Emmerdale fans have been conned out of thousands of pounds thanks to scammers posing as stars from the show, including Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley.
An investigation by ITV’s Tonight has revealed that cruel scammers are using increasingly inventive and sophisticated ways to trick unsuspecting people into handing over their cash. Often with the help of AI technology that means they can pose as soap stars.
In an episode that airs tonight (Thursday March 13), ITV’s Alex Beresford reveals the shocking scale of the issue.
It’s estimated that eight million scam videos will be shared this year online but only 1 in 10 adults in Britain feel confident they’d be able to tell the difference between a fake and the real thing.

Romance scams
One unsuspecting Emmerdale fan fell victim to not one but two romance scams involving tricksters posing as actors from the show.
The daughter of the victim appears in ITV’s Tonight, talking about how traumatic it has been for her family. She wanted to remain anonymous so she’s known as Kirsty in the show.
In 2023 Kirsty’s mum was contacted by someone she thought was the Emmerdale actor Tony Audenshaw (who plays Bob Hope).
And it wasn’t long before Kirsty noticed a big change in her mum’s behaviour.

Tricked by someone posing as Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley
“I drove round to her house and there were some suitcases in the hallway, she told me that she’d fallen in love with somebody, he’s on Emmerdale,” Kirsty explains in the show. “I immediately got suspicious, she said he’s my soul mate, I know him really well.”
Kirsty’s mum was buying gift cards for the scammer, and eventually admitted she’d spent almost £20,000.
“It was £100 to £200 pounds at a time,” Kirsty says. “By December, it was £300 pounds a day. I asked ‘how much have you sent?’ She said ‘I think about 15,000 pounds’. I just gave her a big hug and said ‘it’s not true, you’ve been scammed’.”

Not giving up
Luckily, Kirsty managed to get some of her mum’s money back. But it was just a year later when she noticed again that her mum was spending a lot of money in a short time.
“I phoned her and the first thing she said was: ‘it’s not a scam, he sent me videos of himself this time’.”
This time, Kirsty’s mum was communicating with a scammer who was posing as Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley. The fraudsters had managed to manipulate a video of Jeff using AI technology, so they could tailor his words and fool Kirsty’s mum.
Kirsty said “Mum felt really humiliated, she’s grieving really, it’s the loss of not just money, it’s the loss of what she thought was a relationship as well.”
There are many fake profiles of Emmerdale stars online. The team at Tonight found 90 profiles posing as Jeff Hordley!

“They start talking under a fake account commenting on the storyline telling someone you’re beautiful, you’re gorgeous. And I’ll step in and say he’s not real! And this is happening more and more, they’re hunting vulnerable women,” says Lisa.
Coronation Street’s Dan Brocklebank agrees. “It’s happened so many times, people set up what they call my personal account or my official account and start to message people, and they’re being conned out of thousands of pounds,” he says.

Last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Wednesday, March 12) saw Steph Miligan confront Cain over her parents’ lies. Determined to seek answers over her grandfather’s disappearance, Steph went snooping about – and discovered Caleb’s gun.
Covering for himself, Caleb claimed he’d gotten it with the intention of shooting Cain in revenge for his fling with Ruby. However, Steph wasn’t buying it, and stormed over to get Cain’s version of events.

But Cain had been warned, and sang from the same hymn sheet as Caleb and Ruby, calling her dad a ‘coward’ for not being able to go through with shooting him.
Some fans, however, were distracted by other thoughts -namely, the sparks they thought they’d spotted between Steph and Cain.

Emmerdale fans predict Steph and Cain affair
Writing on X as last night’s scenes aired, fans shared their theories as to where Cain and Steph might be headed. And some wondered whether he might cheat on Moira (again) with his niece.
“Steph to sleep with Cain soon?” asked one fan.
“Cain & Steff HAS to happen,” predicted another.
“If Moira walks in she’ll think Cain is going for the daughter mother combo,” joked a third.
An unlikely series of events – but few could have predicted Ruby and Cain either, and look how that one turned out. Could Cain and Steph have an affair?

Cain Dingle is one of the most iconic characters in Emmerdale, and also now head of the biggest family in the village.
The Dingles have been residents for over 60 years, and their family tree goes back more than 10 generations. Cain has a lot of family in the Dales – from siblings and cousins, to kids and grandchildren.
But who is who in the Cain Dingle clan? Let’s take a look at his family relations and see how they’re all connected.

Zak Dingle was Cain’s dad
Cain – played by Jeff Hordley – grew up thinking Zak was his uncle, but he was actually his real father. Zak had a one-night stand with sister-in-law Faith on Valentine’s Day 1974, which resulted in her falling pregnant with Cain.
Although Zak knew he was Cain’s dad, his brother Shadrach raised him as his own.

The truth came out in 2001 when Zak told Cain he was his dad during a violent row. Cain was disgusted by the betrayal and it took a long time for him to accept Zak in his life. Both stubborn and short-tempered, Cain and Zak had a tempestuous relationship. Events came to a head in 2011 when Zak attacked Cain and left him for dead in revenge for his bad behaviour.
Things did calm down as they got older, and Cain made his peace with his father. Zak sadly died in October 2024 and Cain has assumed his role as head of the Dingle clan.
Cain’s other dad Shadrach was a raging alcoholic (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Shadrach Dingle
Shadrach was the man Cain called dad for for the first 26 years of his life. But blood or no blood, he wasn’t much of a father. He was a selfish slob and raging alcoholic who often beat Cain.
He was also abusive towards wife Faith, which is why she ended up walking out on the family. After she left, Shadrach’s violent outbursts towards Cain became even more frequent.
Shadrach made a few feeble attempts to get sober, but nothing ever stuck. Chas always had more time for her father, but Cain viewed Shadrach as a pathetic waster. In the end, Shadrach drowned after trying to save his beer cans from a river. An autopsy confirmed he would have died hours later anyway due to a ruptured liver.

