Emmerdale's Ruby 'plots revenge' against two characters amid sad exit news

One character looked ready to seek revenge in Emmerdale on Friday night after a betrayal. Just a day after a sad exit on the ITV soap following a discovery, those involved were sparking further outrage.

Ross Barton's night of passion with Manpreet Sharma was exposed to his on/off girlfriend Steph Miligan this week. While it happened after Steph had cooled things between them, the fact he lied about it left her unable to trust him.

It comes amid Steph actress Georgia Jay taking time away from the show after announcing her pregnancy. Steph left the village on Thursday, with Ross seemingly devastated to have broken her heart.

He can't have been that cut up though as on Friday he got steamy with Manpreet yet again on the sofa. This time they were caught though, as the pair were shown locking lips on Manpreet's doorstep.

As Moira Dingle looked awkwardly towards her nephew Ross, having just been telling Ruby how upset he was for breaking Steph's heart, Ruby's face was very telling. She looked furious, but also as if she was plotting something as she silently fumed at Manpreet and Ross.

She then made her intentions clear, while Emmerdale teased she had a "murderous" look on her face in the awkward moment. Moira asked her what she was gonna do, as Ruby declared she wished she hadn't believed Ross and Manpreet were sorry about Steph.

She simply told her, clearly wanting payback: "Only what they deserve." So with ruthless Ruby now seemingly targeting both of them, what does she have planned and will Manpreet and Ross regret their latest moment of passion?

Spoilers have teased what Ruby has in store for Manpreet, but it backfires. She ends up snapping and attacks Manpreet after a war of words, with a showdown at the depot.

It seems Ruby targets Manpreet before this and leaves her humiliated in scenes that air next week. So when Manpreet heads to the depot to confront her new enemy, things escalate and it's not long before the police are called.

Photos show Ruby shoving Manpreet and it seems a fight commences. They end up both being arrested and left in a police cell over night, facing charges of ABH. Left alone to process events, can the pair come to an understanding and put their drama to bed? Or might we be seeing a new village feud forming? Then there's Ross - might Ruby target him too?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , and Threads.
