Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle sets out to destroy his marriage next week \u2013 as a special two-hander episode sees him lean in for a kiss with his ex-partner Charity. Reeling from his latest hospital appointment<\/a>, and terrified by what his life will look like after surgery, Cain unleashes his fury in a total meltdown. Can Charity convince him that life is still worth living for?<\/p>\n

“Cain wants to wreck his life before things get any worse with his health,” our Emmerdale source explains. “The side effects he could face after his operation would be life-changing \u2013 and Cain’s already lost so much. He can’t bear the thought that his marriage might fall apart\u2026”<\/p>\n

As well as his ongoing battle over the farm, Cain has far more serious matters to worry about when he arrives at the hospital for his pre-op appointment. Sarah Sugden can sense his reluctance, but she encourages him to attend a support group and hear the realities of life after surgery.<\/p>\n

However, when Cain witnesses one patient getting upset over his relationship problems post-diagnosis, he flees the meeting. The village mechanic is struggling with his own worries about Moira \u2013 deep down, he doesn’t believe their marriage can survive this\u2026<\/p>\n

“Cain is terrified the operation will change him too much,” explains our source. “His identity is tied up with his masculine self-image, but both the cancer and losing the farm make him feel like a failure. He can’t imagine Moira looking at him the same way again.”<\/p>\n

Later, Sam makes a simple mistake over the farm machinery which sends Cain raging, and he storms off in a terrible mood. Worried about his bleak mentality and the amount of booze he’s drinking, Charity follows him home and encourages him to offload, as a special two-hander episode begins\u2026<\/p>\n

Feeling cornered and judged, Cain loses his temper and throws a bottle of whiskey, which collides with Zak’s precious ale tankard \u2013 smashing it to pieces. A despairing Charity pushes Cain to open up and he finally breaks down, but ends up trying to seduce her.<\/p>\n

“Charity knows exactly what he’s trying to do,” reveals our spy. “He tells her he’s looking for a distraction and begins reminiscing about the old days and their past romance, before leaning in for a self-destructive smooch\u2026”<\/p>\n

Will Cain come to his senses and realise his marriage can survive any setback? Or will Charity be forced to stop Cain making a huge mistake and find out exactly what’s bothering him?<\/p>\n
