Fans of Emmerdale have predicted that Ruby will fall pregnant with Cain Dingle‘s baby. This is in spite of her having used the morning after pill following her fling with Cain.
In one of the soap’s more shocking (and controversial!) developments, Cain and Ruby slept together this week. This came as Moira was in hospital undergoing treatment for her brain tumour. And, as Cain struggled with his fear of losing Moira, he reverted to his old ways – resulting in a day of fighting, drinking and cheating for the Dingle bad boy.
Cain and Ruby both came to their senses in the immediate aftermath, but the damage was done – and both parties immediately regretted their actions.
Ruby took precautions by taking the morning after pill (which they passed off as Steph’s, when Caleb found the empty packet in the bin) but fans aren’t convinced that this is the last of it.

Ruby pregnant with Cain Dingle’s child, Emmerdale fans predict
Morning after pill be damned, some fans are convinced that Ruby could still fall pregnant with Cain’s child. This could happen through a future affair, or pure bad luck.
“Ruby will end up pregnant with Cain’s baby. Calling it now!” predicted one fan on X.
“They should have made her pregnant that would have been interesting,” said another.
“So are we going with divorce, an Xmas pregnancy or Cain going down the depression and suicide route?” asked one fan, wondering how the storyline might play out.
Ruby and Cain are both keen to move on from their betrayal – but will their transgressions catch up with them still?
The storyline continues tonight as Cain continues to wrestle with his guilt. And, with Moira recovering from her surgery, he’s desperate to move on. Can he and Ruby steer clear from each other to keep their secret hidden?

A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that there could be a particularly tragic end to Cain Dingle’s story this year – with the village hardman potentially set to tackle depression and even a suicide attempt.
Recent weeks have seen Cain wrestle with his fear of losing Moira, And, as she underwent surgery for her brain tumour, Cain spiralled out of control, drinking heavily in the garage.

Tormented Cain cheated on Moira with Ruby
As his mood worsened, a drunk and moody Cain lashed out – beating up Jimmy and verbally bashing Caleb. But there was worse to come. And, as Ruby slunk into the garage (nobody can quite figure out why) the pair slept together.
Last night’s episode of the soap (Thursday, November 21) saw Cain continue to struggle with what he had done, his sense of guilt getting the better of him as Moira lay recovering in hospital.
How will Cain cope in the weeks to come?

Cain to battle depression, new fan theory predicts on Emmerdale
As Cain continues to struggle with what he’s done, fans have predicted that he may be headed down a dark path. Are even darker days ahead for Cain?
“So are we going with divorce, a Xmas pregnancy or Cain going down the depression and suicide route?,” asked one fan.
“Cain needs to get his thoughts/feelings in check. Cheating aside, we can all see he has been struggling for weeks now,” another said.
“Moira undergoing brain surgery & Cain hits the self-destruct-poor-me, default button whenever the going gets tough. It’ll blow up in his face that’s for sure. It beggars belief he chose to lie down with Ruby who has her own demons,” said a third.
“Do the writers just hate the Dingles now?” asked a fourth. “How they handled Belle’s DV storyline, having Aaron be with his ex-husband’s long lost half-brother, sending Seb to live with someone else and now Cain betraying Moira with Ruby???”
Can Cain come to terms with what he’s done? Or, is a tragic future ahead for him?

