Emmerdale actor Jeff Hordley has promised there will be a change in Cain Dingle's storylines in the coming weeks.
Jeff has played Cain for several years, but as of late, the character has been part of some huge storylines which has seen him cover for his son Kyle, who killed Al and is now facing a police investigation. Elsewhere, Cain is struggling with his family being so welcoming of Caleb, despite his reservations about his supposed long-lost brother.
However, Jeff has promised Cain will be making some changes in the next few weeks as he vows there will be more self-awareness.
Cain covered for KyleSpeaking to Digital Spy, he said: "It's really hard because Cain just wants to be there for Kyle. Obviously, he feels guilty for Kyle being in that situation, so he just wants to be there to support him. But he's not allowed by the courts to see him, so it's really difficult.
"Cain also feels that Amy is revelling in this. He's not being very reasonable and he just thinks Amy is enjoying this. She's not, really, as she just wants to do the best by Kyle, but Cain doesn't see it that way."

Actor Jeff Hordley has been on the soap for several yearsJeff promises that self-awareness is on its way, but Cain is used to just acting "on instinct".
"I think that's to come. At the moment, I don't think he has that self-awareness. But I think that's about to come," he added, "As Jeff, I can see that Cain is not being particularly reasonable. But in Cain's head, he's just acting on instinct as he normally does."
Jeff previously revealed there is the potential for Cain to murder someone in the future.
He has vowed there will be a changeSpeaking in December, he said: "There’s always the potential, I think, with the nature of the character. I mean, fortunately, that hasn't happened yet. That’s the thing, there are only a few characters in the soap world who kill people and are still there. You have to get your comeuppance. But because of the nature of Cain’s DNA, I think there’s always potential for that to happen."
He was glad that his character wasn't the one who shot Al despite their character's long-running feud.
"They said, 'Anyway, you shoot Al', and I was like, 'Oh my god, I've finally killed someone?' Then they went, 'But it's Kyle', and I thought, 'Yes! Thank you!' I thought, well, he's all right, isn't he? That's the truth," he said of the recent storyline.