Faith Dingle
Cain’s mum was the late Faith Dingle, who was also mum to Chas and Caleb.
The pair had a complicated history after Faith walked out on Cain when he was just 12 years old. Cain vowed he would never forgive Faith for what she did and was furious when she arrived in 2017 to make amends.
While Chas was able to get past Faith leaving, Cain really struggled. Mum and son’s relationship remained strained, even when Faith was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Cain eventually made his peace with his mum during the last moments of her life. After realising she planned to take her own life with an overdose of morphine, Cain rushed to Faith’s side. He cradled his mum and admitted his love for her as she slipped away.
Cain Dingle family: Siblings

Chas Dingle
The most stable and constant presence in Cain’s life has been his half-sister, Chas. They may fight like cat and dog, but their love for one another runs deep.
Chas and Cain were still kids when their mum Faith walked out and had to learn to stick together. When Chas fell pregnant with son Aaron at just 14, it was Cain who helped provide for them.
Cain has been Chas’s rock through some of the darkest times in her life, including the discovery that her ex-husband Gordon had abused Aaron over a number of years. He’s also fiercely protective of her and has disapproved of just about every man she’s ever been with. Although her last husband Paddy Kirk did get the seal of approval.
Soft-hearted Sam is Cain’s younger half-brother and the third son of Zak’s sons. He is also the longest-serving Dingle, having been on our screens for 30 years.
He and Cain are completely different in personality, but they share a close bond. The Dingle Code is of upmost importance to the brothers, and they don’t take kindly to it being broken.
In 2023, Cain supported Sam when it was revealed his wife Lydia had been raped by her ex Craig Reed. The brothers held Craig hostage and beat him. Craig eventually died under hooves of Kim Tate’s horse Ice, and Cain left him to die alone instead of calling for help.
Caleb and Cain’s relationship has been pushed to the limits (Credit: ITV)
Caleb Miligan
Cain and Caleb are half-brothers, but they did not grow up together. Caleb was the product of an affair Faith had with millionaire businessman Frank Tate.
The siblings met for the first time in 1991 when Caleb visited the garage where Cain was working. Caleb wanted to establish a relationship, but Cain lied to him that Faith was dead. They went out joyriding and were pulled over by the police. Cain then agreed he would take the rap (he ended up getting three years in prison) as long as Caleb never contacted him again.
Caleb did not keep to his word and came to the Dales in Christmas 2022 after learning Faith had recently passed away. The brothers’ reunion was not a happy one, and it’s been up and down since then.
Recently, Caleb attempted to frame Cain for Anthony Fox’s murder after finding out he’d slept with his wife Ruby. Cain warned Caleb he would end up six feet under with Anthony if he ever pulled a stunt like that again.
He was even less impressed when it transpired Tina was trying to get her mitts on Zak’s money and blackmailing Mandy over her being Vinny’s long-lost mum.
Cain took his revenge on Tina by setting fire to her caravan and ordered her out of the village!

Belle Dingle
Belle is Cain’s youngest sibling and his half-sister through Zak. She was born on Christmas Day 1998 in the pigsty of Wishing Well Cottage.
Cain has always been incredibly protective of Belle. He’s supported her through some of the toughest times in her life, most recently the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of Tom King.
Ben Dingle was one of Cain’s half-brothers (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Other brothers
Cain has/had three other older half-brothers – Nathan, Butch and Ben.
Nathan is Zak’s eldest son and has never been seen on screen. According to a story once told by Tina Dingle, Nathan disowned the Dingles after they caused a scene at his wedding. He has never been mentioned since that conversation back in 1995.
Butch was Zak’s second son. His life was tragically cut short in March 2000 when he was fatally injured in a bus crash. Cain’s first appearance was at Butch’s funeral when he came to pay his respects.
Finally there was Ben, who was Zak’s third lad and the first Dingle to be seen on screen. He was killed during a brawl with the local doctor’s son Luke McAllister back in 1994. Butch and Ben are buried next to one another in the graveyard.
Cain and Charity have been through it all together (Credit: ITV)
How Cain’s related to Charity
Charity is Cain’s second cousin, his on/off ex-lover and the mother of his daughter, Debbie.
The duo’s iconic love story was a central focus during Cain’s early years in the village. Charity was undoubtedly Cain’s first love. They started a sexual relationship when Cain was 14, and Charity just 12. Debbie was born in October 1989 and put up for adoption.
Cain and Charity resumed their affair as adults, becoming partners in crime as well as the bedroom. They nearly got married in 2010, but Charity got cold feet at the last minute.
Their last steamy liaison was 9 years ago, but Cain and Charity have remained mates, who always have one another’s backs.

