She's described as a force to be reckoned with and a ticking time bomb.
This January, Beth Cordingly will join the cast of Emmerdale as Caleb’s wife, Ruby Fox-Milligan. Mother to Nicky, played by Lewis Cope, Ruby is fiery, confident, unpredictable and a fiercely devoted mum.
If Ruby believes Caleb, played by Will Ash, has finally found a family of his own away from her, it's fair to say she’d happily destroy it rather than allow Caleb to be happy without her.
Beth has a wealth of television and theatre credits to her name including The Bill, Dead Set and Family Affairs.
On joining Emmerdale, Beth Cordingly 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.”
To which 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 continues Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV1
