Emmerdale viewers praise 'young Cain and Chas' as flashback twist revealed

Emmerdale viewers praised "young Cain and Chas" actors as the truth about their secret brother was revealed in a flashback twist.

Last night viewers were introduced to Caleb Milligan who decided to pay his brother Cain a visit in prison. Cain warned him to stay away from his family, but Caleb has other plans.

Cain has known about Caleb but decided to keep his existence a secret from Chas for 30 years. During tonight’s episode of the ITV soap Caleb decided to go to the village and finally meet his sister.

Knowing that Caleb will tell Chas the truth, Cain decided to tell his wife Moira everything when she visited him in prison, before she found out from someone else.

Meanwhile things were tense between Caleb and Chas as they tried to get to know each other. Chas wasn’t fully convinced at first so Caleb showed her his birth certificate to prove that Faith had given birth to him when she was in jail.

Viewers were then given an insight into Caleb’s upbringing as well as a glimpse of young Cain and Chas with a series of flashback sences.

In the flashback scene we saw how young Caleb approached young Cain at the garage he was working in. Caleb explained that he was his brother however Cain decided to lie that their mum Faith had already died.

We later saw how Cain and teenage Chas were living together in a flat after they managed to get away from their violent dad.

After spending a few days bonding with Caleb Cain was on the verge of introducing him to Chas however the plan fell through as he discovered that she became pregnant with son Aaron.

Chas’s pregnancy seemed to damage his relationship with Caleb as he later told him never come near him or try to meet Chas ever again.

Things got worse as young Caleb then decided to steal a car from Cain’s garage however as Cain jumped inside the car, the police stopped the pair.

Cain ordered Caleb to leave and said he would take the blame but told him that he must never show his face again. Young Cain was forced to go to jail after taking the blame.
