Emmerdale is set to reveal the true circumstances of Al’s death in a special flashback episode, which sees Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) help son Kyle after he killed the businessman.

At the end of a dramatic week, which saw Al’s brutal exit, jailed Cain told wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) that Kyle is the true killer.

Cain has been charged with the crime as he has decided to take the fall, in order to save the 10-year-old.

But Kyle is understandably traumatised, something which Moira wanted him to see a doctor or counsellor for.

It was this prospect that prompted Cain to confide the truth in his wife, while back in the village, Kyle’s mum Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) is about to learn what Kyle did.

As Cain explains what happened to an aghast Moira, she tells him that the truth is worse than the lie.

Scenes set back on the fateful day show how Al was killed, and Cain’s attempt to take control, insisting that Kyle keeps the truth hidden.

As Moira reels, Cain argues he was doing what was necessary to protect his son. He watches as the woman he loves struggles and feels helpless as Moira struggles to keep it together.

He is left uncertain whether he will be able to count on his wife to keep this massive secret.

‘Moira is shocked to the core by Cain’s confession,’ actress Natalie revealed. ‘I think deep down she knew something wasn’t quite right but she had no idea that Kyle had been involved in the shooting.’

The story is set to span a long period of time as lives are thrown into chaos. Moira is stuck in the middle, no idea what the right thing is to do.

‘I think the audience will really sympathise with Moira’s dilemma,’ Natalie reflects.

‘She will do everything she can to keep her family together, Kyle may not be hers by blood but she sees him as her own. She has a lot of extremely difficult decisions to make.

‘This is a fascinating story to play as there are so many twists and turns that will cause a ripple effect to other characters in the village that are not yet aware of the true circumstances. 

‘Moira, as a mother and a wife, has such a turbulent time ahead which is great as an actress to get stuck into.’
