Emmerdale fans are speculating about the possible location of Anthony Fox’s body. Anthony, played by Nicholas Day, was a character with a dark past who arrived in the village last year as Ruby Miligan’s (Beth Cordingly) estranged father. As he settled into the village, Ruby’s behaviour became increasingly erratic, hinting at a hidden secret about her father. It was later revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was 14 and is the biological father of Ruby’s daughter Steph (Georgia Jay).
After his horrific crimes were exposed, many villagers wanted revenge, but it was Ruby who ended up killing him. Now, several other residents, including Caleb, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), and Cain (Jeff Hordley), are involved in covering up the murder. Newcomer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) also had a hand in disposing of Anthony’s body. Despite claiming to have buried Anthony in the woods, he was lying.
Instead of revealing the actual location of the body, John chose to keep it a secret, arguing that the fewer people who knew about the crime, the better. However, fans now believe they have discovered where Anthony is buried, reports Belfast Live.
In the latest episode of Emmerdale, Kim Tate (played by Claire King) offered Caleb Miligan (portrayed by William Ash) the land around his depot in a bid to end the ongoing feud with her step-grandson Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).
In the most recent Emmerdale episode (April 29), whispers are circulating as Caleb hinted at leaving the land to his daughter Steph. However, fans are speculating a dark twist: Anthony’s body might be hidden on that very piece of land.
One Emmerdale enthusiast shared their theory on a Facebook fan page, saying: “I think Caleb getting Kim’s land will eventually lead to Anthony’s body being found.”
Another fan agreed, stating: “I said the same, I think John buried him in the land somewhere.”
A third chimed in: “Yep John put him there.”
Emmerdale can be streamed on ITV and ITVX.
