Emmerdale has confirmed the outcome of Steph Miligan’s therapy amid fears that she might divulge information regarding Anthony Fox’s murder.

Anthony was killed off earlier this year as several residents in the village concealed the crime, with Steph eventually discovering that Ruby and Caleb were part of the group who knew of his murder.

Steph later found out that Anthony was in fact her biological father after he spent years abusing Ruby, with Steph then considering cosmetic surgery to remove any possible resemblance that she may share with Anthony.

Ruby and Caleb eventually thwarted her proposal, with Steph violently lashing out at Ross Barton as he tried to calm her down. Steph subsequently made an attempt to self-harm, before being referred to a therapist.

Friday’s (2 May) episode saw Steph discuss her upcoming appointment. She shared that she was nervous about exposing the group’s secret regarding Anthony. Ruby and Caleb urged her to go through with the appointment, explaining she was just thinking of the “worst-case scenario”.

Ruby and Caleb later invited their fellow conspirators to discuss the developments, with Aaron in particular nervous at the prospect of a therapist being involved. After a frank conversation, Ruby said that she would confess to everything if the worst happened.

Steph later returned from the appointment and stated that although it was “hard”, it had been exactly “what she needed” in her bid to liberate herself from her past.

She also informed Ruby and Caleb that she had managed to keep her mouth shut regarding the truth about Anthony, with her parents breathing a sigh of relief as their daughter looked to be on the mend.
