'Emmerdale' star Jeff Hordley thrilled over Cain whodunit

Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley has praised the soap's upcoming Cain Dingle whodunit, hailing it as his best storyline yet.

Show bosses recently announced that Cain will be brutally attacked and left for dead next month when one of his many enemies decides to take the ultimate revenge.

John and Moira Barton, Charity Tate, Jai Sharma, Amy Wyatt and Zak Dingle have been named as the main six characters who will be suspects in the case.

Hordley told All About Soap of the storyline: "This is the whole reason I want to be in Emmerdale. I've had some great stories in the past, but this feels like the biggest and most special yet. I just hope that Cain survives."

The actor continued: "He's burnt all his bridges with his loved ones. Debbie's found out that he's the father of Amy's baby, and she's so disgusted with him that she throws him out of the house. There's no shortage of villagers who are baying for Cain's blood."

Hordley also revealed that Cain may show some remorse over his treatment of Amy (Chelsea Halfpenny) in the build-up to his attack. The troubled teen gives birth to Cain's baby in next week's episodes.

"I think that [when] Amy has given birth, we'll start to see a flicker of regret from Cain over his baby boy," he said. "Maybe he really does have a heart after all!"
