EMMERDALE fans have been left convinced that one soap couple is hiding a major secret.
Viewers of the ITV soap opera have been left sharing their opinions on couple Ruby Fox-Milligan and Caleb Milligan having a secret child.
The pair are known to be parents to Nicky and have had a fraught relationship with their son over the past few weeks.
Their ups and downs caused Nicky to quit the Dales and leave alongside boyfriend Suni after a series of screaming rows with his parents.
Nicky resented his parents for their decision to cover up that it was Ruby who ploughed into Ethan Anderson with her car and then further lie that it was actually Caleb as opposed to his wife.
Amid the lies and deceit, he opted to flee the village in a bid to get away from the drama once and for all.
With the pair now being childless, many have begun to speculate that the couple could have a secret daughter who is yet to make her debut on the Dales.
Many avid viewers of Emmerdale think that Nicky’s sister could be around the corner following his departure.
Sharing their ideas on Reddit, one fan said: “Do Ruby and Caleb have a daughter? I’ve heard a good few people talking about Nicky’s sister. When Nicky got into the car crash, some people were wondering if Nick’s sister would come to the village.”
It led to someone else penning: “Nicky completed mismatched with Caleb and Ruby.
“Yes – maybe a daughter who has previously “divorced” herself from the dysfunctional duo could make an appearance??”
A third added: “With Caleb’s past the guy must have a secret kid out there somewhere right?”
As a fourth said: “Caleb told Leyla he had ‘kids’ but that could’ve been a lie.”
Before a fifth chimed in to say: “I was wondering where people got the idea that Nicky had a sister.
“I don’t remember any mentions of her and if he does have one, Ruby and Caleb clearly don’t care about her.”
Caleb’s time on Emmerdale has been filled with lie after lie.

He first began lying about who he was and how he was half Dingle and half Tate whilst simultaneously lying about the fact he was Nicky’s father.
Caleb then kept his affair with his nephew’s wife Tracy under wraps as he looked set to tear the Dingle clan apart once again.
News of a potential secret child for Caleb and Ruby come as it was revealed that her character will be caught up in an epic barn fire set to hit screens later this year.
The Sun told how Ruby and Moira Dingle will be left fighting for their lives during Emmerdale’s annual epic stunt.
It follows last year’s clifftop car crash as well as the Hotten bypass crash of 2016 as well as the horrifying maze fire.
