Dingle all the way
Emmerdale viewers swoon over hero Cain as he saves Nate and Moira’s lives after boat explosion
EMMERDALE viewers were smitten with hero Cain Dingle tonight as he save Moira and Nate's lives - despite their sordid affair.
The Dales bad boy breathed air into Moira's lungs as he retrieved her from under the water after she was knocked off the boat at the end of last night's episode.

Rising to the surface with her after the boat exploded, he began pulling her to shore.
Moira spotted Nate clinging on to wreckage among the flames and begged Cain to go back for him.
Eventually giving in, he went back for his son and told him: "You won't die. Not today." before helping him to safety.
Without saying a word, he stormed to his car and sped off as a distraught Moira shouted after him.

Viewers were full of praise for the soap heartthrob, with one writing on Twitter: "Say what you want about Cain, but he saved both their lives tonight. He's a real hero. #Emmerdale"
A second posted: "Cain left Moira & Nate there, what will he do next ?? #Emmerdale"
As a third shared: "#emmerdale well done Cain. Just leave them. You managed not to kill them so now leave them. You've done your bit. But don't now crash on the way home. The way she just said "...til you meet Cain" to her new baby means Cain will crash and nearly die."
Last night fans were left open-mouthed after Nate's big reveal, with some grossed out that he had been sleeping with his own step mum.

Gripping scenes saw Cain and Nate brawling on the deck of a small yacht after the older man forced him and Moira to join him on a fishing trip.
While Moira was below deck, Cain seethed: "Some women, they read magazines, watch reality TV, that kind of thing. Moira does sex.
"She says it's the only thing that stops her thinking. So when it comes to blokes, she doesn't really make the best choices."

Nate replied: "Your missus is bored of your boring life and your boring marriage. That's why he's going behind your back with me.
"In the caravan, the barn, in your bed while you were in Scotland. Last night, all night. The sex was the best she's ever had, obviously."
After that, Cain grabbed a plank and knocked him out cold - but he later came round, bursting onto the deck roaring: "You're pathetic, old man."
Putting his face close to Cain's, he growled: "Nate. Short for Nathaniel. Look at me and remember.

"You see me now - Dad? You must have known that I'd come for you one day. I'm your son."
Moira, apparently believing some kind of practical joke was taking place, lectured him: "If you think this is funny, it's hardly the time."
But Nate snapped: "Stay out of it. Your use is over."
Cain, steadying himself onto the boat and looking utterly bewildered, was jolted back to reality when Moira was sent flying into the water.
