Emmerdale star admits frustration with scripts as she teases ANOTHER murder twist on soap

She said: "It's quite frustrating when you get the scripts because you just think, 'Oh my god'. She is just rude to everybody."

"As an actor you get the scripts and you think, 'How do I make this work?' and then you have to find your own logic through it, whether you're playing a murder or whatever."

"Not that I'm saying I'm playing a murderer. But you have to find your own logic to understand it."

She continued: "It seems with Ruby that her best form of defence is attack. She's very impulsive and spontaneous, she speaks and acts without thinking.

"The only way I can justify her behaviour is that she's terrified of losing Caleb and sees his family as a threat, so instead of being clever about it and befriending them, she keeps insulting them which is obviously not going to help.

Ruby's way of thinking stems back to her teenage years after she was abandoned by her family when she fell pregnant.

Beth added: "It's a very childish way of approaching stuff but I don't think she learned that sophistication.

"She has that teenage way of thinking because her family turned her back on her and now she's stuck because she's never learnt."

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm.
