Creation and Casting
In the year 2000, series producer Kieran Roberts introduced three new members of the Dingle family. The new characters were introduced to the regular cast in 2000, who first arrived at the funeral of Butch Dingle (Paul Loughran). Among them were Cain (Jeff Hordley) son of Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell) and Faith Dingle (Gillian Jephcott). Cain's cousin and one-time lover is Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), and Zak's brother is Shadrach (Andy Devine). In April 2006 it was announced that Jeff Hordley had quit, however the door was left open for a possible return in the future. In January 2009 it was announced that Cain Dingle would return to Emmerdale in April that year after a three-year break. Speaking to Digital Spy about his return, Hordley said "I am really looking forward to returning to Emmerdale. The storylines that lead to Cain’s return are in keeping with his character and a perfect way to bring him back to the heart of the Dingle clan where he belongs". Hordley later said that he initially turned down a return but when he was approached about returning he thought the storyline was "great" and he felt like "the time was right for me".
