Embargoed until 00:01 hrs Saturday 2nd November 2024 EMMERDALE Emmerdale is set to welcome two new characters to the Village - Ruby’s dad, Anthony, and daughter, Steph, whose arrival will have far-reaching repercussions for the Miligan family. Smart, confident and completely reckless, Steph, played by Georgia Jay (Giri/Haji), hasn’t seen either of her parents in over a decade. It’s clear that Steph got all the best and worst parts of her parents, including their narcissistic need to win at all costs. Charismatic Anthony, played by Nicholas Day (Minder, The Crown) has mellowed in his old age and he seems like delightful company to the outside world, but Ruby (Beth Cordingly) hasn’t seen her father in over thirty years. Following her mum’s death, Ruby is forced to complete the unwelcome family reunion. Emmerdale producer, Sophie Roper, commented: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Nicholas and Georgia to Emmerdale as part of the Miligan family. With so much yet to discover about Ruby, the arrival of her father and daughter will unlock her past and see Ruby and Caleb tested in ways we’ve never seen before. With two actors of such great calibre, they’re certainly set to make their mark on the Dales.” Reflecting on his role, Nicholas Day said: “I’ve been made so welcome in the Emmerdale family. And my screen family is great to work with, the scenes just fly. No kidding - I feel blessed.” Georgia Jay added: "I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I’m very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.” Anthony and Georgia will appear on screen later this month.
