Following on from EastEnders<\/a>\u2018 hugely popular flashback episode<\/a> earlier this year, Emmerdale<\/a> will be airing its own flashback episode this Boxing Day, travelling back to 1991 to show how Cain and his long lost brother Caleb first met, and ITV has released a first look at the pivotal moment.<\/p>\n

The episode will reveal why the brothers are estranged and why Cain has kept his brother Caleb a secret for all this time, and will see actors Aiden Kane and Riccardo Drayton take on the roles of young Cain and young Caleb respectively.<\/p>\n

Chas is also set to feature in the flashback scenes, played by Maddy Barker, with the Boxing Day episode airing at 7pm on ITV1.<\/p>\n

You can get an early glimpse at the scene in which Cain and Caleb meet for the first time right here.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\""editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-preview-content=\"\" data-placement=\""Body"\">\n<p>This reveal comes ahead of Caleb\u2019s debut on the soap on Christmas Day, which was <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/emmerdale\/emmerdale-cain-brother-will-ash-waterloo-road-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">announced in November<\/a>. Will Ash will be playing the older version of the character, who is Cain\u2019s estranged brother who arrives in the village and disrupts the Dingle family\u2019s Christmas festivities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\""editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\" data-placement=\""Body"\">\n<p>We\u2019ve already been told that his arrival will further sour Cain\u2019s relationship with his sister Chas, who is furious that Caleb\u2019s existence was kept secret from her for decades.<\/p>\n<\/div> <p>Ash and Cain actor Jeff Hordley met with their younger counterparts at rehearsals before filming, with ITV releasing images of the quartet to coincide with the news of the flashback episode.<\/p>\n<p>Hordley recently revealed that he at first <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/emmerdale\/emmerdale-jeff-hordley-cain-storyline-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">wasn\u2019t sure about the prospect of Caleb being introduced<\/a> to the cast, but soon came around to the idea.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI\u2019ll be honest, I thought, \u2018A younger Dingle \u2013 what are they doing that for? Are they trying to replace me?!\u2019 because you always get a little bit protective about your character, and then to bring in a similar character\u2026 but when I found out it was Will, I thought it was great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels as if Caleb\u2019s been here for a long time \u2013 the character is written so well.
