‘Best episode of Emmerdale ever’ say fans after Cain tells the Dingles of Zak’s death
The scenes were beautifully done
Cain broke the news that Zak Dingle has passed away last night in Emmerdale, and fans have been full of praise.
He told each Dingle individually, breaking the news to them whilst music played over the top of these scenes.
Fans have now hailed Tuesday’s episode (October 15), the ‘best episode of Emmerdale ever’ – and we don’t blame them!
Cain broke the news of Zak death to the Dingles
This week in the Dales, Moira received a phone call from Debbie. She then found out that Zak Dingle had sadly passed away.
Once Cain found out the news, he then made it his job as the new head of the family to tell each Dingle the sad news last night.
First telling Belle and Sam, Cain then continued to make his through the family as he broke the news to each household of the Dingle clan individually.
However, these scenes had music playing over the top which meant that the Dingles’ reactions to the news could only be seen and not heard – a beautiful moment.
The family then came together to support each other as Cain set off in the Dingle van to bring Zak’s body home from Scotland. Sobs.
