If, like me, you are a fan of The Bill, you’ll know Beth as PC Kerry Young. But from Sun Hill to Emmerdale, actress Beth Cordingly is set to join in the new year as Caleb’s wife, Ruby Fox-Milligan.
Beth Cordingly has joined the cast of Emmerdale playing Caleb’s wife, Ruby Fox-Milligan, and is due to make her debut on screen in January.
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. Ruby’s a force to be reckoned with and a ticking time bomb.
Beth has a wealth of television and theatre credits to her name including The Bill, Dead Set and Family Affairs.
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.”
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 airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1
