Emmerdale fans were taken aback by a warning as they settled in to watch Tuesday's instalment of the long-running soap.
This week's first episode, on Monday, showed Cain and his sister Chas Dingle as children in a dramatic flashback. Chas was also introduced to her brother Caleb Milligan who made it clear he was full of remorse over Cain.
Later, Cain admitted to his partner Moira Barton he had a long-lost brother who had visited him in prison. He explained Caleb had written him letters in prison when he found out their mother Faith Dingle had died.

After some explosive revelations, many fans will have been eager to see what happens next.
But before tonight's episode got underway, an ITV announced said: "Chas questions Cain, Greg threatens to ruin Ethan's reputation, and Nicola worries for her sister.
"With strong language expected, here's Emmerdale".
As Emmerdale airs pre-watershed, under Ofcom rules it cannot show any "material unsuitable for children". These rules are in place "in general" between 9pm and 5.30am.
The language warning left many fans shocked. Taking to Twitter, Liz said: "Strong language? It's half 7", while Katrina said: "Strong language warning. Dear, oh dear". Darren said: "I wonder if it'll be 'b****'".
