Emmerdale’s Dingles have been considering the future

Emmerdale fans will need to be prepared for an emotional episode tonight as the Dingle family discuss the past, present and future as they contemplate life without Zak.

On the episode due to be broadcast on ITV on Friday, October, 18, Belle and Sam believe that timing of their Dad’s funeral is the right time to air their dirty laundry as they force Cain to be upfront with Moira’s health. After enough pestering and drinking from Zak’s ‘secret stash’ malt whisky, Cain reveals that she cancelled an appointment to be at the funeral – as she knew he could not cope without her and does not know how to cope with the possibility of losing her.

The siblings then talk about Cain being ‘head of the family’, which he was nominated by Zak but feels he is not ready for. Later that night, Cain reveals that he is annoyed with himself for not giving a ‘proper’ speech at the funeral and reads out what he was going to say in front of Belle and Sam.

The trio then wake up on the sofa the next morning and visit Zak’s grave in the garden as they come to accept the reality that he is truly gone.
