Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle is set to receive a troubling diagnosis next week, following his recent medical tests. The mechanic will be told that he has prostate cancer, leaving him completely overwhelmed as he flees the consultation.

A special episode will showcase Cain’s perspective and inner thoughts, while he struggles to process the difficult news. The character predictably lashes out at his loved ones before isolating himself from everyone.

 

 

“We want to tell the story of a man who doesn’t normally talk about his feelings – I think that’s probably why they chose my character for this particular story,” Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, told Digital Spy and other media.

“We see him through the journey of a day, including going to the hospital to get the news from the doctor… It’s just a really lovely episode. You get to see somebody dealing with this, and wanting to work it all out and how they’re going to deal with it.”

The star, who debuted on the ITV soap in 2000, also teased that there would be a “different side” to Cain, which will be revealed as he begins to talk about his feelings with different characters.

“That’s what’s great about this particular story for him – it’s having to see him face challenges and open up to some truth that he never thought he’d have to deal with,” he explained.