Emmerdale tonight saw Cain Dingle feeling really sorry for himself and Ruby doing a really bad job of keeping their liaison a secret.
Meanwhile, Tom continued to try and manipulate everyone, but neither Nicola nor Vanessa were giving him an inch. Jimmy’s still an idiot, though.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday November 21.
Cain and Ruby struggled with their secret in Emmerdale tonight
Cain was by Moira’s side, but he felt guilty (Credit: ITV)
Things weren’t going well for Cain
Cain sat by Moira’s beside having flashbacks to what happened the day before. Charity later checked in on Cain, trying to get him to open up, she promised not to judge… Cain confessed he had done something very stupid. But he only told her he had beaten up Jimmy. Then he cryptically told her to keep hold of Mack and not mess it up. However, he still didn’t confess what had happened with Ruby.
The police turned up to arrest Cain while he was at Moira’s hospital bedside. Not sure they would do that, but then again it wasn’t PC Swirling or DS Foy, so who knows who these other cops are! At the station, Cain went with the ‘no comment’ angle and soon he was back at the hospital.
Moira then found out she had to wait a few weeks for the results of her biopsy. She may continue to have seizures and will be emotionally vulnerable. The doctor took Cain aside and insisted someone needed to be there for her, to which he promised he would be that person.
Cain and Ruby then met in the village and traded more insults about whose fault it was. All this arguing in the street might just cost them their secret, if you ask us…
Things weren’t much better for Ruby (Credit: ITV)
Ruby messed up
Ruby was doing her make-up and didn’t sleep. Guilty conscience glaringly obvious or what?!
Meanwhile, Caleb assumed it was all about her dad and encouraged her to speak to Anthony and say what she needs to, while she has the chance.
Anthony and Steph were in the cafe, when Ruby entered and asked for a word alone with her father. Ruby told him to leave and never come back. He seemed to agree very easily. So what’s going on here?
Steph was not happy to hear Anthony was off to Portsmouth and immediately laid into Ruby. Ruby desperately tried to make Steph see Anthony was a bad man, but Steph stayed firm and then Caleb took Steph’s side and devastated Ruby stalked off.
Steph then agreed to take Caleb’s job offer, but she needed to read the small print first, he commented she wouldn’t be his daughter if she didn’t. And we might be jumping to conclusions, but we’re just not convinced Steph is Caleb’s daughter.
Caleb then found the morning after pill in the bin. He went to discuss it with Cain and just as Cain was about to confess, Caleb said he thought it was Steph’s after she slept with Ross.
Relieved Cain told Caleb to leave it alone and Caleb decided he was right. Cain has dodged a bullet at this point after Ruby’s mistake, but for how much longer?
Jimmy won Nicola’s sympathy, but not ours (Credit: ITV)
Nicola moved back in and Tom continued his tricks in Emmerdale tonight
Battered and bruised Jimmy was seeking sympathy after Cain attacked him. He got it from both Nicola and Laurel. Not from us, though!
Nicola promised to always be there for Jimmy and she decided she and the kids would move back home. She insisted Jimmy called the police on Cain, though.
Meanwhile, Tom was at the vets trying to make small talk with Vanessa. But she wasn’t interested in having any sort of conversation with him. In fact, she let him know she knew exactly who and what he was.
Tom continued to try and intimidate her and take over her appointments, but Vanessa stayed strong. He kept trying to manipulate her, making subtle threats about employment tribunals. However Vanessa was not even remotely bothered by him and his pathetic behaviour. We’ve never liked her so much.
When he returned home Nicola was very clear she hadn’t forgiven him and she still didn’t believe him. The walls are closing in on Tom, that’s for sure…
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Kim wants Will gone, he’s not budging and it’s all a bit boring (Credit: ITV)
The Kim and Will saga dragged on
Kim and Will are still trading barbed comments at Home Farm. Will has seen his solicitor and thinks mediation is a good idea. Kim does not. Instead she offered him £100k – a first and final offer – she wants Will gone and this is what she thinks it will take.
Will wasn’t going anywhere though and told her the answer was no. Then Dawn turned up to whinge about her problems some more. But she told Will he was in the wrong over Kim and he should have taken the £100k. He promised her, she wouldn’t have to worry about money ever again.
Steph surprised Ross (Credit: ITV)
Ross and Jai’s robbery went wrong
Ross and Jai started doing their dodgy dealings in the cafe, and they weren’t talking particularly quietly, but they are plotting to steal all the mobile phones in Yorkshire as they come through Caleb’s depot.
Jai kept watch while Ross snuck in and stole a van. He drove it off to an empty barn with the music blaring, but the smug grin was wiped off his face when he opened the back door to find Steph there.
Ross claimed he had taken the van to check the brakes for Jai. She accused him of theft and kidnap as he tried to talk his way out of it, but she ended up kissing him. She even gave him one box of mobile phones for his efforts. But they turned out to be a box full of dancing Father Christmas’s. Oops.

