Emmerdale enthusiasts believe they've sussed out when Caleb Milligan's daughter, Stephanie, will make her entry, and it appears to be imminent.
In recent episodes, viewers discovered that Caleb (portrayed by Will Ash) has a daughter named Stephanie. Audiences are already familiar with the fact that he and Ruby have a son, Nicky Milligan (played by Lewis Cope), who left the village with his partner.
Nonetheless, attention was drawn to Caleb's undisclosed daughter when he visited the hospital where his wife Ruby's (acted by Beth Cordingly) critically ill mother laid.
Ruby's mother Helen (Sharon Maughan), estranged from her daughter for years after rejecting Ruby's marriage to Caleb, was manipulated by him into a financial agreement in exchange for a final meeting with Ruby.
Caleb extorted £100k from Helen in return for the visit. During their tense exchange, Helen inadvertently mentioned 'Stephanie', reports Leeds Live. Caleb retorted sharply: "Don't you dare say my kids' names," before exiting in a huff.
Tragically, in the episode aired on Wednesday (September 19), just as Ruby arrived at the hospital, she was informed of her mother's passing 20 minutes prior. Upon returning home, a dismayed Ruby told Caleb she was now in the dark about her mother's last wishes, while he feigned astonishment.
Following the news of Caleb's daughter Stephanie, fans are now speculating about her arrival in the Dales. Taking to social media, viewers are convinced that she will make an appearance at Helen's funeral.
On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one fan commented: "Steph will probably be at the funeral and see Caleb and Ruby." Another added: "Well that's Caleb's daughter making her first appearance at the funeral then." A third fan wrote:
