Jeff Hordley plays Emmerdale bad boy Cain Dingle with the character set to be involved in some major 50th anniversary storylines
Acting star Jeff Hordley has reflected on his time on the soap as part of the preparations for Emmerdale’s big 50th celebrations with major storylines set to run throughout October. Jeff Hordley, 52, first appeared in Emmerdale back in 2000 and is as popular as ever with fans.
“Some of my earliest memories are of breakfast scenes at the Dingles, which was mayhem. There was so much toast, sausages and bacon, I’m sure I put on a stone in my first six months at Emmerdale, with Cain being the character that he is, he’s wolfing things down so if you’re doing six takes I end up eating so much.
Jeff, who is married to co-star Zoe Henry, still recalls his first Emmerdale as if it was yesterday. He explained: “I remember driving on the M62 from Manchester, as that was where I was living at the time and on that journey I remember thinking ‘Oh my God, I’m going to be one of the Dingles’ because they were such an iconic family.
Jeff has always been a big fan of Emmerdale’s location with rural Yorkshire holding a special place in his heart. Jeff, from Manchester, has previously referred to himself as an ‘adopted Yorkshireman ’.
