Emmerdale viewers say the same thing as Ruby and Steph reunite for showdown

Emmerdale viewers witnessed a tense Milligan family reunion on Monday (November 18), which was far from a joyous occasion.

Steph Milligan (played by Georgia Jay) recently arrived in the village with the intention of claiming her inheritance left by her late grandmother, Helen Fox (portrayed by Sharon Maughan). Businessman Caleb (William Ash) knew about Steph's presence, but his wife Ruby (Beth Cordingly) was oblivious to the fact that her estranged daughter had returned - until this episode.

The drama unfolded when Steph agreed to meet her father for coffee at her parents' house, hoping to find out when she would receive her inheritance. A nervous Caleb questioned Steph, asking if she had read the letters he had sent over the years.

Steph was hesitant to delve into her past, but the situation escalated when Ruby entered the room and saw her daughter for the first time in over a decade.

Ruby demanded explanations from Steph, leading to a heated argument. Steph accused Ruby of never showing her love, being distant, and sending her to a despised boarding school when she needed her mother the most, reports Leeds Live.

Wanting to justify her actions, Ruby tried to explain that after Steph stole a car at 14, she needed discipline. However, her explanation fell on deaf ears, culminating in a fierce argument that ended with Ruby slapping her daughter.

Despite the intense family reunion and ensuing drama on Emmerdale, viewers were more focused on the striking resemblance between Ruby's actress Beth Cordingly and Steph's portrayer Georgia Jay, with many claiming they look like "twins".

One viewer took to social media, writing: "Emmerdale ATE with the casting of Steph, she looks soooooo similar to Ruby #emmerdale."

Another echoed this sentiment, stating: "Steph and Ruby are so alike #emmerdale", while a third chimed in: "Ruby and Steph are so alike! ! #Emmerdale."

One fan praised the show's casting decision, saying: "They have absolutely nailed the casting of Steph as Ruby's daughter. #Emmerdale".

"Gotta say the casting team got it spot on with Steph, she's like Ruby's twin #Emmerdale", another viewer added.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
