Emmerdale has been applauded by fans as it 'replaced' the icon that is Cain Dingle. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the character, played by Jeff Hordley, is currently banged up in prison after being charged with the murder of Al Chapman.
But as fans also know, Cain isn't actually responsible for his former enemy's death, despite luring him to a barn and threatening him with a shotgun after discovering the shady businessman's affair with his younger sister, Chas. It was actually Cain's son, Kyle, who accidentally pulled the trigger when he rushed in on his dad and Al's nasty confrontation.
And as he spent Christmas behind bars, Cain had an extra special visitor - his long-lost brother, Caleb. The new character, played by Will Ash, had been trying hard to get in touch with his older brother after discovering their mum, Faith, had died. And Cain finally relented but it wasn't a happy family reunion.