Cain’s other cousins
Marlon Dingle
Marlon is Cain’s cousin and they have lived in the same village for 25 years.
Although bonded by blood, Marlon and Cain are completely different characters and not super close. Marlon’s bestie is of course, Paddy Kirk, and together they have created one of soap’s most solid partnerships.
Marlon has worked as a chef at The Woolpack for almost three decades. He is married to Rhona Goskirk and dad to son Leo and daughter April.
Mandy is another of one Cain’s many cousins (Credit: ITV)
Mandy Dingle
Motormouth Mandy is a cousin of Cain’s and a complete force of nature.
The bubbly beautician first arrived in 1995 and has lived in the village on and off over the years. Mandy got wed to Cain’s half-brother Butch, but the marriage did not last long. She’s currently loved up with third husband Paddy Kirk, who she married for a second time last year.
Mandy has one son, Vinny, who she adopted after his dad, her ex, Paul walked out on them. Vinny’s real mum turned out to be Tina, a secret which she tried to blackmail Mandy with. Mandy’s hardman cousin came to her defence and gave Tina her marching orders from Emmerdale.
Cain Dingle family: Kids

Daughter Debbie Dingle
Debbie is Cain’s eldest child and his only daughter, the result of his teenage romance with Charity.
The Dingles wouldn’t allow 13-year-old Charity to keep her daughter, so a woman called Pat Jones adopted Debbie. She arrived in the village in 2002 as the the temporary foster child of Paddy and Emily Kirk.
Realising who Debbie was came as a massive shock to Cain, but he was desperate to be part of her life. His relationship with Debbie was often more stable, whereas Charity and Debbie frequently clashed.
Debbie had an eventful time in the village, with numerous romances, a few affairs and a stint in prison. She said goodbye to Emmerdale in 2019 after Lisa Dingle left her a garage in Scotland in her will.
Nate is currently in a watery grave (Credit: ITV)
Cain’s sons
Nate Robinson
Cain’s eldest son Nate was born in 1991 following his fling with barmaid Cara Robinson. Cain never knew of Nate’s existence after Faith coerced Cara into not telling about the baby. Shadrach was a racist and Faith feared he wouldn’t approve of his son having a mixed-race child.
Nate grew up believing Cain had abandoned him. He came to Emmerdale in 2019 and had an affair with Moira in revenge. Cain discovered the truth and almost killed Nate. During a terrifying showdown on a boat, Nate realised his dad genuinely knew nothing about him.
The pair eventually made up and Nate made a life for himself in the village, marrying Tracy Shankley and welcoming baby Frankie. However, Cain could never quite get to a place of trust with his son.
In September 2024, he attacked Nate after wrongly assuming he was sleeping with Moira again. Nate left the village later that day for a new life in Shetland, but we now know he never made it that far. Somone murdered Nate and his body is currently at the bottom bottom of a frozen lake, while the killer remains at large.
Young Kyle is a Dingle by blood (Credit: ITV)
Kyle Winchester
Kyle came to be after Cain had a fling with 16-year-old Amy Wyatt. When Cain discovered Amy’s pregnancy, he put pressure on her to have abortion, but she refused to proceed.
Amy hid her pregnancy and gave birth to Kyle in December 2011 by herself in the village cemetery. Kyle initially went to adoptive parents but reunited with Amy and Cain after they died.
Kyle’s most memorable moment was in 2022 when he shot and killed Cain’s nemesis Al Chapman. Cain took the blame for the crime and served time in prison. He only tasted freedom again after Kyle confessed it was him who pulled the trigger.
Cain is now trying to help Kyle navigate his grief over Amy’s death.
Isaac’s birth came as a complete surprise (Credit: ITV)
Cain Dingle’s youngest son: Isaac Dingle
Isaac is Cain’s youngest child and his son with Moira.
He was born in dramatic circumstances back in 2017 after Moira went into labour without realising she was pregnant. Moira initially thought her then-boyfriend Pete Barton was Isaac’s dad, but it later transpired he was Cain’s.
Cain Dingle family tree extends to grandchildren
Cain’s granddaughter Sarah has had a tough life (Credit: ITV)
Sarah Sugden
Sarah is Cain’s granddaughter and the daughter of Debbie Dingle and Andy Sugden. Debbie gave birth to Sarah when she was 15 after sleeping with 18-year-old Andy.
Bad health has long overshadowed Sarah’s young life. Aged six she received the diagnosis for fanconi anemia, a rare blood disorder which causes bone marrow failure. The severity of the illness means Sarah has a much shorter life expectancy than most. Sarah also overcame a battle against throat cancer.
She works with Cain as a mechanic at his garage, Barton and Dingle Automotives, and has definitely inherited her grandad’s rebellious streak.
Jack Sugden
Jack is Cain’s grandson through his daughter Debbie. She conceived him as a saviour sibling for Sarah, who needed a life-saving bone marrow transplant.
Set to celebrate his 13th birthday this year, Jack has not been in the village since 2019. He left for a new life in Scotland alongside mum Debbie and Cain pops up there for the occasional visit.

