Emmerdale spoilers! KIDNAP HORROR for Cain and Aaron Dingle!

Shock for Cain Dingle and Aaron in Emmerdale

Cain and Aaron Dingle have a nightmare on his hands when Charity's son Moses is abducted

Emmerdale plays host to a kidnap as Cain Dingle and Aaron Dingle's crime goes wrong in Tuesday's hour-long episode from 7pm on ITV (see our TV Guide for full listings).

As Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Aaron Dingle's (Danny Miller) stolen car drama unfolds, Charity's young son Moses – who has been dumped on Cain by heartbroken Charity (Emma Atkins) – is kidnapped by dodgy thug Sean! Will Cain and Aaron hand over the motor in exchange for the tot, or will the Dingle duo have a plan B up their sleeves?

Across the village, Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) and Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) are having child-related dramas too. The couple may think their sons Arthur and Archie are getting on but they couldn't be more wrong. But are they about to find out what's been going on behind their backs?

Though Arthur recently took younger Archie under his wing (when he recently returned to live with his dad after his mum Rachel died) friendship has not blossomed. In actual fact, Arthur's started bullying Jai's little son.

As Arthur's secret vendetta against Archie spirals, the lad knocks him so hard he passes out!

Fortunately, Archie comes to quite quickly but as Jai and Laurel tend to the lad they notice bruising on his body.

Covering up his guilt, Arthur quickly foists the blame on to Jimmy (Nick Miles) who's been minding the kids a lot since the school reduced its hours. Scared witless, Archie backs him up.
