Emmerdale spoilers: Beloved character makes shock return – leaving Cain Dingle reeling
THROWN behind bars after pleading guilty to Al Chapman’s murder, Cain Dingle is isolated from his loved ones.
But one familiar face from his past gets in touch with him, leaving the character reeling next week in Emmerdale.
After three years of feuding, Cain and Al confronted one another for the last time in a barn.
A fight erupted and ultimately led to the businessman’s death once he was shot by an eleven-year-old Kyle Winchester.
The Dales tough man played by Jeff Hordley has since decided to protect his young son and take the fall for Al’s murder.
While he remains in prison, his wife Moira and Amy Wyatt are both making sure Kyle keeps quiet while trying to bring him back to a normal life.
Meanwhile, in his prison cell, an officer hands Cain some letters from somebody who has been writing to him frequently during his incarceration.
But Cain is disinterested and, once the prison officer is out of sight, he rips the letter up.
The mysterious individual may have found another way to get through to him.
When Moira (Natalie J. Robb) pays him a visit, telling him Isaac and Kyle received two Christmas presents from an unknown person, Cain hides his concern.
She then informs him that she has left his mother Faith’s Christmas card with the guard.
However, Cain later ignores it when it’s handed to him, not ready for its contents.
Instead, he asks for a phone call before being left on edge when the guard tells him he’ll see what he can do.
As ITV viewers know, Faith died in Cain’s arms in October, 2022, after refusing to let her cancer take over her entire life.
