Actress Beth Cordingly has discussed the recent character shifts for Ruby Fox-Miligan in the soap opera Emmerdale. Following a scheme involving Caleb that resulted in the deaths of characters Jimmy and Dawn, Ruby has taken on a more ruthless persona.

Cordingly noted that while the characters' recent cruel behavior might not be popular with viewers, it is essential for keeping characters fresh and evolving. She remarked, “You can’t worry about your character being liked, otherwise they become really bland.” The actress acknowledged that the recent plotlines have moved Ruby toward a “Lady Macbeth” style role, which provides excitement despite the potential for audience backlash.
