The Dingle clan were after Craig upon the confirmation that he had raped Lydia Dingle.

Sam ended up attacking Craig who was left stumbling around Home Farm's grounds.

Kim Tate, who was sat atop Ice, came across Craig and gave him a piece of her mind after his hideous crime.

Eventually, as Craig got in the way of Ice, the horse kicked out and murdered him.

As Kim decided she should call the ambulance, Cain Dingle arrived and pleaded with her to let Craig bleed out.

The rivals put aside their differences for the first time ever as they both had Lydia's best interests at heart.

In an Emmerdale first, the two village villains worked together to cover up the truth of their involvement in Craig's death.

Now, fans think that the pair could grow even closer and spark up a passionate affair in the Dales.

Cain is in a long-term marriage with Moira while Kim recently celebrated her one-year anniversary to Will Taylor.

Taking to X - formerly Twitter - fans speculated about what could be yet to come for the potential lovebirds.

One fan said: "I have the feeling it will be Kim & Cain that has the affair."

Another added: "Kim is attracted to Cain and tried to get him to sleep with her a few years ago. Will the writers revisit this? Cain & Kim affair before year is over?"

A third penned: "Why do I feel like the affair storyline that’s coming up of a ‘married couple’ is going to be Will and Kim." 

Emmerdale bosses previously confirmed an affair storyline was in the works however it seems that Tracy Metcalfe has taken that crown after a surprise snog with her hubby Nate's uncle Caleb.
