Emmerdale fans praise actor during 'amazing' episode as truth of Al’s death unfolds in flashback twist

Emmerdale’s child actor Kyle stole the show as the truth about Al Chapman's murder was finally revealed. Last week Cain discovered his sister Chas was having an affair with Al Chapman.

Cain confronted his sister's lover, which resulted in Al getting shot. It was understood that Cain was to blame as he pleaded guilty to Al’s murder and is currently facing a life sentence for the murder.

However it was revealed that Cain was innocent and it was in fact his 10-year-old son, Kyle who killed Al. During tonight’s episode of the ITV soap Cain dropped the devastating news to wife Moira while she was visiting him in jail.

Viewers got to see the moment Kyle pulled the trigger in some flashback scenes. Moira was in disbelief and broke down in tears but Cain insisted that he was doing what was necessary to protect his son.

The flashback scenes saw Kyle follow dad Cain to the barn, where Cain and Al came to blow over Chas' affair. Kyle could then be seen picking up the shotgun that Cain had threatened Al with, shouting: "Get away from my dad."

Cain and Al tried to get Kyle to put down the gun, but as Al moved towards Kyle to grab the gun, the young boy shot him. Cain realised Al was dead and ordered his son to wait outside.

Trying to protect his son, Cain told Kyle to go back to the house and stay strong after Kerry found him standing by Al’s body.

Back in prison, Cain told Moira that she needs to forget about him as he could be facing a life sentence. Moira refused and said she would never give up on him. Before she left, Cain asked her to keep Kyle safe and promised her to keep quiet about who killed Al.

Viewers were impressed with the emotional episode however it was 10-year-old Kyle who stole the show as they praised the youngster for his “outstanding" performance.
