ITV Emmerdale fans predict 'trouble brewing' as 'selfish snake' keeps quiet
A surprise death and money deposited into a bank account could spell out trouble for the residents of Emmerdale.
In tonight's episode, while Caleb is sorting out a surprise breakfast in bed for Ruby, she appears downstairs anyway and recalls how it's her son Nicki’s birthday and it's the first time she hasn't seen him for a while. Caleb reassures her that he will get in touch but tries to distract Ruby by directing her back to bed as she asked for a ‘repeat performance’ from the previous night.
Later on, Caleb is spotted on the phone talking to someone about a large sum of money coming in. Will then appears and talks about selling his share of the King’s haulage firm. He tells Caleb he needs £40k by tomorrow and asks for a loan. Telling Will that he can't get it tomorrow, he offers a loan deal where he has to pay within three months - signing away his shares. He wants Will to draw up a contract so it will be something he cannot back out of.

Viewers next see Ruby when she appears at a hospital and asks to see her mum who is desperate to see her. She tracks down a nurse asking if it is the right room, to which the nurse confirms it is but then tells Ruby that she died 20 minutes earlier. The news is overheard by Celeb - who is also at the hospital - spying on Ruby behind a metal cage.

Ruby enters the room and sees her mum lying in bed not moving but it doesn't stop her from asking why she wanted to see her and if she had ever loved her. Caleb overhears the one-sided conversation.
While Jai tries to talk to Arthur who is ignoring him, he is beeped at by Caleb who informs him that the offer fell through leaving the pair to wonder who can give them the £40k needed to save Jai's business. The pair know Kim is the only person with "that sort of money" but Caleb refuses to go to her.
Ruby comes home to find Caleb who tells him her mother died. Faking his concern, he asks how she got in touch after all these years and how was she - to which she reveals she was 20 minutes late. She continues to rage about how her mum never told her she loved her and wanted to hear her apologise to her after not speaking to her for several years.
Even in her rage, she regrets not being quicker to see her in what was her last chance to see her. As the episode ends, a message from Caleb’s bank reveals that Ruby’s mum sent £100,000. It was the money he asked her to transfer him in exchange for telling Ruby to visit her.
Quickly taking to X, fans speculated what will happen and whether or not Caleb will come clean to Ruby. @its0l_ said: "Caleb better let the guilt get to him and spoil Dame Ruby rotten with the £100k. Though he won’t the selfish ****."
@Dbella91 agrees and adds: "There’s trouble brewing.. the snake received 100k from Rubys mum after all #Emmerdale."