Frankie Robinson
Frankie is Cain’s youngest grandchild and the daughter of his late son Nate.
Her name is in honour of her mum Tracy’s late father Frank Clayton, who died trying to save her from a fire in 2019. Frankie arrived into the world in February 2021.
Little Frankie lives with Tracy in Tug Ghyll and Cain plays an active role in her life.
Cain Dingle family: Nieces and nephews
Chas gave birth to Aaron when she still a kid (Credit: ITV)
Aaron Dingle
Aaron is Cain’s eldest nephew and the only son of his sister Chas.
Cain helped support Chas after she had Aaron at 14, and was a father figure for her son. He and Aaron are in some ways like two peas in a pod – both possess the same quick temper and appetite for law-breaking, but are softies underneath it all.
Their relationship has often been stormy, and violent, but Cain has supported Aaron through thick and thin.
Like Cain before him, Samson is now serving time in prison (Credit: ITV)
Samson Dingle
Samson is Cain’s nephew and Sam’s only son. He has proved himself to be a troublemaker and schemer.
He got teenage Amelia Spencer pregnant, but refused to be a father when she gave birth to baby Esther. Samson then suddenly changed his mind, but it transpired he was only doing this to blackmail Noah out of thousands.
Shocking betrayal struck again when he refused to believe that boss Craig Reed had raped stepmum Lydia.
Samson finally got his comeuppance after framing Matty Barton for stabbing him. Matty went to prison, but when Samson ‘fessed up what he’d done he received four years behind bars.
Cain, who has served time himself, gave Samson a crash course in how to survive prison. We wonder if it’s helping?
Nicky is Caleb’s son and Cain’s nephew (Credit: ITV)
Nicky Miligan
Former nanny Nicky is the son of Caleb and Ruby, making him Cain’s nephew by blood.
He proved he’d inherited the Dingle gene for scamming when he conned Gabby Thomas as part of a bigger plan to get revenge on Caleb’s nemesis Kim Tate.
Nicky left the Dales last year after discovering his parents had conspired to cover up Ruby running over Ethan Anderson. He departed the village for a new life abroad with boyfriend Suni Sharma and only occasionally gets a mention.
Steph is Cain’s niece but not by blood (Credit: ITV)
Steph Miligan
Cain’s fiery niece Steph isn’t actually related to him by blood. Cain’s brother Caleb raised her, but we have all since discovered that Steph’s biological father was Anthony Fox.
Ruby murdered her abusive father, and Cain was one of the five people who helped cover up the crime. But will the truth succeed in tearing the Dingle/Miligan clan apart?

It’s been a rough year so far, but things finally seem to be on the up for Cain Dingle in Emmerdale. Cain has been in a dark place ever since cheating on wife Moira in a fling with sister-in-law Ruby last year.
Since then, he’s wrestled with his guilt, managing to pull himself together enough to support Moira through her recovery and subsequent foll0w-up treatment. However, his dark secret came out on Valentine’s Day (how romantic) after a confrontation with Caleb aired his dirty laundry all over the village.
Cain confessed to Moira, who was devastated by his betrayal. While it looked for a while as though their marriage was over, the pair reconciled this week, putting Cain and Moira back on an even keel.
But what’s next for Cain Dingle? His marriage may have been saved, but there’s still much to come for the Dingle hardman…

Concentrate on rebuilding his family… carefully
First things first, Cain will need to start rebuilding his family. While Moira reassured him that he didn’t need to make it up to her – to “just make it work” – Cain will still want to rebuild a foundation of trust.
This includes Matty, who was fuming at the news that Moira had taken back Cain in spite of his betrayal. Cain was patient as Matty lashed out on Thursday, describing him as his son, in spite of all that had gone on.
“That Matty and Cain scene tonight was so lovely, I really need to see them have more of a bond in the coming months,” wrote one viewer.
But does Cain need to watch his back? One fan theory has suggested that Moira might not be quite so forgiving after all.
“Hmmmm I still think she’s up to something,” suggested one fan.
“Cain’s slow as hell. Although I don’t believe Moira for a second,” said another.

Hold a self-pity party after the death of Nate
One dark cloud over the horizon is the impending revelation that Nate is dead. In the aftermath of the limo crash last month, the soap confirmed that Nate is dead – and currently chained up in an icy lake.
With Nate’s death sure to come out eventually, Cain won’t take the news well – especially considering how they parted, with Cain beating him up after falsely accusing his son of seducing Moira again.
“Cain is gonna think worse about himself soon. The last time he saw him, he beat him up for something he didn’t do and never got to apologise to him,” one fan pointed out on Reddit.
Will Cain be able to forgive himself for his treatment of Nate?
Steph’s not buying her family’s lies about Anthony (Credit: ITV)
Tell Steph about Anthony
Between feeling sorry for himself and caring for his sick wife, Cain has also had to contend with a murder cover-up. While John appeared to ease worried minds by showing them where he’d stashed the body (or did he?) Steph is still asking some difficult questions.
“I think Cain is going to be the one who tells Steph the truth about Anthony raping her mother and his role her conception,†one fan shared on X.
Caleb’s hospital stay is still to come (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale flash-forwards suggest Cain puts Caleb in hospital… or worse
As their feud escalated last week, Cain issued his brother a chilling threat. This came as he learned Caleb had planned to frame him for Anthony’s murder.
And, with a flash-forward still to play out, fans know that Caleb will find himself flatlining in hospital later this year. Is this a result of Cain making good on his threat?
“I reckon the flash forward of Caleb flatlining in hospital is because he killed Nate, Cain finds out and puts him in a coma,” suggested one fan.
“Is Cain at Nate’s graveside and is that the reason Caleb in hospital? Because Cain found out he killed his son?” another asked, referencing the second flash-forward – which saw Cain looking distraught at a mystery grave.
Fans feared Jeff Hordley might not survive the events of February (Credit: ITV)
Cain to leave Emmerdale?
In the run-up to the ice limo crash, many viewers stressed that the fan-favourite Dingle might be leaving the soap. Actor Jeff Hordley didn’t exactly do much to assuage those fears either, saying previously: “I worry all the time! …Not all the time, that’s a little over the top.
He continued: “Every time there’s news of this [exits] it can settle us as a cast because we know the shelf life of characters in not forever on soaps, and it’s down to the producers and writers to steer the ship and take us in the direction they want to take us.â€
Cain may have survived the Valentine’s Day cull, but could a surprise exit be on the cards still?