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale aired a massive bombshell as Cain Dingle cheated on wife Moira with his own sister-in-law, Ruby. Between this and his beating up Jimmy, it was something of a return to form for Cain, who’s been playing the role of doting husband for a few years now.
However, cheating with Ruby isn’t the only mistake Cain’s made over the years. Here’s a look back the many notches on Cain Dingle’s bedpost.
One of Cain’s earliest vendettas was also his grossest (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Cain arrives in Emmerdale and seduces Angie and Ollie Reynolds
Cain first arrived on the scene in the year 2000 for the funeral of cousin Butch. Holding local police officer Angie Reynolds responsible for Butch’s death, Cain set out on a mission of revenge. This involved his seducing Angie – and her teenage daughter Ollie (aged only 15 years old!) too.
Cain and Angie’s toxic love-hate relationship ultimately led to her death; getting her killed in a car crash as they attempted to steal a truck together (a set up in which she hoped to have Cain sent down). Ollie left the village soon after, heading off to University in Manchester, never to return.
Cain’s sleeping with an underage girl has largely been brushed under the carpet too… although it wasn’t the only time…

Kissing cousins – Charity Dingle
Moira aside, Cain’s most notable love is cousin Charity, with whom he had a fling when they were 13 and 14, respectively. This union resulted in the birth of their daughter, Debbie.
After reconnecting with her parents, Debbie’s return into Charity and Cain’s life inspired them to give things another go. The pair embarked upon a tumultuous off-again, on-again relationship which included a 2005 break-up, 2009 proposal, and 2016 affair.
Sadie and Cain were a match made in hell (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
A bit of posh, Sadie King
Cain’s next toxic tryst was with manipulative Sadie King, wife of Jimmy. Her intense hatred of Charity – who, at the time, was set to marry Tom King – led to her tasking Cain (who she was also sleeping with at the time) with seducing his cousin and stopping the wedding.
Although they were successful in breaking up Tom and Charity, the plot backfired when Charity turned the tables, seducing Jimmy and sharing evidence of Sadie’s scheming with a furious Tom.
Not even Cain murdering her beloved dog in a fit of jealousy could break their bond. They later joined forces to kidnap Tom in their latest get rich scheme. However, this too backfired on Sadie, who was left with nothing when Cain fled, taking all the cash with him.
Using Jasmine Thomas to get back at Debbie
In addition to another creepy age difference, sixteen-year-old Jasmine Thomas was also his daughter’s girlfriend. Cain seduced her in a cruel attempt to get back at Debbie – and she fell pregnant soon afterwards.
Cain was left heartbroken when he learned that Jasmine went through with an abortion – funded by Sadie.
Maisie Wylde dishes the dirt
In 2009, Cain embarked upon a relationship with barmaid Maisie Wylde – although this was really just a pretext for him to get the dirt on her dad, millionaire Mark Wylde. Having gotten what he’d needed, he then ended things with her, leaving her heartbroken.

Emmerdale schemer Faye Lamb seduces Cain
Cain’s vendetta continued with the arrival of Mark’s secret wife, Faye. The pair briefly hooked up after she took on a PA job at the Sharmas’ sweet factory, but he ended it after realising that she was only using him to make Mark jealous.

Amy Wyatt and the birth of baby Kyle
During his latest break-up with Charity, Cain went on the rebound, hooking up with teenager Amy Wyatt in 2010. Their brief union resulted in the birth of their son, Kyle – despite Cain’s insistence otherwise.
Threatening Amy, he tried to bully her into getting an abortion, only for her to find out that she was too far gone for the procedure. She gave birth in 2011. Kyle fell into Cain’s care after the youth’s adoptive parents and grandmother died – reuniting with his mother when she returned to the soap in 2019.
Priya wasn’t a fan of how Cain treated Amy (Credit: ITV/YouTube)
Priya Kotecha gets the ick
In 2011, Cain began a casual relationship with Priya Kotecha. This soon hit the rocks when her brother, Jai, tried to convince her that Cain had only seduced her as a means to destroy their family. Priya shrugged off her brother’s paranoia, but ended things with Cain after learning that he’d gotten sixteen-year-old Amy pregnant. Gross.

