Emmerdale fans were completely shocked by it Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley)’s behavior in a recent episode. While his beloved wife Moira (Natalie J. Robb) was undergo brain surgeryCain had a moment of madness and ended up sleeping with his sister-in-law, Ruby Fox Miligan (Bets Cordingly).

“He feels terribly guilty about what he did and the way he did it,” Jeff Hordley told us. “The day she was in the hospital for surgery, he went and slept with his sister-in-lawwhich is just the worst. He knows that if that comes out, no one will sympathize with it, no one.”

The betrayal came as Cain struggled with his worries about what might happen to Moira and how he would cope if the worst happened.

Meanwhile, Ruby struggled with the emotional turmoil of her daughter Steph (Georgia Jay) and her father Anthony (Nicholas Day) comes back into her life in quick succession.

Once the deed was done, both parties felt immense guilt about what had happened.

“It’s kind of like one of those moments in a sitcom or movie, where two people wake up in bed the next morning and say, ‘Oh sh*t, what the hell did we do?’ ‘ Jeff explained.

‘For them it’s actually quite instantaneous: as soon as they have sex, they agree that it was a mistake and that they can never say anything to anyone about it. It happened because they were both in such a bad situation, but they know that’s not nearly a good enough excuse.”

In the coming episodes, Cain spirals. While Moira is at the hospital preparing to receive the pathology results that will tell her if she needs any more treatment, her husband goes missing.

Jeff told us what happens when Cain abandons his wife again.

‘He’s at the garage and Dr. Liam (Jonny McPherson) comes by, who knows, maybe Moira has an appointment at the hospital. He reminds him that it’s an important appointment and he wonders why he didn’t go with his wife?

“So he’s talking around with Cain, and he knows he needs to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Jai (Chris Bisson)’s car is blocking the forecourt of the garage, so he simply pushes the car aside to get to the hospital. Jai, of course, reports this to PC Swirling (Andy Moore), and Swirling intercepts him on the way to the hospital.

‘Cain says, ‘I have to go to the hospital now,’ and tries to explain. Swirling knows the situation, but he has no compassion. He has to take him to the station, so he does, and he stays in the cell overnight, which means he misses the appointment with Moira.’

Moira and Cain’s marriage has endured a lot of pressure over the years, including her affair with Cain’s son Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).

But this betrayal, which takes place at the most vulnerable moment of Moira’s life, will be very difficult to repair when the truth comes to light. Furthermore, Cain also risks the loss of his brother Caleb Miligan (William As) when he finds out that Cain has been sleeping with his wife.

Jeff is afraid this could spell the end of Cain and Moira.

“The danger of this situation is enormous,” he warned.

‘His wife is not the forgiving type. She often reacts similarly to Cain in these situations. She is volatile. And likewise, he doesn’t want to jeopardize anything with his brother, because they are more or less on balance again.

“I think deep down he really likes his brother and they’re starting to have a good relationship. So it’s immediately guilt and shame and thinking, “Oh, good lord, what have we done?”

Despite the enormous risk, there is a part of Cain that wants to be honest and tell Moira honestly what happened. Jeff told us that Cain is bracing himself to tell the truth.

‘There’s a moment when Liam has brought him home from the allotment and he’s drunk, where he’s about to confess – but can he go through with it?’

And if he does, how will Moira react?
