Cain makes big promise to Kyle in emotional Emmerdale scenes

Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) will always be someone who can make Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) feel better in Emmerdale.

Cain has been struggling in the wake of learning his son Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) was killed last year. Instead of spending time simply grieving for Nate and trying to move forward though, he’s faced a tirade of abuse from Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh).

Practically from the very start, Tracy has convinced herself that Cain killed Nate. As a result, she has faced off with him a number of times, with Tracy trying her best to push the theory onto other members of the village.

Because she’s certain that Cain is a murderer, she’s banned him from Nate’s funeral. A couple of days ago, Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) tried to help the situation, but she made it worse and ended up getting the entire Dingle family banned from the event.

Yesterday, Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) helped Cain view the upcoming funeral from a different perspective. He eventually warmed to the idea that the Dingles could organise their own memorial for Nate, and remember him in their own special way.

After discussing this with Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), Cain was touched when she suggested they could also dedicate a corner of a field to Nate as well. That way, after the memorial, people can go and visit the land at any time and reflect on his life.

In this evening’s episode, Kyle arrived at the garage to see his dad. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cain was stressed and had a lot on his mind.

Kyle presented Cain with an envelope full of pictures of Nate. He said that they could pin them up at the memorial and also play his favourite song, which turned out to be one by Steps.

Cain was touched at the effort Kyle had gone to. He admitted to his son that he made a lot of mistakes with Nate, but reassured Kyle and said he won’t make the same ones with him and Isaac (Bobby Dunsmuir).

Cain then hugged Kyle.

He has lost a lot in recent months, and his relationship with Nate will be something Cain feels regret over potentially for the rest of his life, but he knows he has the power to do things differently with Kyle and Isaac.