It’s been another emotional week in Emmerdale this week, but some things just didn’t make sense to us.
Moira made a huge, lightning speed decision over Cain. No one turned up to Leyla’s funeral and Amy loved animals. Apparently.
Here are the things that left us scratching our heads in Emmerdale this week.
Things that didn’t make sense in Emmerdale this week
Moira seduced Cain with talk of chicken burgers and it was all very sudden (Credit: ITV)
1. Moira’s U-turn over Cain
On Monday (March 3) Moira tearfully told Cain they couldn’t make it work and he needed to move out. Their marriage was over. On Tuesday (March 4) she insisted they tell Kyle and Isaac they were splitting up.
But then Ruby sat her down for a cuppa and told her some home truths: Moira is not that innocent having slept with Nate. And also that she and Cain were meant to be together and she shouldn’t throw that away.
When Cain arrived to meet with the boys and tell them, Moira was still adamant they were going through with it.
Then suddenly she started talking about chicken burgers and how she didn’t want to freeze one in a pack of four. Cain was confused, and so were we, until she spelt out she wanted them to try again. And the pair kissed passionately.
Now, while we are thrilled the two are back together as a Coira split was NOT what we wanted, this seemed very sudden about-turn. Literally in the space of about 10 seconds. And to be so passionate so quickly? Something didn’t feel right…
Is she playing him for revenge? Could there be something else about to knock at Moira’s door – did she have something to do with Nate’s death? Or have we just been watching soaps too long and are always expecting too many twists?!
Funeral madness in Emmerdale this week
David Metcalfe – aka Matthew Wolfenden – left Emmerdale last year (Credit: ITV)
2. Where were Leyla’s family?
Now we know David hates Jacob for sleeping with Victoria and we know Alicia lives in Portugal, but them not returning for Leyla’s funeral was ridiculous.
Broken leg or not, Alicia could have got on a plane and been then to support the boy she brought up as her son for years. And David could have popped up from London for a day whether Theo was ill or not. It’s really done Leyla dirty following her devastating death.
Villagers were forced to choose whose funeral to attend (Credit: ITV)
3. Why were the funerals on the same day?!
Two popular village women, with lots of connections to other residents, so why oh why oh why were Amy and Leyla’s funerals on the same day at the same time?!
It was particularly odd for Eric Pollard not to attend Amy’s funeral – the girl he adopted with late wife Val, and gave away at her wedding to Matty. Instead he went to Leyla’s funeral to support Jacob as he saw Leyla as a surrogate daughter.
It was a lose lose for Pollard, really, so why didn’t they hold the funerals days or even just hours apart?
Matty held Amy’s funeral in the woods because she loved animals and nature (Credit: ITV)
4. Since when did Amy love animals?
We know Amy was a carefree spirit, but we had no idea about her intense love for animals. Nor that that was why animals, namely Chip the dog, were invited to her funeral. You learn something new about dead characters every day.
April and Marlon in Emmerdale this week

5. April claiming she was homeless
Bit of a pinickity one this, but April keeps saying she was homeless. She technically wasn’t, she ran away. There is a difference, because she did have a loving, safe home to go to. She chose not to.
And for that matter, was her life with Marlon and Rhona really so awful, living in a squat was better? We keep wondering if there is another flashback incoming because we really can’t see what was so terrible…
What else happened in Emmerdale this week?
6. How is everyone so flush?
Victoria bought two bottles of wine for £15. She gave Tracy a £20 note and told her to stick the change in the charity box. That’s not just a few pennies, that’s £5! Nice of her to give that to charity, for sure, but just months ago she was destitute, so how can she afford it now?

In Emmerdale Cain Dingle is the indisputable bad boy of the village and has been causing carnage for almost half a century!
Cain has a colourful backstory full of criminal capers and forbidden romances. He’s had affairs with a policewoman, a vicar, his own cousin – and his own brother’s wife!
Cain was finally tamed by feisty farmer, Moira Dingle, who he married in 2014. The couple remain together, but their journey to happiness certainly hasn’t been straightforward.
Last month, Moira discovered what we fans have known for a while – that Cain slept with Ruby. At first, Moira told him their marriage was done, but has now had a change of heart and told him she wants to give their marriage another go.

Cain’s arrival in the Dales
Cain arrived in Emmerdale on March 30, 2000 just months into the new millennium.
Introduced as the black sheep of the Dingle family, Cain showed his criminal tendencies early on. Manipulative and cunning, rather than evil to the core, Cain’s speciality was always getting involved in scams.
But he’s not always got away with his crimes. Cain has been sentenced to prison on more than one occasion. His most recent stint inside was when he confessed to shooting Al Chapman, although it was soon discovered Cain wasn’t the guilty party.

Who is Cain Dingle’s dad?
A Dingle through and through, Cain is the son of Zak Dingle and Faith Dingle. Faith was married to Zak’s brother Shadrach Dingle, but had a one-night stand with Zak on Valentine’s Day 1974, the product of which was Cain. He had no idea Zak was his biological dad until it came out in true soap fashion while they were in the middle of a fight.
From his dad’s side, Cain’s got six half-siblings – Nathan, Sam, Belle and Tina – who recently returned to the village after almost three decades away. Plus he’s also half-brother to the late Ben and Butch Dingle. He shares mum Faith with Chas Dingle and Caleb Miligan.
Cain is a dad of four, by four different women. He has one daughter, Debbie Dingle, and three sons, Nate Robinson – who is currently not speaking to his dad and has moved to Shetland, Kyle Winchester and Isaac Dingle.
After Faith walked out on her family, teenage Cain stepped up to care for his sister. Alcoholic Shadrach was not a good dad and regularly beat Cain, although he never harmed Chas.
When Faith came back into the siblings’ lives in 2017, Cain did not want to know. It took her terminal breast cancer diagnosis in 2022 to finally unite mother and son. He was with her when she took her own life in emotional scenes aired in October 2022.
Finding Caleb
She left behind a big secret: son Caleb, who came to the village to reunite with his brother and sister after Faith’s death. Chas had no idea he even existed and Cain didn’t catch on to his real identity until Caleb confessed he was Faith’s son by Frank Tate.
The brothers were at war at the start, but have reconciled and they’re beginning to build a relationship.

