Not all relationships can survive their son accidentally stabbing his own half-cousin, but Emmerdale has confirmed whether Cain and Moira will be able to push through the worst of it together.
Fans of the show recall how Cain Dinger (Jeff Hordley) and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb)’s son Matty Barton (Ash Palsmisciano) accidentally stabbed Cain’s own flesh-and-blood, Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) in an accidental altercation between Matty, Samson and troublesome newcomer, Josh Cope.The stabbing has put a strain on the TV couple, as Moira was shown in a standoff with her husband, furious at him for failing to get Samson to confess to his involvement as her son, who she had with another man, sits behind bars.
