Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley: Cain will 'do what he needs to' over Tom abuse

Belle is missing in Emmerdale, but Cain and Charity are hot on their tails and Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, has revealed Cain will stop at nothing to protect his sister.

And it seems she really does need his help when he and Charity arrive at the holiday cottage where Belle and Tom have gone on holiday to find the place trashed, blood on the walls and absolutely no sign of Belle or Tom. Where are they? And how will Cain deal with this situation?

So what has happened to Belle in Emmerdale?

Spoilers for next week’s Emmerdale have revealed that Charity and Cain are very worried for Belle’s safety. And we all know they are definitely right to be!

Charity makes a discovery that Belle has missed some of her mental health appointments. With the other Dingle women thinking Charity is overreacting after the other week’s drama, she decides Cain is her best bet at being believed. Confiding in him Tom reminds her of Bails, that’s enough to make Cain sit up and take notice.

Together they break into Belle and Tom’s house. They find his surveillance equipment and her phone hidden in a drawer. Really worried now, Tom’s budget book throws up a lead to a remote Welsh cottage. So off Charity and Cain head.

It isn’t long before they’re in Wales, at the cottage. But what greets them is not a pretty sight: a trashed cottage with blood on the walls. And no sign of Belle or Tom.

Jeff Hordley hints ‘old Cain’ could be on his way back to Emmerdale – and it’s about time!

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media recently, Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley has hinted that Cain’s violent side may make an appearance as he seeks to protect Belle from Tom.

The star teased: “Well, [Belle’s] his little sister. I think if somebody hurt his little sister in particular, there’s no saying what Cain would do.”

He then added: “He’ll do what he needs to do to be able to make things right,” when it comes to protecting Belle from Tom.

It’s fair to say Tom has really underestimated the Dingles if he thinks he can take them on and win. But does he realise quite what he’s let himself in for? Once Belle is found and the truth is out, we would not like to be in Tom’s shoes at all.
