Cain Dingle’s guilty conscience leaves Emmerdale fans tired: ‘Grow up Cain’

Last month in Emmerdale, Cain Dingle cheated on wife Moira with Ruby Fox-Miligan, but fans are tiring of his guilty conscience.

Cain has been avoiding spending time with Moira as he feels guilty over what occurred. Instead, he has been finding various jobs that need doing in order to not spend time alone with his wife.

But fans have had enough and are calling for Cain to “grow up”.

Cain cheats on Moira with Ruby

Last month, Emmerdale aired a special episode which saw Moira interact with her dead daughter Holly Barton while she underwent brain surgery.

The same episode saw Cain’s story told in reverse chronological order. We saw him with bloodied hands while drinking whiskey. As the clock went back further, viewers were shocked when Cain and his sister-in-law Ruby were shown putting their clothes back on.

As the clock went back again, it was revealed that the pair of them had argued, before that blew over into passion.

While both parties are eager to pretend the fling never happened, it’s Cain who is struggling with the guilt the most. He has been making excuses to not see Moira – whether that be picking up the kids or farm duties.

The latest excuse saw Cain pretend he had to pick a car up in Dudley. He then lied that he was stuck there all night.

Emmerdale fans sick of Cain and his guilt

The storyline hasn’t proved popular with fans, who hate that Cain cheated. They are also sick of him feeling sorry for himself.

“Cain’s guilty conscience gets worse,” wrote one fan on X, while another added: “Oh ffs Cain grow the hell up and quit with the poor me guilt. If [you] tell Moira what you did it’s not gonna help her, it’s gonna bloody ruin her.”

“Every cute moment of Cain and Moira makes me want to fire every writer in the room because why did you make him cheat,” a third viewer wrote. Another added: “The guilt is written all over Cain.”

With Cain’s guilt so obvious, it’s surely only a matter of time before Moira learns about Ruby. “The guilt really is getting to Cain now, I don’t think it will be much longer before Moira finds out the truth,” agreed a fan. Another quipped: “I know Moira has a brain injury, but even that wouldn’t stop her from seeing Cain’s guilt.”
