Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley has said he thinks his character Cain Dingle has “met his match”, although he is still in the dark about whether show bosses plan to kill him off.
The 50-year-old, who made his debut as bad-boy Cain in 2000, said he had not read the scripts so he could not say whether ITV planned to call time on his part.
Recent episodes have seen Cain become embroiled in a violent feud with corrupt police officer DI Malone, played by Mark Womack.
Hordley said: “Mark and myself have just been really enjoying these sparring matches. But I do think he’s met his match – maybe on both counts.
