Jeff tol the publication: “Mark and myself have just been really enjoying these sparring matches. But I do think he’s met his match – maybe on both counts,” Jeff said.
“As the story will play out, we’ll find out,” he added.

The actor has also revealed that his character certainly has a shelf life, and is unsure as to when his time on the television show will come to an end.
He said: “I’ve enjoyed playing Cain it’s been a huge part of my life. I’m very close to him and protective over him. But inevitably there will be a day where the script writers or the producers say it’s the end of the line.”
