Emmerdale power couple Cain Dingle and Moira Barton haven't actually been a couple for a while now, after it was discovered that Moira was having an affair with Nate Robinson, who turned out to be Cain's long-lost son.
We're not surprised that the couple haven't got back together, but Soap Law dictates that they must at least become friends again to add an element of 'will they or won't they get back together?'.
Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, is definitely in the camp of people who think they should reunite, telling Digital Spy and other media that: "It’s similar to the Cain and Charity and Debbie thing – they're always going to be bound by their child and they have to get on in some shape of form.

"They have to move forward as any parent does when a relationship breaks down and there's children involved. That's where we will see how they cope with life apart but having to be tied by and sharing the childcare.
"I'd love them to be back together as I Iove working with Natalie (J Robb). We have a shorthand on set with each other, so it makes working with her really easy. It would be nice for them to back together."
What to Read Next
Similarly, Cain and Nate's frosty relationship is starting to thaw out, after the latter didn't report his father to the police over the shooting incident.
"That will now move them forward," Jeff added, "you will see more of a thaw with the pair of those. The interesting thing is Moira, Nate, Cain — how will they exist in a village together?"
Cain's got bigger things to deal with in his immediate future, as he and a few others have been coerced into working for corrupt copper and criminal DI Malone, and someone is going to betray him.
From March 30, Emmerdale will air three nights a week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday – at 7pm on ITV.
