Emmerdale fans were convinced Cain Dingle wasn't responsible for Al Chapman's death in scenes aired last week. And during Friday night's trip to the Dales' local prison, the ITV soap's viewers' shock theory was proven to be correct.
Last week Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, learnt of his sister's affair with his former enemy, Al. The pair are no strangers to coming to blows, however, they called a truce earlier this year when Al saved Cain's life following a car accident. But discovering his sister's secret relationship with Al during their mother's wake saw the reformed bad boy's old ways return.
He lured the shady businessman to a barn, with Al thinking he was meeting Chas. He was, however, confronted by Cain with a shotgun. The pair ended up getting into a fight and in a scuffle for the gun, a shot rang out and it was later revealed that it was Al who had been fatally shot, leading to actor Michael Wildman's exit from the soap.
