Emmerdale's Ruby Milligan is in trouble again in Thursday's episode (ITV, 7.30 pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Ruby Milligan isn't backwards in coming forwards and doesn't seem to care whose feathers she ruffles. But when she has a go at Nate, her husband Caleb is utterly furious with her.

With his relationship with Nate in the bin following Caleb's affair with his wife Tracy, the last thing he needs is Ruby pouring petrol on the fire.

At Mill, Nicky can't stand to see his parents going at each other again and tries to stick up for his mum when his dad demands to know what she's said to his nephew.

Later, Caleb's calmed down and listens in as Ruby talks to their son about the sacrifices she made to build a life with his dad. Will he feel guilty about what his wife has had to give up over the years?

Though Ruby views the Dingle family as a threat to her marriage, Nicky knows that good relations with them are the way to his dad's heart and urges her to apologise to Nate.

Taking her son's advice, Ruby reaches out to Nate. As the pair talk, they end up bonding over the pain their cheating spouses have inflicted on them.

When Caleb returns home to find them chatting, he's stunned. 

Though Nate's forgiven Ruby, he makes it clear he's nowhere near ready to do the same with his uncle.

Will Ruby's truce with Nate put her back in Caleb's good books?
