Emmerdale has confirmed that Cain Dingle is set to get a blast from the past this Christmas as his long-lost brother makes an appearance. The ITV soap character is currently looking at spending the festive season behind bars after he pleaded guilty to the murder of Al Chapman.
Earlier this month Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, saw red when he discovered his sister Chas was having an affair with former enemy Al during their mother, Faith's, wake. He used Chas' secret phone to lure Al to a barn where he threatened him with a shotgun. The pair broke into fisticuffs and in a scuffle for the gun, a shot rang out.
While the finger of blame was, of course, pointed at Cain it was later revealed that it was Al, played by Michael Wildman, had actually been fatally shot by Cain's son, Kyle. A flashback scene showed the moment the 10-year-old, played by Huey Quinn, shot Al after he picked up the weapon to stop his dad from getting hurt.
