Moira Dingle’s (Natalie J Robb) has hit the end of the road with the farm in Emmerdale, having lost her biggest customer and the appeal against the fine.

What she could do with is the unconditional support of her husband, but Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is hiding a huge secret that he could have helped save Butlers.

Perhaps it’s because Cain has thrown himself into the surrogacy saga to block out the pain of losing Nate (Jurell Carter), but all it’s done is make him forget his own immediate family.

Things have not gone smoothly with the surrogacy – with Charity (Emma Atkins) trying to get pregnant with granddaughter Sarah’s (Katie Hill) baby. Charity’s husband Mack (Lawrence Robb) has only just got on board, but a fall in the woods after the implantation of the embryo saw the dream begin to slip through everyone’s fingers when Charity found she was bleeding afterwards.

Now they need another embryo transfer to try again, but the cost is astronomical. But who should come through for Sarah with a secret stash of cash? Cain, of course.

He has a chunk of money that Moira isn’t aware of and wants Sarah to have it for her next attempt.

So, while Moira has been battling to keep a roof over her family’s head, Cain has been sitting on the pot of cash that could have saved them. With all the lies he’s told Moira in recent years, this will not go down well.

Well, however morally wrong, Cain’s financial injection into the baby making project does the trick – Charity is confirmed pregnant with Sarah’s baby.

It could change everything

She and Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) are over the moon and can’t want to tell the world, announcing it in the Woolpack. But Charity is not feeling so excited, she just feels stressed.

Cain should be feeling stressed too.

One miss-placed ‘thanks for the money Grumpy’ and Cain could find himself at the bottom of the lake at the hands of Moira. How will he keep it a secret?
