Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has reflected on another year in the eponymous village, paying tribute to her beloved co-stars that she says have ‘changed her’ for the better.
The actress, who plays Ruby Miligan on the ITV soap, has been at the centre of many huge storylines since rocking up in the eponymous village almost two years ago.
From a historic sexual abuse story, helmed by powerful performances from all involved, to a murder cover up, Ruby has featured prominently in her time in the village thus far, becoming a firm favourite with fans along the way.
As she approaches two years since her debut, star Beth took some time to reflect on her Emmerdale journey to date – and in particular those who have made it so special for her.
Taking to Instagram, the former The Bill star shared a reel of pictures and videos taken with her co-stars and colleagues, including on-screen hubby William Ash, Lewis Barton star Bradley Riches and Dawn Taylor actress Olivia Bromley.
‘Another year here,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘I am in love with these people (and those I didn’t capture on camera.) You’re golden. And you have all changed me for the better.

‘I love you and I love my job.’
Beth’s social media post soon received a response from co-stars, with Bradley Riches writing: ‘Love YOUU’, while Olivia Bromley commented with; ‘Aw Beth is this cute x’
Aaron Dingle legend Danny Miller posted two red heart emojis in response while Belle Dingle star Eden Taylor-Draper added six silver hearts.
