Ruby's mum in Emmerdale has fans figuring out dark twist - but some admit being 'fooled'
Emmerdale fans have predicted a series of major twists following the reveal of Ruby's mum.
Helen Fox, portayed by actress Sharon Maughan, Ruby Fox-Milligan's mum, appeared in tonight's episode of the long-running ITV soap, ill and frail in a hospital bed. She had called on Ruby's husband Caleb as he had blocked her number from Ruby's phone due to as yet unclear unpleasant experiences in the past.
Helen, claiming she was dying, pleaded with Caleb to reunite them - but Caleb wouldn't budge until she agreed to pay him £100,000. Emmerdale viewers took to social media with their predictions for the new storyline.

@TwellyWatcher said: "I reckon Caleb will get the money then Ruby's mother will die before she gets to meet her and Caleb has her money."
@kylieskaty said: "Hoping for the arrival of Ruby’s dad so Caleb can be taken down." @its0l_ said: "This will give Ruby’s character more depth and show even more why she is the best addition in ages."
@pam_debeauvoir said: "Ah, so now we know why Ruby is so hard-faced. Learned from the mother she never mentions."
@DonnaCarroll4 said: "I don't think Ruby will be happy, when she finds out what her heartless husband has done to her mother, regardless of what's gone on between them."
@1stLadyHooligan said: "Well I was fooled. I really thought that Caleb gave a damn about Ruby, but obviously not if he's making a deal with her mum for 100k in exchange for him getting Ruby to see her. Caleb's a money hungry snake."
@CaroleAnn1982 said: "You'd think Ruby's mom would go private with all the money she's got."
@AnnieSugden75 said: "What is it with Emmerdale and missing AWOL mothers that can always be found in hospital beds. First Dawn and Rose, now Ruby and whatever her mum's name is."
