Who is Stephanie in Emmerdale? Ruby and Caleb’s daughter identified after ‘DNA twist’
Stephanie on Emmerdale is a new character yet to be shown onscreen, and all we know is that she is the daughter of Caleb and Ruby Miligan with fans predicting a major twist
Emmerdale fans are wondering who Stephanie is, as Caleb Miligan’s daughter was mentioned this week.
Ahead of new details set to be revealed about the mystery character, it was confirmed earlier this week that Caleb and Ruby had a daughter. She was mentioned by Ruby’s mother Helen Fox before her sad death.
But who exactly is Stephanie and do we know if she will debut on the ITV soap amid some shocking theories? Stephanie Miligan is thought to be the firstborn of Ruby and Caleb.
She is the sister of Nicky Miligan, and is a relative of the Tates and the Dingles. Stephanie had barely been mentioned on the show until now, only mentioned by her grandmother Helen.
We don’t know what Stephanie or Steph is estranged from her family, with it seeming that they are not in contact. Caleb confirmed he had a daughter called Stephanie when Helen said her name, and he told her never to mention his kids’ names.
We don’t know where Stephanie is, but fans are convinced she will soon head to the village after Nicky’s exit a few months ago. Caleb seemed teary at the mention of her name, and Helen’s comment suggested there was distance between her and her parents.

Helen had asked if Caleb had seen much of her, suggesting they were not on talking terms. That said, given Helen has been estranged from her daughter Ruby for years how did Helen know what was going on with Stephanie?
Fans are convinced Helen had news of Stephanie’s whereabouts and her death will lead to her arrival. Helen had wanted to tell Ruby something before she died but never got the chance.
Viewers have been predicting that perhaps Stephanie was the baby Ruby had when she was young, resulting in her parents kicking her out. They wondered if Stephanie was possibly adopted, and maybe Ruby lost contact with her daughter.
Another theory was that Ruby might not be Stephanie’s biological mother after an affair twist for Caleb and Helen. Given Stephanie is never talked about, fans are sure there has to be a reason she is AWOL.
Viewers will have to tune in to upcoming episodes to find out what the deal is with Stephanie. Amid news of a Christmas ‘surprise arrival’, fans are wondering if this is when their daughter may make an appearance while nothing has been confirmed yet by the ITV soap.
