Jeff Hordley - aka
Cain Dingle
First Appearance: 30th
March 2000
Born: 30 Nov 1974
Appeared at cousin
Butch's
funeral.
Cain thought he was
the son of
Zak's
brother
Shadrach.
But Cain had always looked up to his
Uncle Zak
It later turned out
Zak had had an affair with his sister-in-law,
Faith,
many years before and Dingle cousin Cain was
actually Zak's son and half-brother of
Sam,
Belle,
Tina
and the late
Ben
and
Butch.
Faith broke the news to Zak on Cain's 26th birthday.
(Cain found out the truth about his parentage
sometime later.)
We found out on 16th
October 2002 that Cain had grown up with a sister
Chastity
(actually half-sister/step-sister). She is
Shadrach's
daughter, probably by Faith.
We found out in 2003
that Cain has a daughter,
Debbie Jones.
However it wasn't until May 2003 that he found out.
2000
He first turns up at Butch’s funeral. He’s
always worshipped Uncle Zak from afar - Zak’s
reputation as a fist fighter impressed the young
Cain. Cain helps to fuel the feud between the
Dingles and Tates and vows to avenge Butch’s
death. Cain stirs up trouble between the
Reynolds. Desperate to find someone to blame for
Butch’s death he brands Sean a killer and
threatens Angie. Cain starts flirting with Ollie
saying he wants to get to know her better, and
she invites him in. Angie comes home and throws
him out. Sam and Cain get arrested on suspicion
of armed robbery. Cain goes poaching with Zak
and points the gun at him; a shot is fired
narrowly missing Zak, who takes the gun and
floors him with a punch to the face.
Cain finds out that his cousin Charity is seeing
Chris Tate. Cain goes to Home Farm and attempts
to beat up Chris, but the police arrive and
arrest him in the nick of time. Charity moves
into Home Farm.
2001
Cain found out that Zak was his real father.
Cain and Andy become friends and Cain gets the
impressionable kid involved in shifting stolen
goods and selling cigarettes at school for him.
Cain starts pursuing the recently separated
Angie and eventually they become lovers. Cain is
besotted by her, but for her it’s only a fling.
She later ends it and he is devastated. Cain
wreaks havoc on the Reynolds by sleeping with
Ollie for revenge, knocking Len down the stairs
and exposing the affair with Angie to the whole
family. Sean, unable to contain his anger, beats
him up. Cain doesn’t raise a finger to defend
himself. He then presses charges against him and
also tells the police about his affair with
Angie resulting in her being suspended from the
force. Cain starts spending counterfeit money in
the village and gives some to Andy to launder.
Until he gets into hot water with local villain
Ray Mullen.
Cain bullies his half brother Sam to the point
where he is in fear for his life and runs away
to live in the woods. When Zak and Lisa get back
they discovered that Sam is not in Ireland as
Cain said. It transpires that Cain is kicked out
of the family home.
2002
Zak soon lets Cain back into the family fold.
When Ray Mullen buys a house in the village Cain
is soon running scared. Ray comands respect and
Cain gives it willingly, even if he does try to
rip him off.