Cain and Charity’s history and how they are related
You could write a book on Cain and Charity’s dysfunctional relationship!
The second cousins had a fling when they were 14 and 13 respectively. This resulted in the birth of their daughter, Debbie in October 1989, who was subsequently given up for adoption.
Debbie came to live in the village in the Christmas of 2002 when she was fostered by Paddy Kirk and his then-wife, Emily. She reconnected with her birth parents and the trio formed a close bond.
The return of their daughter prompted Cain and Charity to give things another go. They somehow managed to make it work until 2005, when Charity ditched Cain – and the village – for a fresh start elsewhere.
She returned four years later. The pair rekindled their romance and Cain popped the question in December 2009, presenting Charity with a plastic engagement ring.
Cain then planned a surprise wedding. But Charity decided she wasn’t ready to settle down and called their engagement off.
The pair finally called it quits shortly afterwards when Cain strayed with glamorous Faye Lamb and Charity left him for Jai Sharma.
Since then there’s been a few cheeky liaisons – including a brief affair in 2016 – but no long-term reunion, much to the disappointment of some fans who believe Cain’s heart truly lies with Charity.

Forbidden affairs
Cain Dingle has amassed quite a few notches on his bedpost during his time in Emmerdale and has a speciality for stealing other bloke’s wives!
His first entanglement was an ill-fated one with married police officer, Angie Reynolds. Their toxic affair was fuelled by lust and revenge – on both sides – and Cain even bedded Angie’s teenage daughter Ollie in a bid to try and make her jealous.
Tragedy struck in 2002 when Angie tried to set Cain up for robbery, but was fatally injured in a car crash.
Cain’s penchant for a bit of posh also led him to sleep with Jimmy King’s wife, Sadie.
His next conquest was student and barmaid Jasmine Thomas. Cain ruthlessly bedded her to try and get back at daughter Debbie.
Maisie Wylde was the next local lass to fall for Cain’s charms. He then finally got his wicked way with ice queen Faye Lamb.
When Charity chucked him for Jai Sharma in 2010, Cain went on the rebound and slept with teenager Amy Wyatt. This resulted in her falling pregnant with their son, Kyle.
Cain then briefly dated Priya Kotecha, but things fizzled out between them.
Then came the affair, which turned into the greatest love of Cain’s life…

The taming of Cain Dingle in Emmerdale
In 2011, Cain embarked on a torrid affair with Moira Barton, who was up until that point happily married to farmer husband John.
After John’s death in 2012, the lovers resumed their relationship. Cain proposed in October 2013.
The couple got married the following year, but old habits die hard and Cain was back in Charity’s bed by 2016.
Moira forgave Cain’s affair, but this Dingle is a repeat offender – and was soon having it away with the village vicar, Harriet Finch.
After that fling ended badly, Cain found his way back to his wife and the couple even survived Moira’s scandalous affair with Nate Robinson – who turned out to be Cain’s long-lost son.
Their marriage hit a bump again recently when Moira began behaving strangely. But though Cain was unsupportive at first, when Moira was diagnosed with a brain tumour, he was devastated and he’s been by her side ever since.

Cain’s brushes with death
Cain might as well be called the terminator of Emmerdale, he’s escaped death that many times!
In December 2011, one of Emmerdale’s biggest whodunits was launched when Cain was attacked and left for dead by one of his many enemies. The storyline, dubbed ‘Judgement Day’, saw Cain end up in coma.
It was eventually revealed that Cain’s own dad, Zak, was the culprit. Cain went on to make a full recovery. Zak later had a mental breakdown as a result of his actions.
Another near-death moment came when Moira’s son Adam Barton set fire to Cain’s garage with him inside. It was payback for him destroying his parent’s marriage – but Cain lived to tell the tale.
More near misses!
Cain was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in 2014. He almost drowned in a freezing cold river after ignoring doctor’s advice to have it operated on.
He also survived a huge explosion on a boat after trying get his revenge on Nate for sleeping with Moira.
Most recently he had a to-the-death fight with nephew Aaron Dingle. Cain almost had the upper-hand, but Aaron dealt a devastating final blow that landed Cain in hospital with a brain injury. He survived, however, and checked himself out against doctor’s orders the next day.
AND he even braved the raging barn fire back in September, to rescue Moira.

Saving Kyle
Cain might have made a lot of mistakes in life, but he’s proved himself to be a decent dad. Daughter Debbie and son Nate grew up estranged from Cain, but he’s since rebuilt a relationship with them.
His young son Kyle Winchester was also adopted and was brought up by his adoptive grandmother Joanie Wright until her death. Cain at first did not want anything to do with his son, but after much coaxing from his family, he finally took custody of him in 2018.
Although bonding has not been straightforward, Cain committed the ultimate sacrifice in 2022. He took the fall for Kyle over the shooting of Al Chapman. Kyle had witnessed his dad and Al in a fight and pulled the trigger to stop Al killing his Cain.
Cain served time in prison for murder, but Kyle later confessed it was him. Despite Moira, Amy and Cain all insisting Kyle kept quiet and Cain was to take the rap, it didn’t happen and Cain was released.

