THE DINGLE'S ONCE AGAIN PROVE WHY THEY ARE THE BEST SOAP FAMILY AS THEY RALLY AROUND CAIN

-
During the previous two episodes of Emmerdale, The Dingles were at the full-front as Cain Dingle let his family in on his cancer diagnosis, proving why once again why The Dingle's are the show's strongest family.

Last night (Monday 9th March) saw a Cain Dingle Focused Episode and one that was carefully delivered thanks to Adam Sales thoughtful writing. During the first moments of the episode, Sarah Sugden visited her grandad, Cain who informed her that Joe Tate knew that he was the one that stole his car as Sarah once again told him that it's time he told his wife, Moira Dingle the truth about his health. During a scene in The Woolpack, Sarah saw Jacob Sugden who quickly stormed off as Belle Dingle demanded answers after seeing an upset Sarah. Later, Cain went to see Liam Cavanagh regarding a development in his health, with Liam being the person that Cain needs - Liam and Cain's friendship is fantastic to see continue as he seems to be the only one he lets his guard down with.

A heart-breaking moment came as Cain broke the news about his cancer diagnosis to Moira with her breaking down as they spoke about what's next - these are the kind of scenes that Emmerdale deliver well and with such care. This was a special kind of scene that I wish Emmerdale delivered more of especially with the 15 year relationship between Moira and Cain. Natalie J Robb and Jeff Hordley working fantastically together knowing their characters inside and out.

Tonight's episode (Tuesday 10th March) was another Dingle based episode as Cain decided it was time to tell his family starting with Belle Dingle, Caleb Milligan, Sam Dingle, and Chas Dingle at Wishing Well where Cain thanked Sarah for her support, but it wasn't long before the wider Dingle family learn the truth about Cain's health with Sam breaking down in the toilets as Lydia Dingle found him. There was something that Cain talking to Zak that felt very nostalgia and a moment that saw the strong characters walls break down. In The Woolpack, Charity Dingle spoke with Sarah as Cain walked into the pub to his family.

With the family now knowing Cain decided it was time Isaac and Kyle learnt the truth in a heartfelt scene with some beautifully written open dialogue. Soon afterwards, Sam said some kind words about how Cain is always there for them, and now it's their time to be there for him - this is why the Dingle's are my favourite family on the show! However, it was the final scene of Cain learning that Moira had sold Butler's Farm that left Cain surprised.

Adam Sales, thank you for writing for writing two brilliant episodes that followed on from one another fantastically.

This episode of Emmerdale aired on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th March, 2026 at 8pm on ITV1, and YouTube, and ITVX from 7am.

EASTENDERS REVIEW: A ROLLERCOASTER OF A WEEK FOR LAUREN AND PETER AS BEX RETURNED

-
This week's episodes of EastEnders saw Peter Beale propose to his pregnant girlfriend, Lauren Branning who declined, however for me I personally think this is a great choice but the week continued to take the pair on an emotional rollercoaster. The fact that the week's episodes started with Peter Beale missing the baby scan, you could see Lauren Branning was in for an emotional week and honestly if any character needs support its Lauren! With Peter continuing to focus on his mum, Cindy Beale instead of Lauren really frustrated me. As much as I like Peter and Lauren as a couple in the show, I have to say Lauren choosing to turn down his proposal in Tuesday's episode (1st April) after everything that happened previously with Cindy Beale over Christmas with Lauren thinking that she was the one that injured her, and Peter doubting his girlfriend, where is the trust? One thing however, I did like was the attention to detail and remembering certain moments made the scenes interes...

The past few weeks have seen Emmerdale's beloved character Aaron Dingle go through a lot at the hands of John Sugden but there has been one character that has tried to save him and that is his ex-husband, Robert Sugden who let's be honest would do anything to save his true love. Viewers have been through a rollercoaster of emotions from Aaron falling of the gorge, Aaron being in hospital, and admitting the truth about John and his actions to Robert being arrested, but then being released as well as being desperate to know that his ex-husband, Aaron was safe and well finally leading to Aaron being released from hospital.

However, when Robert was released during last Friday's episode, (19th September) following Mackenzie giving his account of what John di...
