With a shocking murder sending shockwaves around those in the know on Emmerdale, those accountable are desperately trying to keep their secret (and Anthony Fox) buried – but some are suggesting that it should be pinned on Cain Dingle, for his prior treatment of Jasmine, Ollie and Amy.
The soap revealed last night (Thursday, January 30) that it was Ruby who killed Anthony. Finding her father after Aaron had beaten him up, Ruby finished him off, ridding the world of another monster. This, the truth, came out as a guilt-ridden Aaron also confessed to the crime.
He was horrified to learn that Ruby and Caleb had let him believe he’d killed a man. And, as an oblivious Laurel handed herself into the police for attacking Anthony, fingers were pointing in every direction.
What those responsible need is a patsy. And who better to take the fall than Cain Dingle?

Cain should take the rap as ‘justice’ for treatment of Jasmine and Ollie in Classic Emmerdale, fans say
Writing on Reddit in the wake of last night’s episode, one fan put forth their idea for closing out Anthony’s murder… and it would serve as poetic justice for Cain, who has plenty of skeletons in his own closet.
“If it was up to me they would just pin it on Cain after Ruby finds out that he also used to abuse teenage girls. And then he gets sent to prison and the family all live happily ever,” this fan wrote.
Elsewhere, others remembered Cain’s unsavoury history with younger women.
“Having Cain involved in Ruby’s storyline is sickening considering he slept with 15 year old Ollie when he was 26 and got Amy pregnant when she was 16 and he was 36,” another viewer said on X.
“He’s gotten away with too much. I’m not forgetting him sleeping with Amy when she was 16 and then threatening her to get an abortion. Or Jasmine who was barely 18 (to get back at his daughter nonetheless). Dirty behaviour,” said a third.

Cain Dingle – from predator to loving family man
These days, Cain is a (mostly) reformed character, playing devoted father to his children and loving husband to wife Moira. But it was a different story when he first arrived in the village – especially where women were concerned.
When he wasn’t involved in a toxic romance with cousin Charity or scheming Sadie King, Cain is also remembered for his more problematic relationships with a series of younger women. First there was 15-year-old Ollie Reynolds, who Cain bedded in an attempt to get under the skin of her mum, Angie.
Then there was Jasmine Thomas, his daughter’s girlfriend – who fell pregnant with his child after he slept with her to get back at Debbie. After Ollie and Jasmine, Cain then moved on to 16-year-old Amy, who he also made pregnant – but kept the child in spite of his threats.
The soap may have swept Cain’s earlier behaviour under the rug, but many haven’t forgotten. Will the soap ever hold Cain accountable for his grim past?

Classic Emmerdale has us feeling nostalgic for the characters who are no longer on our screen. Here we take a look at who we’d like to see again.
Currently in Classic Emmerdale, Bob is mourning Dawn Woods, who died as a result of Sadie King’s sabotage. While Jasmine Thomas is pregnant after embarking on an affair with Cain Dingle.
But which of these past classic characters must return?
Bring her back! (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Sadie King
Sadie, played by Patsy Kensit, was a firm favourite during her two year stint. She arrived as the wife of Jimmy King, but bored in the marriage she soon started an affair with Robert Sugden.
After being disowned by the King family, Sadie managed to worm her way back in with her scheming ways and she later started a relationship with brother-in-law Matthew.
Recently shown on Classic Emmerdale, Sadie paid Cain Dingle to sabotage the Kings’ Rivers’ Show home development. This resulted in the deaths of Dawn Woods, Noreen Bell and estate agent David Brown.
Sadie’s exit came about when Cain shot her, seemingly killing her… However, it was all staged and Sadie simply left the village.
Steph return, when? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Steph Stokes
Steph was a mainstay in Emmerdale for over 10 years. She was Alan Turner’s daughter and mother to Trisha. Though she had a complex relationship with both.
Steph thought she finally found happiness when she met Adam Forsythe and she revealed to him that she’d been sexually abused as a child by her brother Terence Turner.
Adam ended up killing Terence, but it was Steph, who was arrested and sent to prison for the crime, where she still remains.
Steph, played by Lorraine Chase, remains one of the show’s best villains and would certainly be welcomed back.
Laurel and Jasmine reunion? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Jasmine Thomas
Jasmine was part of Emmerdale for four years. Arriving in 2005, she was the niece of Ashley and had been sent to stay with her uncle by her parents.
Her most memorable storyline was her relationship with Debbie Dingle. Debbie initially kissed Jasmine to get a reaction from her dad, Cain. But the girls soon realised they had genuine feelings for each other.
Recent episodes of Classic Emmerdale saw Cain seduce Jasmine, resulting in Jasmine, played by Jenna Coleman, getting pregnant.
Like Steph, Jasmine left Emmerdale when she was sent to prison. She was jailed after confessing to killing dodgy cop, Shane Doyle.
Bob and TJ should reunite (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
TJ Woods
TJ was only a child when he left Emmerdale. But now that he is 21, it would be interesting to see the man he has turned into.
The son of Dawn and Terry, TJ was caught in a bitter custody battle between the warring parents. Dawn was eventually given sole custody, but after her death, TJ moved in with his father.
TJ became an orphan when he was only 7. His grandfather Bob Hope sent him to live with Dawn’s mum Jean in Morocco. Aside from Brenda visiting him a year later, TJ hasn’t been mentioned since.
TJ still has ties in the village in the form of his grandfather and auntie Cathy, so could slot back in seamlessly.
Another Dingle return? (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Eli Dingle
Joe Gilgun may now be better known as Vinnie O’Neill in hit comedy Brassic. But before that he played the lovable Eli Dingle.
Eli arrived in 2006 as the younger brother of Marlon Dingle. He wasn’t initially welcomed into the family due to his mischievous ways.
He was involved in various storylines including a relationship with cousin Debbie and helping assist Alice’s death.
Before leaving the village following a robbery, Eli had an emotional conversation with Marlon about their childhood. It was later mentioned that he was living in Arbroath. With Marlon’s current troubles, it would be a good time for Eli to return.
And another Dingle… (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock)
Del Dingle
With the Dingles always ever present, Del could easily slot back in. Delilah ‘Del’ Dingle arrived in Emmerdale in 2005. She immediately made an impression as was driving a flashy red sports car while wearing a wedding dress.
Having realised the man she was supposed to marry wasn’t right for her, she instead settled into life in the Dales. Though she continued to be unlucky in love.
Del, played by Hayley Tamaddon, fell for Carl King, only to realise he loved her cousin Chas. She also had a failed relationship with Paddy, before setting her sights on David Metcalfe.
However, when she discovered David had spent the night with Katie, Del conned him of £20,000 and left the village.
