The toddler made a rare appearance in the ITV soap this evening, but not as viewers had seen him before.
Instead, Cain’s (played by Jeff Hordley) child with Amy Wyatt (Chelsea Halfpenny), usually played by Huey Quinn, was sporting strawberry blonde hair opposed to the black locks audiences have become accustomed to.
In turn, Emmerdale viewers dashed over to Twitter to ask, “What’s going on?”
“That can’t be Kyle,” cried one viewer. “Since when did he have ginger hair?”
Another asked: “Why did they give Kyle a new head?”
“Never mind that, how’s Cain’s lad gone from Jet Black hair to Strawberry Blonde?” gasped another bewildered fan, which was followed by: “Didn’t know 4 year olds could die their hair (Kyle) am I wrong or is that the same kid.”
Elsewhere in tonight’s eventful instalment of the ITV soap, Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) finally got their revenge on Ross Barton (Michael Parr) by crushing one his treasured taxis.
What’s more, they later stumbled across the Barton’s secret cannabis farm and naturally began twiddling their thumbs for a new plan.
Express.co.uk has reached out to an Emmerdale spokesperson for comment on this story.
Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.
