Emmerdale villain Anthony Fox confides in his son-in-law Caleb Miligan next week.

The evil character shares his prognosis with Caleb after receiving another update about his health.

In November, Anthony told his family that he’d been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.

His granddaughter Steph pledged to support him however she could, while Caleb also agreed to put their past differences aside.

Anthony’s daughter Ruby remained unsettled by his presence in the village. The reasons why were subsequently explored in a flashback episode, which revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was a child.

Next week, Anthony shares some grim news with Caleb about his health.

Anthony is starting to prepare for the end, but he asks Caleb to keep quiet around Steph and Ruby.

Meanwhile, Ruby continues with her plan to arrange a DNA test to find out whether Steph’s biological father is Caleb or Anthony.
