Emmerdale fans were left "screaming" as Cain Dingle was "replaced" during Wednesday evening's episode.
Viewers watched as village vicar Charles Anderson was under suspicion after Alex was involved in a hit and run. Soap fans actually know it was Billy Fletcher who ran his wife's former partner over.
The latest instalment of the soap saw Alex wake from his coma, with Charles being the first person he spoke to as he came around.
