Jeff Hordley has spoken candidly about his future in Emmerdale after the announcement he is being replaced as Cain Dingle for a one-off special.
Jeff Hordley, 52, has played Emmerdale fan favourite since 2000 and has an army of fans. Over the festive period, coinciding with the arrival of Will Ash, 45, playing Cain Dingle’s long-lost brother, the soap’s boss Jane Hudson has announced plans for a special episode of the soap.
Jane explained: “Poor Cain is still in prison. He will get a visit from his brother on Christmas Day called Caleb - played by Will Ash. I last worked with Will about 14-years-ago when I produced Waterloo Road so when our casting director suggested Will for Caleb I was absolutely transfixed. He’s absolutely brilliant and I think the viewers will fall in love with him.
