“The Truth Has Been Hidden For Years…” — Kyle Makes A Heartbreaking Discovery About His Dead Mum
The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated July 2. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.
Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) has made a devastating discovery about his dead mum in Emmerdale.
The youngster has been struggling with his emotions in recent weeks, and attempted to deal with them by setting fire to things on Emmerdale Farm.
Kyle’s secret was discovered by Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough), who spotted smoke feeding into the sky after Kyle set fire to his car.
When the boy ranted about Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) taking his home, and how awful he felt about his dad Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) getting cancer, Graham felt sorry for him. He knew that Kyle wasn’t setting fire to things just to cause trouble, and decided to try and help.
Graham became somewhat of a mentor to Kyle. He signed him up to the cadets, and also gave him advice about processing difficult thoughts and feelings.
The watch that Graham gave Kyle became topic of conversation in today’s episode. With the knowledge that Kyle had been wearing it, he confronted his son about it, believing that it had been stolen.
Kyle confirmed that Graham gave him the item, which left Cain and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) very confused.
The lad didn’t reveal any answers, so Cain headed to Home Farm to find them. There, Graham told Cain everything about how he’s been helping Kyle because he recognised that he was feeling troubled.
The fact that his son was finding things tough wasn’t the focus for Cain, the only thing he could think about was how Graham randomly decided to start looking out for Kyle. He also sensed that Graham was hiding something, and refused to leave until he found out what it was.
Graham told Cain that Kyle had been starting the fires. He didn’t want to pick a fight, and responded calmly to all of the snappy comments Cain made about how he had no right to try and be a makeshift parent to his boy.
Back at Wishing Well, Cain failed to keep his anger in check when Kyle said that Graham has actually been quite supportive, and believes he isn’t like any of the other Home Farm residents.
Cain put his foot down and stated that Kyle wouldn’t be seeing Graham anymore. Curious, Kyle asked why, and Cain revealed that Graham protects the man who killed his mum.
In future episodes, Kyle will head up to Home Farm in an attempt to get answers from Joe about Amy’s death.
Cain’s inability to control his anger has made another situation a whole lot worse.
What does this development mean for his relationship with Kyle?
