In the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, characters Caleb and Ruby Miligan initiate a criminal scheme to defraud Jimmy King by devaluing his haulage firm. The plot involves the coercion of Kev Barton through threats regarding past evidence.

Following the scheme, which resulted in the deaths of characters Jimmy and Dawn, Ruby Fox-Miligan has undergone a significant character shift. Actress Beth Cordingly described the character’s evolution into a more ruthless, “Lady Macbeth” style role, noting that such development is necessary to keep characters from becoming “really bland.”
