Emmerdale Fans Call Out Nicky Milligan’s Hypocrisy After Caleb Confrontation
2 min read
Emmerdale delivered high drama for the Milligan family in Thursday night’s episode, as tensions boiled over in the wake of a shocking revelation.
In recent weeks, Nicky Milligan has been struggling to come to terms with his parents’ actions. Viewers will remember that his mother, Ruby Fox-Milligan, recently took revenge on Ethan by running him over. Her attack came after Ethan had left Nicky to die following a drink-driving accident. At first, it appeared that Ethan had survived the hit-and-run, but in a tragic twist, he later collapsed and died, leaving his family in turmoil.
Nicky was horrified by his mother’s actions and angered further by his father, Caleb Milligan, who had been protecting her. However, on Thursday, the true cause of Ethan’s death was revealed.
The episode showed Ruby supporting Charles and Manpreet as they prepared for Ethan’s funeral, despite their own personal struggles. As she comforted them, Charles received an important call from the coroner, confirming that Ethan had died at the age of 28 from a brain aneurysm. In an eerie coincidence, the condition was the same as that which had claimed the life of Ethan’s grandfather, Victor Anderson.
This revelation left Ruby stunned, as she realised that Victor’s condition could be hereditary and could strike at any time. Relieved that her actions had not directly led to Ethan’s death, she hurried home to share the news with Caleb, visibly relieved that she was no longer under suspicion.
However, while this twist meant Ruby escaped justice, Nicky was far from satisfied. When he returned to the family home, his fury exploded in a heated confrontation with his father. Their already complicated relationship came to a head as Nicky, who had been close friends with Ethan, refused to accept his mother’s ‘innocence.’ As tempers flared, Nicky lashed out at Caleb, landing a punch that hinted at his imminent departure from the village.
Following the dramatic scenes, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts, with many accusing Nicky of hypocrisy. Fans were quick to recall a past storyline, pointing out that Nicky himself had once been involved in questionable actions. The moment sparked debate, with some questioning whether he had the right to take the moral high ground.
As Emmerdale gears up for Nicky’s exit, it remains to be seen how his departure will unfold and what consequences it will have for the Milligan family in the future.
