Eric knew that Cain was lashing out because he couldn’t deal with the fact Nate died hating him. The comments made Cain tearful, it was obvious that Eric was right.

Cain found solace in a bottle of Zak’s homemade whisky, but then drank even more courtesy of John (Oliver Farnworth). He was looking for a high and needed to save someone, so he forced Cain to drink so much he passed out.

Moira (Natalie J Robb) returned home just as John was putting Cain in the recovery position. He set him up with a drip, and told Moira that Cain just needs rest.

Cain didn’t leave the sofa in tonight’s episode as he dealt with a hellish hangover. As a result, he got Sarah (Katie Hill) to sort the work that needed doing at the garage.

When Charity (Emma Atkins) found out, she was annoyed at Cain. Charity now knows that Sarah has cancer, and knew she should be resting rather than doing her job.

Charity marched over to Butlers and told Cain that Sarah wouldn’t be at work for the foreseeable. He obviously wanted to know why and eventually, Charity revealed to him and Moira that Sarah has cancer…despite telling her granddaughter that she wouldn’t tell them.

The news hit Cain like a tonne of bricks. In the past few weeks alone, he’s been told that his son is dead, his daughter Debbie (Charley Webb) moved to Australia without even telling him, and now his granddaughter has been diagnosed with cancer.

Moira tried to comfort Cain, but it’s certainly going to take him a little while to get his head around all of the upsetting news that keeps being thrown at him.

How much more can he take?