Emmerdale: the love of Cain Dingle’s life, Moira Dingle
In 2011, Cain began his latest affair, sleeping with married farmer Moira Barton. While you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was another doomed fling, Cain’s relationship with Moira turned into the greatest love of his life.
Resuming their relationship after her husband died in 2012, the pair got married within two years, and have been inseparable ever since. Sure, he did have two affairs (once with Charity, then with vicar Harriet Finch), and she cheated on him with his long-lost son, but Cain and Moira are one of the soap’s strongest couples.
He stuck by her side after doctors diagnosed her with a brain tumour, only flinching at the last minute to have another affair, this time with his own sister-in-law, Ruby.

Viewers were left shell-shocked by last night’s episode (airing Wednesday, November 20) as Cain marked the occasion of wife Moira undergoing brain surgery by, uh, cheating on her with his sister-in-law, Ruby.

Cain cheats on Moira with Ruby
Soap fans watched aghast as Cain fell into bed (or the back of a car?) with Ruby after an argument turned unexpectedly steamy.
He then rushed to the hospital where Moira was recovering from surgery, and in good spirits after dreaming up a comforting conversation with dead daughter Holly. Her good mood surely won’t last though – the truth will always come out, and Moira is bound to learn what Cain and Ruby did sooner or later.
But what does this mean for Moira and Cain?

Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb reveals what’s next for Cain and Moira
Speaking on Cain and Moira’s future, actor Natalie J Robb – who plays Moira on the soap – recently told Emmerdale Insider and other media: “I think it’s really important that they stay together.”
She continued: “Marriages go through things. There’s temptation. There’s things that can happen. If everybody just gave up after the first hurdle of a marriage, people would just not get married now. It’s so easy to get out of marriages now.
“A lot of people do go through things, affairs, different things, financial problems. There could be lots of things that happen that pull you apart but then things can push you together again, which I think is nice to play.”

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale shocked viewers with scenes in which Cain cheated on Moira with Ruby – while she was in hospital undergoing surgery for her brain tumour.
As Cain wrestled with his fear of losing Moira, he sunk into old habits – drinking, fighting and making some, ah, questionable romantic choices. This culminated in Ruby appearing in the garage, where the pair gave in to mutual attraction and embraced in a steamy kiss.
Viewers were horrified to see Cain cheat on Moira, and baffled by how out of left-field the moment seemed to be. Earlier in the episode, Moira had dreamed of daughter Holly, reuniting with her late daughter.
Well, if Moira could dream of Holly, then why not Ruby and Cain too?

Emmerdale fans clutching at straws as Cain cheats on Moira
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to talk themselves out of what they’d apparently just seen. Did Cain really just cheat on Moira?
“Is the Ruby and Cain thing genuine or is it going to turn out as not actually happening?!” asked one fan.
“Did nobody but me think it was just a scenario,” suggested another.
“Why do this, it was so random why did she turn up? First part of the episode so beautiful. Second part vile, doing that to Moira. Hopefully it was dream,” said a third.
“Yes but has Cain actually had sex with Ruby?? That’s the question. I don’t think so,” another wrote.
As it is, it seems as though Cain’s actions were all too real – meaning that he did indeed cheat on his wife with Ruby.
Is there any coming back from this one? (Credit: ITV/YouTube)
Oh Emmerdale, what have you done?
The fallout of their actions remains to be seen – with Moira in recovery and in good spirits as the episode ended.

In a twist that nobody saw coming (or wanted), Cain Dingle cheated on his wife while she was in brain surgery – with his sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan.
Viewers were left shocked at the end of last night’s episode (November 20), as Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby slept together. Many took to social media to display their anger at the storyline.
Cain and Moira have always been one of the biggest and strongest power couples in Emmerdale, but with this latest twist, everyone can’t help feeling very let down.
Throwing a cheating storyline in the middle of a powerful health storyline has upset fans. Not only that, but after all Cain and Moira have faced, and her previous affair with Nate, was it really necessary?
But it seems fans weren’t the only ones surprised by it, as Ruby actress Beth Cordingly has spoken out about her reaction.

As Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby sleep together – actress speaks out
Taking to her Instagram after the episode aired, Beth posted a video to her followers. In the video she has a fearful expression on her face and admits: “I know. It’s really bad.”
She continued by worrying: “What’s going to happen when Moira finds out? I’m scared.”
Beth also mentioned Caleb’s reaction won’t be good, but admitted “Moira is probably more scary” between the pair.
The Emmerdale star went on to tell her followers what it was like when she first heard the news.
“When they told me in the storyline meeting that was going to happen, I literally went like this [Screaming]”, she confessed.
In the caption for the post, Beth wrote: “Tonight’s episode. I KNOW. Not a good idea.”
So it looks like even the cast weren’t too joyous of the storyline, and fans were quick to comment on her post letting her know what a shock it was.
One commented: “I’m actually unwell over it.”
Another predicted Moira’s reaction: “Hope you’re ready for a gift from Glasgow!”

How will Moira react?
It wasn’t long ago Moira accidentally tried to kill Ruby when she was hallucinating Emma Barton, so when she finds out what happened between her and Cain, the reaction could be even worse.
Both Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby have been involved in huge storylines recently. Cain has been trying to deal with Moira’s brain tumour (Not very well). Last night was a Cain and Moira special, and although fans were angry with the ending, the first half, with the return of Moira’s dead daughter Holly, served as an emotional treat.
Elsewhere, Ruby’s daughter Steph, and her father, Anthony, have arrived in the Dales. While she is keen for Steph to stay, she’s determined to get rid of Anthony.
But with this latest Emmerdale twist, what does the future hold for Coira? Could she ever forgive Cain? And how will Caleb react when he hears his wife has slept with his brother?

Emmerdale tonight had us crying and screaming in equal measure. Holly Barton’s return was sweet and moving, but Cain sleeping with Ruby was possibly the most crazy decision the soap has ever made. Why? Just why?
Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 20.
Moira’s tale in Emmerdale tonight
Things were tense as the medical team prepped Moira for her operation (Credit: ITV)
Moira went in for surgery
As Moira was waiting with Cain for her surgery, he was still in denial over the situation. Moira demanded he go home, she was worried about him being aggressive with the doctors and nurses.
They shared a tearful hug before Moira was taken away, but Cain couldn’t tell her he loves her. He then went to work, despite Sam’s protests he couldn’t just ‘bog off’. Sam insisted Cain was going to do something stupid, but Cain stormed off.
Moira was overwhelmed to be near her daughter again (Credit: ITV)
Holly ‘returned’ for Moira
As Moira went under she went into a dream state and found herself lying on the sofa with Kyle and Isaac playing beside her. She was then transported outside as the boys played football and she walked out into the sunlight (beautifully reflecting Moira’s new blonde highlights, we must say!)
Then came shock twist number one: Holly Barton returned. Moira’s daughter Holly died in a heartbreaking overdose in 2016, but here she was sitting next to her mum. They shared a tearful catch-up as the doctor’s voiceover discussed the tumour being a higher grade than they thought. Holly apologised for leaving her and making her mum so sad. But then the doctor’s voice burst again in saying Moira was having a seizure and had lost a lot of blood.
It seemed like Holly was encouraging her mum to let go and be with her, but as they walked off, Moira couldn’t go with Holly, she needed to check on the boys, meaning Holly had to go alone. Moira was not ready to leave her boys yet.
Moira was then seen alive and in recovery, being woken up by the nurse. The operation went well and it’s all over.
Cain then arrived at the hospital and was actually grateful to the doctors and nurses for saving Moira’s life. He finally told Moira he loved her, but it was clear something was troubling him…

