Cain kissed Ruby while Moira was having surgery

Emmerdale fans have jumped to Cain Dingle’s defence after he betrayed wife Moira by cheating on her with Ruby Fox-Milligan, stating ‘she’s hardly Mother Teresa’.

Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, kissed Ruby while Moira was undergoing an operation on her brain. Cain has been overcome by guilt ever since as Moira recovered from surgery.

Moira, played by Natalie J. Robb, has been living in blissful ignorance ever since. In tonight’s episode, a guilt-ridden Cain decided to stay in his van overnight in Dudley rather than go home and face her.

Fans were quick to share their thoughts, with some reminding others of Moira’s past daliances where she cheated on her partner. Viewers took to social media to vent their frustrations.