Who plays Cain Dingle and who’s he married to in real life?
Cain Dingle in Emmerdale is played by British actor Jeff Hordley. He was born on March 7, 1970 and raised in Oldham, Manchester.
Jeff attended North Chadderton Comprehensive before graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University School of Theatre with a BA (Hons) degree in Theatre Acting.
His first TV appearance was in an episode of the kids’ hospital drama, Children’s Ward.
Emmerdale isn’t Jeff’s first Soapland rodeo either. The actor has starred in two episodes of Coronation Street. He played a nightclub manager in 1997, then a character called Wayne the year after.
In real-life, Jeff is happily married to his Emmerdale co-star Zoe Henry, who plays vet Rhona Goskirk.
The couple have been together for 30 years after meeting when they were students at the same drama school. They have two teenage children – daughter Violet and son Stan.
Jeff has a side-line career as a DJ. He’s also a very keen gardener, growing his own produce on the family allotment.
Is Cain Dingle leaving Emmerdale?
Right now, there’s concern from fans of both Emmerdale and ITV stablemate Coronation Street about characters leaving the soaps – due, in part, to the announcement of multiple exits from the network favourites.
Jeff Hordley has previously said about his future on the show: “I worry all the time! …Not all the time, that’s a little over the top.
“Every time there’s news of this [exits] it can settle us as a cast because we know the shelf life of characters in not forever on soaps, and it’s down to the producers and writers to steer the ship and take us in the direction they want to take us.”
Emmerdale without Cain seems unimaginable, and there’s all the fallout from his affair with Ruby and his part in covering up Anthony’s murder on screen right now, so we can’t see him going any time soon – thankfully!
Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm.
Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.

Viewers rejoiced as Moira and Cain finally decided to get back together in last night’s episode of Emmerdale. But while they may have happiness now, some fear another huge blow is around the corner. And it’s to do with Nate’s murderer.
After a conversation with Ruby of all people, Moira decided she wanted her marriage to Cain to work. And she told him exactly that, while also using a chicken burger analogy. It took Cain a minute to realise what she was saying, but when he did, the pair kissed and made up.
Fans were immediately thrilled that their break-up wasn’t going to last long, and that they are putting things right between them. But one commented that the quick make-up may actually be pointing towards a more sinister turn. As Nate’s body is bound to be discovered soon. And perhaps Moira had more to do with that then anyone knows.

Moira and Cain reunite, but did she kill Nate in Emmerdale?
Nate’s body is sinking under the lake after the huge limo crash reveal. Poor Amy was trapped under the ice alongside him. But she made sure to use her last words to warn Matty that he was under there – although he didn’t get what she was saying.
A few episodes later we saw a figure wearing a black hoodie stood beside the lake as police cleared the scene. Since then there have been numerous theories on who the hooded figure was, but Caleb and John seem to be the most common. However, after Moira’s outfit choice last night, some fear that it may have been her. And it’s not like she didn’t have motive or opportunity.
Taking to a reddit thread, one user commented: “I’m not going to lie, when I saw the episode I noticed Moira was wearing a black hoodie and my heart sank. All I can think about is that Emmerdale are going to pull a ‘Can you forgive the woman who killed your son and forgot about it’ storyline with them. I really hope it’s anyone else. John or Ella. Or even Bob – just not Moira.”
Did Moira kill Nate? (Credit: ITV)
Was it possible?
Could she have done it? While it seems a bit extreme for Moira to have killed her son-in-law, at the time of Nate’s exit she was having a lot of memory issues.
Moira was unaware of her brain tumour, and was living a very reckless life. She even got Ruby in the barn and set fire to it to try and kill her because she was hallucinating Emma Barton.
And everyone had just accused her and Nate of re-starting their affair. Admittedly that means a lot of people were angry at Nate, but in Moira’s mind-set back then, she may have wanted to prove that there was nothing going on.
If she did kill her husband’s son, perhaps she completely forgot about it and someone else covered it up? Or when she remembered did she panic and cover her own tracks.. she wasn’t in a good place back then.
Either way, it remains to be seen if Moira did kill Nate. But we would hope that Emmerdale lets her and Cain have a little bit of happiness sometime soon – they deserve it.

Moira and Cain Dingle decided to give their marriage another go in Emmerdale on Tuesday March 4. These second thoughts came as she was spurred on by a pep talk from Ruby and some good news about her recovery.
Things were looking dicey for a while there, with Cain having spent the night on the Woolpack sofa after his marriage ended. But, with Moira deciding to give him a second chance, is it all smooth sailing from here on?
Elsewhere, Marlon was horrified when Dylan paid April a visit.
And, as Jacob planned Leyla’s funeral, Liam worried about his well-being. Meanwhile, Dawn flirted with Joe, who headed off to a mystery appointment.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Tuesday March 4.
Moira had some good news for once (Credit: ITV)
Moira got the all-clear in Emmerdale
As Moira anxiously awaited news in hospital, Liam paid Cain a visit (at the Woolpack, where he’d slept on the sofa) to check on his pal. He invited Cain for a stroll over to the allotment, but he was in no mood. Liam soon put his foot in it, telling him that Moira was at a hospital appointment (so much for doctor-patient confidentiality).
The doctor had good news for Moira, who learned that the scans had all come up clear. She swung around to tell Cain the good news – before informing him she wanted to share the bad news of her break-up with Kyle and Isaac.
In a mood, he stomped off to the garage – but not before she reminded him that it was all her fault. As Moira enjoyed a drink at the bar, she shared a tense interaction with Ruby. It was then that she revealed both the good news and the bad news – her treatment was over, but so was her marriage.

