Hold onto your seats, Emmerdale fans—because it looks like the twisted tale of Anthony Fox is far from over! After months of believing that the abuser met a violent end and was buried in the woods, shocking new clues suggest that Anthony might still be alive—and the village is about to unravel.

Back in January, Anthony’s dark past finally caught up to him. After Nicola King believed he was preying on her daughter Angelica, Laurel Thomas hit him over the head. Caleb Milligan pulled a gun on him. Aaron Dingle demanded a confession. Ruby Milligan later found him barely conscious and, thinking he was dying, smothered him. Then, John Sugden claimed he buried Anthony’s body in the woods to protect Aaron from a murder charge. Everyone involved made a vow of silence, hoping the past would stay buried. The police believed Anthony had simply fled.

But now, that quiet is about to be shattered.

When Steph receives mysterious flowers, she’s convinced they’re from Anthony himself. She becomes obsessed with the idea that he’s alive—and she might be right. Steph sneaks into the woods to find his grave… only to uncover nothing. No grave. No evidence of a burial. Just empty dirt.

The family demands answers from Jon. If he didn’t bury Anthony, where did the body go? And could Anthony have survived?

As Jai Sharma begins digging into the inconsistencies, tensions mount. Ruby is forced to reveal Anthony’s abuse to distract Jai from the mystery. But the truth is spinning out of control. If Anthony is still alive, how far will he go to get revenge?

Meanwhile, Emmerdale’s chaos intensifies—misdiagnoses, family secrets, shock departures, and a haunting possibility: the villain they thought was dead might be watching from the shadows. Stay tuned.