Jimmy got a beating
And then we cut to Cain‘s experiences over the last four hours. We saw him slugging whiskey with bloodied hands where Caleb found him and went nuts.
The clock then wound back to Cain drinking and Jimmy approaching him. Jimmy laid into him over the Tom and Belle situation. Talk about timing, Jimmy! So Cain then did what Cain does and beat him up!
Cain and Ruby was all kings of wrong and we do not approve (Credit: ITV)
Cain and RUBY??!!
We went back again in time again, with Cain closing up the garage and Caleb approaching, they rowed and then we went back another hour. And then can shock twist number two: Cain was doing up his shirt – and Ruby was there putting her own clothes back on.
Back we went another 45 minutes to see Cain sulking and drinking in a car at the garage when Ruby came in. It sort of came out of nowhere: they argued and Cain brought up her dad – before they suddenly kissed passionately. WHAT THE HELL?!
We then went forward to Cain arriving at the hospital to see Moira and find out how the operation went. The doctor said the tumour was out and she was confident the surgery went well. Cain was so relieved, but couldn’t see her – the guilt overwhelming him. Ruby then texted him telling him today had never happened.
Oh Emmerdale, what have you done? This was a bad, bad move. Not one single viewer will be happy about this, we can guarantee it. Why can’t you leave couples alone?
Whoever thought up this storyline twist? Off with their heads!

Emmerdale has aired unthinkable scenes tonight as Cain Dingle slept with sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan while his wife Moira was having brain surgery.
Viewers around the country – and indeed at Emmerdale Insider – gasped in horror at the shocking twist and it’s fair to say they were not happy at all.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight?
Moira was scared as she waited for the operation to remove her tumour, but Cain was rude and aggressive. Moira sent him away so he didn’t insult all the doctors and nurses while she was under.
He stomped off while Moira was put to sleep and she went into a parallel universe where she was reunited with dead daughter Holly. As Holly tried to persuade Moira to be with her, in the real world, the operation became more complicated.
But not allowing herself to be led off by Holly, Moira chose to stay with her boys, Kyle and Isaac, and survived the operation. Phew!
But it was when Ruby arrived at the garage, hiding from her dad, that things got really bad. She and Cain started trading insults then out of nowhere started kissing. There was barely even any sexual tension, it was just anger from both of them.
After sleeping together they both insisted it had never happened and no one could ever find out – which means everyone will find out before too long, this is Emmerdale after all.

Emmerdale fans blast Cain and Ruby cheating decision
So tonight’s episode begs the question: What was Emmerdale thinking? Why on earth would they have Cain do the unthinkable and cheat on Moira when she is so vulnerable?
And just as Ruby is starting to become likeable and have more to her than just her plotting and sharp tongue, she goes and sets herself back. So far back, in fact, she’s almost too far gone.
Fans definitely agree! They felt the soap had hit just the right notes with the first half – and then totally ruined it with the second.
“First half of that episode was brilliant, Natalie is truly phenomenal. The second half of that episode was the biggest [bleep] storm ever to grace our tv screens. Protect Moira at all costs now,” said one on X.
Another addressed the soap directly: “Dear Emmerdale, how can you do something as lovely as the first half of tonight’s episode and then do something as horrible, inexplicable and utterly out of character as in the second? Who thought that was a good idea? Because it wasn’t.”
“I’ve just watched Emmerdale and I legit cannot focus on anything else. What the actual [bleep] have I just watched? What is going on? Who am I? What planet is this?” raged one more.

‘Completely unnecessary’ slam fans
A fourth said: “Completely unnecessary and ruined an otherwise brilliant and emotional episode.”
“Have no words for the second half of tonight’s Emmerdale. Well done EDHQ for ruining such an important story with a pathetic plot device!!!!!” added a fifth.
A sixth wrote: “I am genuinely so mad about tonight’s Emmerdale. So unnecessary and unrealistic. Why have they had to do this in what was such a beautiful episode?”
“It’s such a shame because it was an episode of two halves. A lovely first half with a nice twist and then a horrible second half with a twist that didn’t need to happen whatsoever.”
No one is happy – can Emmerdale ever redeem themselves – and Cain after this?
