But fans are annoyed that Ruby and Cain’s affair is still looming over important Emmerdale storylines. When Moira was in brain surgery, Cain made the awful decision to sleep with Ruby – his brother’s wife. And since then, the guilt has been eating away at him. But with such important storylines at play in the show, fans are struggling to move on from Cain and Ruby’s one night stand.

Cain is trying to support Moira through her radiotherapy. And Ruby’s childhood abuse by her father has just been revealed. So exactly what was the point in having their one night stand simmer in the background of two really important storylines? It seems fans still struggle to look at Cain and Moira in the same way since the whole thing happened. But that being said, they also hope it never comes out. As it would ruin so many things in the show. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers In last night’s episode (January 16) Caleb sought comfort in his brother when he found out he wasn’t Steph’s dad. But while Cain hugged him (bold move for Cain!), he kept trying to persuade Caleb to forgive Ruby. Because he knows he did the exact same thing. Taking on a Reddit thread, fans discussed their desire for the soap to simply move on from the whole incident. One wrote: “Making Cain and Ruby sleep together was so stupid and random. What purpose did it even serve? It didn’t even lead anywhere. If Ruby confided in Cain then I would get it more. But it just seems like a lazy plot. I hope they manage to keep it secret forever.” Emmerdale fans demand Ruby and Cain’s secret remains hidden (Credit: ITV) Fans want the show to move on from the storyline Another fan agreed, adding: “I hope it’s one of those rare soap secrets that never gets revealed. They should just never mention it again. In time we can pretend the whole thing never happened.” A third simply commented: “Definitely a stupid plot line.” “It was just so unforgivable for him to do too,” another angry fan wrote. It seems fans are all in agreement that if this secret never comes out, then we would not be bothered at all. We’re all already trying to pretend it never happened! Cain looks set to get more involved in Emmerdale’s Ruby’s storyline next week. A brand new trailer showed him and Caleb looking guilty while holding a gun.
