Emmerdale confirms deadly showdown for Anthony and Caleb

The following article contains discussion of sexual misconduct.

Emmerdale has confirmed that a deadly showdown between Anthony Fox and Caleb Dingle will take place in tomorrow's episode (Tuesday January 21).

Viewers will know that Anthony sexually abused his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan when she was a teenager. He was confirmed as the father of Ruby's daughter Steph after Ruby organised a DNA test.

Ruby's husband Caleb and his half-sister Chas both discovered the truth last week and Caleb was later seen receiving a gun delivery.

Tonight's episode began with a flash-forward clip, in which drops of blood could be seen spattered on the floor. During the episode, Caleb pulled up and ordered Anthony to get in his car.

Another flash-forward clip, in which Anthony could be seen lying dead in a pool of blood, teased the abuser's death.

In scenes airing tomorrow, viewers will learn what Caleb has planned for Ruby's abusive dad.

When Caleb pulls his car up to a secluded barn, Anthony will grow increasingly uneasy and will be reluctant to get out of the car until Caleb aims his gun at him.

In the barn, Anthony will try to gaslight Caleb over Ruby's accusations, running through the usual lines. Caleb will tighten his grip on the gun and demand the truth from Anthony, who becomes rattled that his lies aren't working.

When Caleb decides to subject him to a version of Russian roulette, Anthony will face death at the end of the revolver unless he can finally admit the truth.

Is Caleb responsible for Anthony's death, or will Anthony find a way to fight back and face death at the hands of someone else?

Asked recently if Ruby is capable of murdering her Dad, Ruby actor Beth Cordingly said: "Ruby did attack Ethan before when she felt he had done her son wrong. She effectively left him for dead. She felt remorse afterwards, though, and a lot of guilt."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
