Emmerdale's Cain is shocked by Samson's story

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle receives a nasty shock in Monday’s (June 10) episode, as dealing with Samson’s lies proves more difficult than initially thought.

Cain vowed to save his stepson Matty Barton from a prison sentence after Samson falsely accused him of a brutal attack.

Last week, Samson and his new friend Josh teamed up to cause trouble for Matty while he was working at The Hide.

Matty drained both men’s drinks after their bad behavior. With Josh as the leader, he and Samson then attempted to intimidate Matty by making threats. Josh also made transphobic comments towards Matty.

Things got out of hand when Josh pushed Samson towards Matty, who was holding a knife. This left Samson with a knife wound and – under pressure from Josh – he later told police that Matty had deliberately attacked him.

In Monday’s episode, Cain tries to keep his promise to help Matty by confronting Samson.

While visiting Sam and Lydia, Cain accuses Samson of lying because he is afraid of Josh.

He is frustrated when Samson sticks to his false story, refusing to clear Matty’s name.
