Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley has reassured fans of Cain and Moira Dingle following their recent rows.
The popular couple have clashed in recent weeks as Moira was hurt by Cain's secretive behaviour when he headed off on a mysterious trip with his half-brother Caleb Miligan.
This week, all was revealed to Moira as she discovered that Cain and Caleb had teamed up to bring Aaron Dingle back from Italy.
Moira was stunned to find Aaron tied up at the abandoned Wylie's Farm building after the siblings' dramatic intervention.

Speaking about whether Cain and Moira can work things out, Jeff told Digital Spy and other media: "I would have thought so, but it's a difficult one because of what happened last year with the whole Al situation.
"We're always on shaky ground when Cain starts to lie to Moira again – but sometimes needs must!
"I think they'll be fine. I don't envisage any major upset, but to be able to tell stories, Cain needs to keep his DNA in tact. As long as it's not an affair or anything like that, as that would be the end. As long as it's just a little white lie, it'll be fine.
"In Cain's chopped logic, he's doing this for Aaron. Everything that Cain does, ultimately in his mind, is always for the good of the family."

Cain and Caleb brought Aaron home again after discovering that he was on a self-destructive path in Italy.
Danny Miller's return to the role of Aaron was kept under wraps by Emmerdale bosses before Monday's episode aired.
Jeff added: "It's just great to have Danny back, because not only is he a fantastic actor and a great asset to the show, he's a lot of fun to work with as well.
"As much as we get on and we get the work done, we also manage to have a few smiles in between the takes as well.
"Cain and Aaron may end up more unified again, but for the time being, Aaron comes back so angry. It's that skewed Cain Dingle mindset again. He thought: 'If I take Aaron out of the problem in Italy and get him away, I can lock him up for his own good'.
"Aaron was like a caged animal, but in Cain's mind, it was tough love."
