Emmerdale viewers are convinced that a new romance could be on the cards for two village residents – but they’re not exactly thrilled by the prospect of a relationship
Emmerdale fans are speculating a surprise love affair between Steph Miligan and an unlikely village resident.
Steph, portrayed by Georgia Jay, made her first appearance last year as the long-lost daughter of Ruby (Beth Cordingly) and Caleb (William Ash). The arrival of Ruby’s father Anthony (Nicholas Day) added another layer of complexity to the family dynamic.
As Anthony found his footing in the village, Ruby began to unravel, evidently concealing something about her father. It was later unveiled that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby at the age of 14.
Adding to the shocking revelations, it was confirmed that Anthony is Steph’s biological father. Following the exposure of Anthony’s heinous crimes, he was murdered by his own daughter, Ruby.

Several other villagers have become entangled in the cover-up of the murder, including Caleb, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), and Cain (Jeff Hordley). Meanwhile, Steph was eager to reconnect with her grandfather,, reports Leicestershire Live.
Ruby, however, withheld the truth from Steph out of a desire to protect her, given she was unaware that Anthony was her actual father.
But when Steph threatened to involve the police, Ruby and Caleb confessed everything, leaving Steph shattered and heartbroken upon learning that Anthony was her real father.
Since then, Steph has been grappling with the harsh reality of her parentage. Amid her distressing revelation, fellow villager Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), who works at the Depot, has grown suspicious that the family is concealing something.
This week, he was on a mission to uncover the truth and, spotting Steph in distress at work, he seized the moment to pry some intel from her.
However, in a potential bombshell for viewers, Emmerdale enthusiasts are speculating that Steph and Jai might kick off an unexpected love affair. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan group, one viewer vented: “Jai is really getting on my nerves now. Time for him to go.”
Eager fans flocked to the comments to speculate about a budding romance between Steph and Jai. They speculated: “Jai and Steph relationship pending?” Another chimed in with: “I said that too.”
Yet another added: “Oh god no, that would be gross. It wouldn’t surprise me though.”
