The year isn't out just yet but the start of 2023 doesn't sound like it's going to be an easy one for some of the Emmerdale residents. The ITV soap's executive producer has teased an 'explosive time for the Dingle's and a big story for teenager Cathy Hope that 'hasn't been seen in a soap before'.
Starting with the Dingles, it's not exactly been a great time for the family with the heartbreaking deaths of Faith and Liv in October and the recent imprisonment of Cain. The latter has been charged with murder after taking the blame for the shooting of former enemy Al Chapman.
As viewers know, and Amy, Moira, Mackenzie and Matty, it was Cain and Amy's son Kyle who was the real culprit. When Cain had discovered Al's affair with his sister Chas, he lured him to the barn and threatened him with a shotgun. When a scuffle broke out, a terrified Kyle tried to protect his dad and picked up the weapon, pointing it at Al.
