #Emmerdale."

"And Anthony can run too fast for Cain and Caleb to catch him up? #Emmerdale (laughing face emojis)", said one viewer.

"#Emmerdale Antony cornered like a Ferrari when scarpering there. Not bad for eighty odd with concussion", added another.
