Death agony triggered as Emmerdale’s Cain takes a violent plunge

Cain Dingle is trapped (Picture: ITV) Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) might have cancer but it could be his pig-headedness that gets him killed. You can’t blame the guy for being in a bit of a funk given that he’s facing a very serious health battle. But being unable to manage his own emotions is driving a wedge between him and his kids. His new obsession with trying to save the Dingle dog Monty will only make the chasm bigger – until it nearly kills him. Monty was caught in the shed fire Kyle (Huey Quinn) started during his pyromaniac phase. In a weird way it was a bit fortuitous he was in there – the smoke inhalation led to the discovered Monty is riddled with cancer. Without that discovery, he might have died suddenly without any goodbyes, which would have been mighty painful for a family who’ve been ripped apart by cancer.

But after Paddy (Dominic Brunt) revealed to the family how poorly Monty is they were left with a decision – prolong his life or let him slip away. It gave Cain pause for thought having initially refused treatment for his own cancer. Wanting to save the dog, he opted for treatment, making him rethink his own. But it also leads Cain down a bit of a dark path – he becomes obsessed with the idea he can save Monty’s life. Cain is gutted at the thought of losing Monty and takes him for a second opinion, believing that if radiotherapy can save him, it can save the pooch. He is so wrapped up in the survival of his furry pal that he again starts to pull away from his son Kyle, who is desperate for his dad’s attention. Kyle tries to talk about his worries about Cadets, but Cain waves him away like a nuisance. Cain storms off after an argument with Kyle (Picture: ITV) Moira tries the softly, softly approach with Cain, clocking that his expectations of saving the dog’s life are way off. But Cain listens to no one until an expert tells him Monty’s tumours are inoperable. This is crushing news for Cain who can’t process it. In a bid to shake off his own thoughts, he takes Kyle camping as a distraction. But Kyle doesn’t want to be alone with his dad and invites an unwanted guest along – Graham (Andrew Scarborough). Cain, unable to contain his own ego, loses his temper and storms off, and thus begins a series of unfortunate, nay, life-threatening, events.
