Emmerdale has added Cain Dingle to the Anthony Fox death cover-up storyline.

Cain has joined the list of Ruby Fox-Miligan, Caleb Miligan, Aaron Dingle, John Sugden and Chas Dingle who are all keeping the villain’s demise under wraps.

Last week’s episodes saw Ruby, Caleb, Aaron and John make a pact of silence after they’d all played a role in Anthony’s dramatic final day.

Chas overheard them talking and became the fifth conspirator when she demanded to know what was going on.

Monday’s episode has extended the plot further, with Caleb deciding to bring Cain in on the secret.

The revealing conversation unfolded when Caleb finally confronted his brother over the allegation that Cain had betrayed him by sleeping with Ruby.

A rattled Cain denied it, but demanded to know who’d been spreading the gossip.

Caleb awkwardly admitted that Anthony was the one who planted the seed of suspicion in his head.

The businessman then filled in Cain over the recent drama surrounding Anthony’s death, confident that he’d help to keep the dark secret under wraps.

An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: “With so many of his family members already involved in the cover-up, it was only ever a matter of time before Cain was brought in on the secret.

“Cain has an immediate role to play in the storyline as Aaron has been using his garage to strip down Anthony’s car and get rid of the evidence – and Manpreet has made a noise complaint over the work taking place after dark.

“As the story continues, how will Cain feel about this murder cover-up hitting so close to home and potentially implicating him too?”

Ruby was confirmed as Anthony’s killer in flashback scenes last week. Anthony’s death aired following the recent revelation that he’d sexually abused Ruby when she was a teenager.

Viewers can see the full story of Cain’s reaction tonight at the earlier time of 7pm on ITV1, or right now on ITVX.
