1. Cain’s cancer fight

We have seen Cain find out he is battling aggressive prostate cancer. He needs a radical prostatectomy and that surgery could have serious side-effects including incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Sarah is supporting him, but Cain has failed to tell Moira the truth. As Cain struggles to face up to the future, he has a huge journey ahead of him.

Actor Jeff Hordley told The Mirror: “Everything is falling to pieces and he doesn’t deal with his diagnosis at all well. Cain has never found it easy to talk about his feelings anyway but after learning of his diagnosis, he snaps at everyone.

“He worries that if he tells anyone and with Moira in prison, nobody will be around to look after their children. He is terrified he is going to die.”

Will Cain find the courage to deal with this?

2. ‘Make or break’ for Moira and Cain

As well as Cain facing his own mortality, he could be heading for a marriage crisis too. In an interview with Metro.co.uk Jeff warned he doesn’t know what the future holds for Cain and Moira.

“I think that’s what’s good about this story, for Cain and Moira. There’s a series of obstacles and hurdles that lay in front of them that I think are really going to challenge them as a couple.

“As to whether it makes or breaks them, I don’t think I even know just yet but it’s going to be really interesting to see.”

Show boss Laura Shaw also hinted things will be complicated for Moira and Cain. “Their complex marriage will be tested as they face dark times,” she said.

However in a recent interview with The Mirror, Jeff gave hope as he talked about how strong their love is.

“Cain is told surgery could make him incontinent and/or he could have an erectile dysfunction afterwards. For some men, this can be short term but for others, it is forever.

“What if Moira won’t want him? This will be a story about how ultimately their love for each other is so strong.”

Sounds encouraging. Let’s just hope it is.

3. Paddy’s mental health crisis in Emmerdale spoilers

After watching Bear kill Ray, Paddy faced a decision over whether to protect his dad, or hand him over to the authorities.

Together with Dylan Paddy got rid of Ray’s body. Although things hit a hurdle when Jai unknowingly drove Ray away.

They are now pretending they know nothing and carrying on as normal. But with Bear in a state, Paddy has had to trake drastic action to keep him quiet too.

We know that this isn’t just going to affect Bear’s mental health, but Paddy’s as well, with show boss Laura Shaw previously revealing: “[This] tragic discovery will bring Paddy’s mental health problems back to the forefront.”

3. Graham Foster’s connection to Jodie

It’s been confirmed that Graham is sticking around now his secret is out in the open. But one huge mystery remains: just what is his connection to Coronation Street’s Jodie?

During Corriedale Graham had her tied up in the back of his van. We thought we might get answers last week when Joe asked Graham why he had returned now. Graham replied that he knew he couldn’t just walk away when he saw Joe in the hospital on the night of the Corriedale crash.

But when Joe then pressed him as to what he was doing there, Graham refused to explain why he was at the hospital in the first place. He swiftly changed the subject and it was forgotten.

But fans haven’t forgotten and are desperate to know. It’s now been confirmed by Corrie actress Olivia Frances Brown that we will get answers – but she couldn’t say when!

4. An exit for Victoria after John’s murder in Emmerdale spoilers

In the coming months we will be saying goodbye to the iconic Victoria Sugden. But in happier news, it’s not forever – as actress Isabel Hodgins announced she is expecting her first baby!

Isabel recently got married and so the whole thing is absolutely adorable. And she joins the many Emmerdale stars having babies recently.

It looks like we’re hurtling fast towards the exit as she has just admitted to killing her brother. But as Robert and Aaron scramble to help her cover it up, it’s been promised the secret won’t stay buried for long.

“The truth about John’s death will be revealed, as Victoria’s clever deception, making John’s death look like suicide, will unravel,” Laura Shaw said.

“Evil Joe Tate knows the truth and has damning video evidence which he plans to use to get what he wants from the Sugdens, potentially taking control of Butler’s Farm. Robert is also in the thick of it, trying to save Victoria by planting evidence.”

We’ve already seen the beginnings of Victoria falling apart on screen – and chances are that will lead to the truth coming out.

5. Charity’s secret explodes in Emmerdale spoilers

Mack knows the baby Charity is carrying may not actually be Sarah’s. What he doesn’t know is it could be Ross’. In fact, Mack thinks it’s his and in his desperation to become a father again, he wants the truth to be told.

Charity has so far persuaded him to keep it from Sarah so they can get a DNA test done before worrying her. Presumably she wants to fake these results too!

But she will not be successful in keeping her secret forever. “The truth surrounding Charity’s pregnancy is set to blow wide open,” Laura teased. “Mackenzie mistakenly believes he could be the baby’s father, but the secret that Ross is the real father is still under wraps.

“With the baby due in spring, the birth may be the event that finally exposes all of Charity’s secrets…”
