You need to download it and go to page 11 I think, either way what ever page it is it has a picture near the top of it of Cain looking half dead with Debbie, Charity, Moira, Vanessa and Kirin all huddled around him, so it shouldn't be that hard to find the page. Also Cain refuses to have the operation despite his loved ones begging him to have it to save his life.

Looks like he has collapsed outside, probably the Woolpack and they are all in the area ???

In an interview in a magazine Jeff Hordley just says Cain collapses and falls into a river in an woodland area, so it doesn't yet state where abouts he faints, but I think it is a place near the village because I think after he flees the hospital he goes for a walk to clear his head but then he becomes dizzy and falls into the river. But it also says he blacks out while hes working in the garage and Charity comes in the garage to find him passed out, but that is the first time he blacks out and the 2nd time he does that's when he falls into the river. As for all the people being there I think that after Charity finds Cain has left the hospital she goes and tells Moira and that lot about Cain being ill and I guess they all rally round to try and track him down. I also guess Vanessa and Kirin are there as they want to help Moira find Cain, Also I don't know if it is just me but in the picture Kirins hair appears to be wet so my guess is he dives into the river to save Cain. Either way I can't wait to see how this storyline plays out, Jeff Hordley is such a great actor!

sorry but i find the story pointless we know cain will be ok seen like the writers are running out of ideas for his character

[xloolx]

True, But I still think it will be good to see his vulnerable side as it is something we rarely see. I love seeing the softer side of Cain and his more sensitive side, but I do really miss seeing his really dark side as well.

Emmerdale's Cain Dingle receives shocking news next week as he learns that he has a life-threatening brain aneurysm.

Cain hears the worrying diagnosis when he gets himself checked out at A&E on the orders of his ex-partner Charity, after days of hiding worrying symptoms.

Jeff Hordley as Cain Dingle

The village's resident hardman remains in denial afterwards as he refuses to have an urgent operation, but he later pays the price for ignoring the severity of the situation when he collapses and falls into a river.

We recently caught up with Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, to hear more about what to expect from the story.

When were you first told about the storyline?
"It came up really quickly, to be perfectly honest with you. I kind of know why the story is happening, but I can't really say what the plan is because that would be giving too much away!

"It started off really quickly because all of a sudden Cain was coming back from abroad, he'd lost his car and he was telling everyone that it had been stolen. I didn't really know what was going on, but then they explained to me that Cain was starting to have blackouts and other symptoms."

Why is Cain keeping so quiet about his symptoms?
"I think Cain just doesn't want anyone to know what's going on. He'd rather just suffer in silence than admit that something is wrong. He only confides in Charity because she finds him getting up from a blackout in the garage, but he threatens to kick her and Noah out if she tells anyone.

"If there's one positive message this story should have, it's definitely that if you're ever worried about something that is not quite right, you should go and see the doctor to get it sorted. It's much better to do that as early as possible rather than coming when it's too late."

Wouldn't it be better for Cain to just confide in Moira?
"Well, he doesn't want to worry her. Moira ends up fearing that he is cheating on her with Charity, but Cain doesn't have a clue about that. He's being quite secretive with Charity and snappy at Moira because of his illness, which makes her suspicious. He'd be gutted if he knew how she was feeling, because he loves her to bits."

Charity and Cain

Once Cain gets his diagnosis, why doesn't he want to go ahead with the operation?
"Because Cain feels that the doctors have tinkered around with his head too many times before, and as he describes to Charity in quite a funny line, he's not a game of Operation!

"Cain feels that all kinds of things could go wrong. He's scared and out of his comfort zone, because with this particular operation, he's worried that it could leave him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."

What was it like to film the scenes where Cain collapses and falls into a river?
"It was a cold day! Fortunately I had a wet suit on. I got to do my own stunt, but it wasn't jumping off a bridge or anything - it was just falling backwards into some water.

"What was difficult was having to submerge my ears into water and then hear 'action' being shouted while it was very muffled. I also had to remember to stay absolutely still while being brought out of the water, as Cain was supposed to be unconscious. It was difficult but great fun."

What happens afterwards?
"It's not looking good for Cain. They rush him to the hospital and they're not sure what's going to happen. Cain still refuses to have the operation, but everyone is round his bed trying to persuade him otherwise. Debbie and the Dingles are all there, but Moira's given up. He refuses to have the operation because he's frightened."

We'll learn that Cain's condition stems back to Zak's attack on him a few years back. Will Cain blame his father?
"No, there are some scenes coming up where that is put to bed, really. It's great that we've tied that story in, though. There are exchanges with Zak and Cain throughout all of this which throw a nod to that story."

Have you enjoyed showing Cain's vulnerable side with this story and other recent ones?
"Absolutely. I think it's a natural progression for the character to mature. Cain has been in the show for 14 years now. He was 26 when he joined and now he's just turned 40. People do change from their 20s to their 40s, so it's a natural and obvious progression and it's really good to play."

Could this situation bring Cain and Charity closer together?
"Definitely. I think there's always going to be a bond between Cain and Charity because they were first loves. They've got a daughter who they, in their own unique way, have to look after! That's their common bond so they'll always have this relationship."

On Twitter, there are hardcore Cain/Moira and Cain/Charity camps. Do you have a preference?
"To be honest, I don't! I think both couples have their merits and I love working with both Natalie and Emma. I think it's really interesting that there are two camps and it'd be good to explore that further.

"I think it's great that Cain has stood by Charity recently, because there's a long-standing history between them. He's always supported her and we sometimes have to work out why! I'm not saying he loves Charity, but there's something there and I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

"I don't know what the storyliners have got lined up for us, but I do think that would be an interesting avenue to explore in the future - Cain/Moira and Cain/Charity."

Will Emma Barton's arrival also have an impact on Cain?
"Absolutely. I think she's going to have an impact on all of the Bartons and everyone living on that farm. It'll be really interesting to watch. I haven't done any scenes with Gillian yet, though!"

Which Emmerdale stories have you enjoyed watching yourself in the past year?
"I think the Donna and Ross storyline was pretty spectacular. I really enjoyed that. It had echoes of Cain and Angie in there - the villain falling in love with the policewoman, but it was obviously a very different storyline because of Donna's illness. I thought Mike Parr and Verity Rushworth did a sterling job with that - they were brilliant."

With Cain having health problems, we have to ask whether you're planning on leaving anytime soon…
"I haven't got any plans to go anywhere! I'm definitely happy here at the moment."
