Emmerdale reveals Cain's regrets after his explosive feud with Sam

Emmerdale's Cain Dingle will share his regret over Tom King's prison attack next week, as his family continues to be torn apart. Belle's abusive ex-husband Tom was attack in prison by Samson earlier this month, under instruction from his uncle Cain.

The attack left Tom in hospital and has jeopardised Samson's future by extending his prison sentence just when he was due to be released.

It also led to Belle having to come face-to-face with Tom once again, who tried to convince her that he was a changed man and revealed he was moving to Northern Ireland after his release.

Samson's dad Sam has been furious at his brother for orchestrating the attack on Tom but with Cain about to start his next round of cancer treatment, a family feud is the last thing he needs.

In scenes to air next week, Cain admits to Moira that he "got it wrong", about Samson and he just wanted to warn Tom off.

When Moira mentions Belle's visit to Tom and how their ordeal was at least "over," Cain tells her he doesn't believe a word Tom said. However, Moira says that Belle believes him and that's all that matters.

Wanting Cain to turn his focus away from Tom and towards getting better, Moira tells him he must reunite his family and make up with Sam. While Cain doesn't seem necessarily enthusiastic about it, he agrees to try and sort things out with his brother.

Meanwhile, next week will also see Sam forced to turn to Tom for help in order to spare Samson from spending further years behind bars.

But while Cain is willing to try and make amends with his brother for Moira's sake, Sam is not receptive, leading to a massive showdown in the Woolpack.

"Sam is so furious that he goes for Cain and, for the first time in their lives, Cain is genuinely scared of him," warns our Emmerdale source.

"Not only does it prove the sheer intensity of Sam's anger, but it also reminds Cain that he's more vulnerable these days. In fact, he's completely shaken by the whole thing."

Will Sam ever be able to forgive Cain and unite with him before Tom takes all the Dingle's power?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
