Does Cain die in Emmerdale? All the reasons we think he’ll survive

Ahuge explosion ripped through the barn in Emmerdale last night with

Cain and Moira still inside – but does Cain die? We don’t think so!

Come on, this is Cain Dingle we’re talking about! The man has more lives

than several cats put together. Plus, he’s smack bang in the middle of a huge storyline, so there’s no way they’d just end it there… Or would they?

Does Cain die in Emmerdale?

So on Wednesday September 11 the barn fire Moira accidentally started when she shot at Ruby Fox-Miligan was still raging on. Mack noticed the smoke and raced over on a quadbike, then John arrived, the emergency services were called and the pair went inside the burning building to try and rescue Moira.

But instead they found injured and barely conscious Ruby and carried her to safety. Mackenzie insisted he hadn’t been able to find Moira due to all the smoke and flames.

Chas, Cain and Caleb raced over to the barn and there was no stopping Cain from rushing in to rescue his wife. He located her and worked to get them out of there. Moira, who thought it was hopeless, told Cain that she loved him.

He wasn’t giving up though, and covering them both with a huge blanket, he tried to lead them out to safety. But before they could get outside, the barn exploded. Those outside including Chas, Mack and John were thrown to the floor and Chas screamed, knowing her brother had almost certainly perished.

Indeed, it doesn’t look at all like anyone could survive that blast. Anyone except Cain Dingle…

Come on, Cain can’t die in Emmerdale!

It is very clear to us that Cain won’t die. There’s three very good reasons we think he’ll still be alive tonight…

1. Moira’s storyline needs wrapping up

It’s been clear for all to see that there’s something seriously wrong with Moira. She has been having seizures and hallucinations and lashing out without remembering she’s done it. Cain and co think it’s the menopause, but fans are pretty sure it’s a brain tumour.

But with any diagnosis yet to be given, they can’t kill Cain off in the middle of this storyline, surely?!

Plus, Jeff Hordley told Lorraine during behind-the-scenes filming that there is “more to come” in the aftermath of the fire and seemingly confirmed Cain and Moira will both still be alive.

2. Cain needs to take on Tom

Cain has just found out about his sister Belle’s abuse at the hands of Tom King. There is no way Emmerdale would deny us a showdown between the pair, it’s what we’ve been waiting for.

Although Belle has insisted she doesn’t want Cain to lash out in violence, he at the very least has to make Tom suffer somehow – even if that’s just being by Belle’s side and defending her every step of the way.

Cain cannot die with Tom still getting away with it!

3. He’s Cain Dingle!

This is not the first fire Cain has survived. He was pulled out of a garage fire started by Adam Barton. And he has had so many brushes with death there’s too much to mention!

But his lucky escapes have included a brain aneurism, being attacked and left for dead by his father, Zak, a car smash involving Al and an attack by Aaron Dingle.

Cain always comes out on top and we have no reason to think any different this time. Or at least we hope we don’t!
