The great mystery of the arsonist is the current whodunnit on Emmerdale, with Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle at their wits’ end as they attempt to discover who has been starting fires on the farm.<\/p>\n

With several figures, ranging from Ross Barton to Cain Dingle, in the frame, viewers took a punt earlier this week and suggested that Kyle Winchester was the one responsible<\/a> after he appeared sheepish around Cain and Moira.<\/p>\n

Fans are now even more convinced that Kyle, the son of Cain, is the guilty party, with several eagle-eyed viewers spotting a potential blunder in the credits following today’s instalment<\/a> of the ITV soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The episode began with the hooded figure preparing for another act of arson, before the scene flicked to Olivia Bromley’s Dawn Fletcher. The credits, which are done in order of appearance, had Bromley behind Huey Quinn, who plays Kyle.<\/p>\n

This is despite Kyle not openly appearing in the episode, with several fans now believing the listing is further proof that he is the hooded figure. Taking to social media, several lamented the potential blunder.<\/p>\n

“Howling at Emmerdale exposing who the fire starter is before they were supposed to,” wrote one fan on X<\/a>, before they added: “It looks like they\u2019ve shot themselves in the foot and revealed it too early.”<\/p>\n

“Why would you put Kyle’s name on the cast list\u2026.Thanks for spoiling it for us Emmerdale,” wrote another disappointed fan<\/a>, while a third noted<\/a>: “It’s so obvious with the soap camera angles when they ask who it is and they literally pan over all the time, but it is hilarious.”<\/p>\n

One viewer, however, suggested it could be a red herring, writing<\/a>: “When I said on Monday it could be Kyle because of that shady look on this but then I said ‘I think it could be too obvious.’ Based on today’s credits it seems ED wanted to make it obvious.”<\/p>\n

While some evidence is pointing towards Kyle, the end of today’s episode saw Ross Barton and Sam Dingle come into the fray after Kev Townsend was ruled out<\/a>, with Robert and Aaron spotting the pair joking around with a lighter.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
