Graham Catches Young Arsonist in Emmerdale Surprise Twist

Graham Foster takes action as another fire rages in Emmerdale, with a surprise outcome. The mystery of the Emmerdale arsonist has been baffling locals. It has been such a weird thing to do – at first, everyone thought some unidentified Moira hater was starting each blaze. When it became clear she was never the target, the whole motive was lost. Why burn the barns? There has been speculation doing the rounds as to who would do such a thing.

Kammy Hadiq's Strange Behavior

Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) fell into the suspect frame through strange behaviour and being caught with a petrol can. It has transpired that rather than setting light to the barns he was sheltering in them – he was homeless. The petrol he had was to burn his car for insurance. Then there was a little moment where it appeared Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) looked guilty and shifty all at once.

The Real Arsonist Revealed

This arsonist is no criminal mastermind – they might be running rings around everyone, but Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) is about to catch them out. That guilty look told the story – it is in fact, Kyle. Salty about losing his home and his family's stability, Kyle is taking his own revenge, but it's turning him into a pyromaniac. Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is all over the place and his hit and miss parenting is leading to the pyrotechnics. When he turns down spending time with his son, Kyle is disappointed and unsure of how to cope with these increasing feelings of abandonment. Cain is angry to find Kyle skipping school and moans to Kammy that Kyle is too fixated on sorting the Golf – their shared car restoration project. Kyle feels awful about this, he thought he and his dad had a lovely thing going.

The Car Becomes Collateral Damage

So, the Golf becomes the collateral damage to his teenage angst as he turns to his new obsession of burning things. Graham finds Kyle watching the car ablaze and dives in to save him. Then he realises Kyle was the one who did it. He is furious with the lad but quickly softens when Kyle explains why. It is not long before the smoke signal is spotted and others come running, forcing Kyle to hide. If Graham protects him, this could turn into a bigger storyline of Kyle's pyromania. Will Cain work out what his son is up to, and that he is partly to blame?