Moira and Cain rekindled their marriage
Taking her back to the Miligan household, Ruby tried to talk Moira out of ending things with Cain. She issued her a reminder of the whole Nate affair, telling her that their marriage deserved another chance.
Later, Cain and Moira swapped notes over how they should break it to the kids. Softening, Moira apologised for not telling him about the appointment. Fuming that she’d gone alone, he offered to be there for future appointments, and told her he still wanted them to be friends.
Settling down on the sofa, Moira told Cain about her conversation with Ruby. Confusing Cain with talk of chicken burgers (there’s four in every packet) she revealed that she’d had second thoughts – and wanted to give their marriage another chance.
Rejecting his promise to make it all up to her (“none of that – let’s just make it work”), Mora showed Cain that the affair really was water under the bridge with a passionate kiss. And, just like that, Emmerdale’s favourite couple are back on solid ground.
Now, let’s forget the whole Ruby thing ever happened please.
Dylan paid April a visit (Credit: ITV)
Dylan arrived in the village
Normality seemed to have resumed in the Dingle household as April pottered on with homework while Marlon filled Paddy in on her visit to Leeds yesterday. Marlon continued to stress over everything that had happened, plus the stress of her missing school work for good measure.
As he walked through the village, Ross spotted Dylan lurking around Marlon’s home – and wrestled him to the ground. Coming out to investigate the fuss, Marlon was horrified to see Dylan again.
April revealed that she’d invited Dylan to town. As April invited him inside, Ross only added to Marlon’s worries by pointing out that he was ‘clearly off his face’ on something.
As they shared a sandwich and a cuppa, Dylan worried that he didn’t belong in a village like Emmerdale. Taking April aside, Marlon remained convinced that Dylan was a wrong ‘un. As she leapt to his defense, re-iterating her responsibility for Becca’s death, Dylan returned, reassuring her she had nothing to feel guilty over.
Relenting, Marlon promised to talk to Rhona about lending Dylan their sofa for the night. Over at the Woolpack, Marlon was chided by Ross and Paddy, both of whom felt deeply mistrusting of the newcomer – and shared some more anti-homeless rhetoric.

Liam worried about Jacob
Jacob planned Leyla’s send off. Collaring Liam in the pub, he passed on a note from Leyla which contained her funeral plans – asking Liam to read a eulogy. Although they reasoned she’d probably written it when they were still together, Liam agreed.
He was shocked to learn that Jacob planned on returning to work, and tried to talk him into taking more time off.
Dawn flirted with Joe
At The Woolpack, Dawn enjoyed a flirty (or dirty) text from Joe. A conversation with Moira had her rethinking the important things in life – but not enough to call off the affair. Meanwhile, Joe was headed off to a mystery appointment with his mystery doctor.

In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 3), Moira Dingle told husband Cain to move out of the house, but is it really over for the couple?
Last year, while Moira was undergoing an operation to remove a brain tumour, Cain took comfort in sister-in-law Ruby and they slept together.
The truth about the fling was revealed last month. While Caleb and Ruby have managed to move on, it’s been more of a struggle for Cain and Moira. Will they be able to get through it?

Moira tells Cain it’s over
In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, Mack was ill, leaving Moira to rely on Cain Dingle to take her to her hospital appointment.
While waiting at the hospital, Cain tried to talk to Moira again and insisted he wouldn’t stop trying to win her back.
Moira sadly told Cain: “The part I can’t get past is you made me hate myself, hate my body for not working. And look at me now. I’m dependent on the man who betrayed me when I needed him the most.”
Cain insisted they could fix it, telling her: “It’s us.” Moira promptly said: “Not any more, Cain.”
As Cain pleaded with Moira and told her he’d do anything, Moira informed him she wanted him to move out because ‘it’s over.’
Cain was of course desperate for this not to be the case, and while Moira said she knew he was sorry and that he loved her, she also said that sometimes love just isn’t enough.
Back home, Cain begged Moira to ask him to stay. She couldn’t do that and took herself to the bedroom, where she broke down in tears on the bed.

The pair share so much history and fans have taken them to their hearts, so it would be a massive decision to split them up, not to mention an incredibly unpopular one.
But there is good news for fans. Previously speaking at a press event, Natalie J Robb, who plays Moira, hinted that the long-term future for Cain and Moira looks promising.
“I think it is really important that they stay together,” she said. “Marriages go through things. There is temptation. There are things that can happen. If everybody just gave up after the first hurdle of marriage, people would just not get married now. It’s so easy to get out now.”
Natalie continued: “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.”

3. Marlon lashes out
When he realises where April has gone, Marlon rushes in and jumps to conclusions when he spots April and Dylan together. This only makes the situation worse as April explains Marlon will never understand what she went through.
However, Marlon’s attitude changes slightly when Dylan tries to encourage April to go back home with her dad. And when he agrees to give her more space, April seems to soften with him.
Is this the beginning of their relationship getting back on track? And will we see Dylan again?

Cain has been trying to put his marriage right with Moira ever since she found out he cheated on her with Ruby.
