EMMERDALE’S Nate Robinson is Cain Dingle’s secret son, the hunky farmhand revealed in tonight’s explosive hour-long episode.
Fans were left open-mouthed after the bombshell – before the boat’s sail swung road and sent Moira flying into the water to her possible death.
Viewers were horrified that he’d knowingly had sex with his step-mum, tweeting: “XXX.”
Gripping scenes tonight saw Cain and Nate grappling on the deck of a small yacht after the older man forced him and Moira to join him on a fishing trip.
While Moira was below deck, Cain seethed: “Some women, they read magazines, watch reality TV, that kind of thing. Moira does sex.
“She says it’s the only thing that stops her thinking. So when it comes to blokes, she doesn’t really make the best choices.”
Nate replied: “Your missus is bored of your boring life and your boring marriage. That’s why he’s going behind your back with me.
“In the caravan, the barn, in your bed while you were in Scotland. Last night, all night. The sex was the best she’s ever had, obviously.”
After that, Cain grabbed a plank and knocked him out cold – but he later came round, bursting onto the deck roaring: “You’re pathetic, old man.”
Putting his face close to Cain’s, he growled: “Nate. Short for Nathaniel. Look at me and remember.
“You see me now – Dad? You must have known that I’d come for you one day. I’m your son.”
Moira, apparently believing some kind of practical joke was taking place, lectured him: “If you think this is funny, it’s hardly the time.”
But Nate snapped: “Stay out of it. Your use is over.”
Cain, steadying himself onto the boat and looking utterly bewildered, was jolted back to reality when Moira was sent flying into the water.
Moments before the credits rolled, his wife was seen sinking to the bottom of the lake to a murky and uncertain fate.
Sun Online readers have long suspected Nate is a Dingle, with a number of clues being dropped by scriptwriters that pointed to his true identity.
