ITV Emmerdale fans all say the same thing as Cain Dingle suffers brutal blow

ITV's beloved soap Emmerdale left fans saying the same thing as Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) was forced to face reality after trying to help Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) on her arduous journey to become a mother. After the 20-year-old's emergency hysterectomy, her family came together to try and find a surrogate to fulfil her desire to have a child, but had no success with official surrogate agencies.

Eventually, Cain decided to help the family look for hopefuls privately and illegally. After finding a potential surrogate, the mechanic headed to The Woolpack to meet the woman. Cain tragically realised that he had been scammed. This came as a devastating blow as he was attempting to find a silver lining after the shocking death of his son, Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). Taking to social media with anticipation, one predicted: "Cain has been scammed by a pretend surrogate, he's going to get angry with everyone now, because that's what he always does."

Another remarked: "So Cain's that thick he just accepts a photo." As a third added: "Cain Dingle getting scammed, not on my 2025 bingo card."

"Moira and Cain were struggling for money last week, now Cain has money for a surrogate for Sarah," said a viewer.

Meanwhile, others praised the camera angle used to portray Cain's dismay, as he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror in despair and shared: "The shot of Cain in the mirror while they're talking about him... camera work is so simple but underrated on her."

Another fan echoed: "The way Cain was standing looking in the mirror while everyone else was talking about him. What a camera angle."

After heading outside the pub and confirming there was "no sign" of the surrogate, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) suggested: "Maybe she's changed her mind, it is a lot to ask."

While Cain insisted: "She's not going to let us down, I paid for her travel." This prompted Ryan Lamb to question how much the woman was paid, and they were shocked to discover he'd forked out £500 for her not to appear.

After noticing their looks, the mechanic explained: "It's illegal to pay for a surrogate in this country. You can only pay them expenses, so they bump them up."

As Ryan double checked the woman's details, Cain told Chas: "She's married with three kids, you can see from her photo that she's just a normal woman who wants to help Sarah out."

However, as the website quickly revealed an error notification, Ryan informed Cain: "That page doesn't exist, it must've been taken down. It's a scam." In a fit of rage and fury, Cain slapped a glass off the table before heading to the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror in disappointment.
