Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley has spoken about next week's possible reunion scenes for Cain and Moira Dingle.
The ex-couple have an emotional heart-to-heart next week when Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) locks them in a barn together, which gives them a chance to talk through their issues once and for all.
The upcoming scenes see Mackenzie interfere when Moira (Natalie J Robb) is desperately trying to stop Cain from taking revenge against Jamie Tate again.
Cain's payback plans are thwarted when he gets locked inside the barn, and he's given further food for thought when Moira makes another emotional apology for destroying their marriage last year.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media about the upcoming scenes, Jeff explained: "Cain and Moira get locked in the barn and they start having this big heart-to-heart. It was a great day's filming for this episode.
"It was really good, because the writers have the history of Cain and Moira's relationship to draw on – and it was a really lovely episode. I hope the audience will go along with it. I hope they enjoy it and see what happens in that locked barn scenario.
"At first when Moira apologises, Cain is a bit like: 'Oh, not this again'. She's saying the same old things, but she manages to persuade him in a different way so he sits and he listens."

Emmerdale bosses are keeping quiet about whether these scenes lead to a long-awaited reunion for Cain and Moira, or whether it's another false start for the popular pair.
However, asked whether Cain could ever find happiness with anyone else, Jeff replied: "I think he could, but in his heart, and where he is now, I don't think there's going to be anyone else for him.
"In the life we've seen for Cain in Emmerdale, Moira's the only person who has made him feel like this. He had a strong bond with Charity but that was more of a young love thing, whereas this is the real deal."

Jeff also predicted that the possibility of a reunion for Cain and Moira would go down well with the wider Dingle family.
He said: "The family know Cain is better as a human with Moira and in that family unit, rather than a kind of lone person who works at the garage and has the potential to do dodgy things.
"Although he's always going to do those dodgy things, because that's in his DNA – and he did pull Moira over to the dark side a little bit!"
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
