While many of us are preoccupied with thinking about what will become of the Dales in the upcoming Christmas episode, there\u2019s some further big news on the horizon.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, the Emmerdale<\/a> cast is growing with new addition Beth Cordingly, who will star as Caleb\u2019s wife, Ruby Fox-Milligan.<\/p>\n

Cordingly will make her anticipated debut in January 2024, and has been described as \u201cfiery, confident, unpredictable and a fiercely devoted mum\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, many will recognise Cordingly for her appearances on our screens over the years in the likes of Dead Set and Family Affairs, but it\u2019s her role as PC Kerry Young in The Bill<\/a> that many will undoubtedly recognise her for.<\/p>\n

As for what is to come for her new character, Ruby, it seems as though she\u2019ll stop at nothing to make sure that Caleb isn\u2019t leading a happy life without her.<\/p>\n

Ruby is also mother to Nicky (Lewis Cope), but will it be a happy family affair when she arrives?<\/p>\n

It certainly seems as though there\u2019s a lot in store for Ruby, especially seeing as she\u2019ll be coming into the soap amid the ongoing storyline with Caleb and Tracy (Amy Walsh), which only continues to get riskier by the episode.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s set to be a couple of close calls with the pair getting caught, and it seems that Caleb is set to grow increasingly jealous of Tracy and Nate (Jurell Carter) in some upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n

As for how Ruby will slot into the soap\u2019s drama, according to ITV: \u201cIf Ruby believes Caleb (Will Ash) has finally found a family of his own away from her, it\u2019s fair to say she\u2019d happily destroy it rather than allow Caleb to be happy without her.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuby\u2019s a force to be reckoned with and a ticking time bomb.\u201d<\/p>

Speaking about her new Emmerdale role, Cordingly said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale, it\u2019s an enormous privilege and Ruby is a dream role.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a firecracker and a trouble-maker and I think people will love her or hate her, and I can\u2019t wait to get stuck in with this fabulous cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks also commented: \u201cRuby is an absolute force of nature who sweeps through the village with scores to settle. Fiercely loyal to her family, Ruby will do anything and everything to protect her loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer relationship with Caleb is infused with intense passion that manifests itself as the ultimate volatile relationship. Ruby is a character who pulls no punches and always makes an impression.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome Beth to the show and we\u2019re sure she\u2019ll make a wonderful addition to the village.\u201d<\/p>\n
