As Cain and Ruby sleep together, furious fans slam move as 'unnecessary and unrealistic'
What has Cain done?Emmerdale has aired unthinkable scenes tonight as Cain Dingle slept with sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan while his wife Moira was having brain surgery.
Viewers around the country – and indeed at Emmerdale Insider – gasped in horror at the shocking twist and it’s fair to say they were not happy at all.
What happened in Emmerdale tonight?
Moira was scared as she waited for the operation to remove her tumour, but Cain was rude and aggressive. Moira sent him away so he didn’t insult all the doctors and nurses while she was under.
He stomped off while Moira was put to sleep and she went into a parallel universe where she was reunited with dead daughter Holly. As Holly tried to persuade Moira to be with her, in the real world, the operation became more complicated.
But not allowing herself to be led off by Holly, Moira chose to stay with her boys, Kyle and Isaac, and survived the operation. Phew!
Meanwhile, we saw what Cain was up to in reverse chronological order. Aside from beating up Jimmy King, he was drinking heavily and not at all coping.
But it was when Ruby arrived at the garage, hiding from her dad, that things got really bad. She and Cain started trading insults then out of nowhere started kissing. There was barely even any sexual tension, it was just anger from both of them.
After sleeping together they both insisted it had never happened and no one could ever find out – which means everyone will find out before too long, this is Emmerdale after all.
Emmerdale fans blast Cain and Ruby cheating decision
So tonight’s episode begs the question: What was Emmerdale thinking? Why on earth would they have Cain do the unthinkable and cheat on Moira when she is so vulnerable?
And just as Ruby is starting to become likeable and have more to her than just her plotting and sharp tongue, she goes and sets herself back. So far back, in fact, she’s almost too far gone.
Fans definitely agree! They felt the soap had hit just the right notes with the first half – and then totally ruined it with the second.
“First half of that episode was brilliant, Natalie is truly phenomenal. The second half of that episode was the biggest [bleep] storm ever to grace our tv screens. Protect Moira at all costs now,” said one on X.
Another addressed the soap directly: “Dear Emmerdale, how can you do something as lovely as the first half of tonight’s episode and then do something as horrible, inexplicable and utterly out of character as in the second? Who thought that was a good idea? Because it wasn’t.”
“I’ve just watched Emmerdale and I legit cannot focus on anything else. What the actual [bleep] have I just watched? What is going on? Who am I? What planet is this?” raged one more.
‘Completely unnecessary’ slam fans
A fourth said: “Completely unnecessary and ruined an otherwise brilliant and emotional episode.”
“Have no words for the second half of tonight’s Emmerdale. Well done EDHQ for ruining such an important story with a pathetic plot device!!!!!” added a fifth.
A sixth wrote: “I am genuinely so mad about tonight’s Emmerdale. So unnecessary and unrealistic. Why have they had to do this in what was such a beautiful episode?”
“It’s such a shame because it was an episode of two halves. A lovely first half with a nice twist and then a horrible second half with a twist that didn’t need to happen whatsoever.”
No one is happy – can Emmerdale ever redeem themselves – and Cain after this?

Jimmy ‘gutted’ to be gone from Strictly
Speaking to Fleur East on tonight’s (October 27) It Takes Two, Jimmy admitted he was quite sad to be leaving.
He said: “Oh, I am gutted. I am really. I was just getting into it. And I just think I had more to give. I think I was getting better and better. I definitely didn’t hit my peak yet.”
Jimmy’s pro-partner Lauren Oakley agreed, explaining: “It’s the name of the game.”
Lauren told Fleur: “Yeah, really gutted. We had the best time in the training room. As a professional, when you can see so much potential in your partner. I had – and still do have – so much belief in him. It is really gutting when you can’t fulfil that potential.”
Fleur then surprised Jimmy with an emotional video from his wife and kids. And the video left him speechless.
When Fleur asked how they enjoyed his experience on the show, Jimmy got emotional and was comforted by Lauren.
He said: “Oh they…I’m getting a bit emotional. They are really happy. They have been so supportive. Obviously, they were very sad after Saturday. But very proud. Yeah, it is family time. It’s bringing everybody together. To see them and to see that message is – I have got no words, sorry.”

He has ‘loved’ his experience
However, after Fleur showed Jimmy and Lauren their best bits, Jimmy wanted to take a moment to praise his partner.
He explained: “I have got no words for it. I knew I would enjoy it because dancing is fun. It brings happiness. But I didn’t know that I was really going to go and want to go back to training.”
Jimmy then turned to compliment Lauren. He said: “I have loved it. This girl, she is so amazing honestly. She is such a character. It couldn’t be any better. Working with you. You are so much more than what is on the tin.
