In Emmerdale Cain continues to be public enemy number one after the revelation that he and Ruby slept together. But it seems fans are getting sick of the way he’s treated.

The limo lake crash was an extremely dramatic and heartbreaking week in the Dales. And one huge secret that came out, was Cain and Ruby’s one night stand (we all hoped it was just going to disappear).

But it’s not just Moira and Caleb who are upset with Cain, it seems to be the entire village. And fans can’t help but feel sorry for him.

Emmerdale villagers turn on Cain

After the secret came out, Kyle turned on his dad, Matty (who is grieving Amy) tried to force Moira to leave him, and everyone else in the village seems to have something to say about it.

But in reality, it is by no means the first time someone has cheated in the village. Doing it while Moira was having brain surgery may have been the worst aspect of it, but just when it seemed fans were calling for Cain to face revenge, now they are back on his side.

Not only is his son not wanting him around, but his brother also tried to set him up for a murder that he actually had nothing to do with. And viewers have pointed out that everyone seems to be forgetting their own history in the village.

While Moira and Cain (Coira) have been a fan-favourite couple for years, it isn’t the first time they have been hit by a cheating scandal. And last time, it was a full blown affair between Moira and Cain’s son Nate – and his body is currently sinking in the lake.

Fans defend Cain

Taking to a reddit thread one fan wrote: “I know he was wrong to cheat on Moira. But come on, does he really deserve to be boycotted by his family or be constantly shamed for it? I’m at the point of rooting for him to frame Caleb for Anthony’s murder.”

Another agreed: “I think the Moira and Nate storyline was way worse than this. I hope it will all blow over in a few weeks. And I still love Cain.”

A third simply wrote: “They are all hypocrites. So many of them have had affairs and he had a one-night stand.”

Another penned: “They really are enjoying hating on him, aren’t they? As if Moira didn’t run around of him with his own son for months.”

An angry viewer commented: “Moira I understand because it happened while she was having life threatening surgery. But we all know she will get over it eventually. But as for Caleb, he has slept with his nephew’s wife. So he can get off his high horse.”
