Emmerdale viewers were ‘treated’ to a second upsetting attack in as many evenings, as Cain Dingle was beaten up by a gang of thugs last night.
He had gone to confront the lads who had set upon Matty at the New Year’s Eve party, leaving him mortified after brutally attempting to strip him.

Fans were confused that Emmerdale’s resident hardman would allow this to happen.
And they fear that the guilt of ‘killing’ Joe Tate is resting so heavily on his shoulders he has become a shell of a man.
There were even some grumbles on Twitter that writers are ruining his character…
Wow, Cain looks like half the man he was, the weight of what happened to Joe is getting too much…..it’s only a matter of time till the powderkeg explodes xxx #emmerdale

This Cain stuff is BS. For years he’s portrayed as this hard man/killer who almost beat the hell out of Robert only to be told he’s never actually killed anyone & now he’s allowing himself to be beaten? Yea okay… #Emmerdale
