They took their time, but the Emmerdale police have finally recovered the video footage from Tom King‘s tablet that proves he’s been abusing wife Belle Dingle. Hallelujah!
Tom was charged with coercive controlling behaviour and assault against Belle. No doubt fans of the soap will be delighted Tom’s reign of terror has finally come to an end. Or has it? Is this really the last we’ll see of him? Knowing Tom King, is he actually likely to go down without a fight?

What happened to Tom in Emmerdale tonight?
Tom’s creepy behaviour reached new heights on Tuesday November 26 when he snuck into the house, stole Belle’s top and then gifted it to Amelia. However tonight, he was not happy to see Amelia wearing the top – obviously worried he was about to be caught out.
He hit out and told her it wasn’t a work outfit and she was to go home and change. But before she could, Belle arrived and saw Amelia in the jumper. She realised what Tom had done and rushed off.
Amelia then went to see Tom and nervously questioned him about where the top came from. He went mad, grabbed her forcefully by the arm and dragged her out of the house. Amelia shouted he was hurting her and the whole thing was witnessed by Jimmy – and DS Foy! YES!
Tom was hauled down the station and advised to contact his solicitor. The police had finally recovered the footage from Tom’s tablet – they have proof he’s been watching Belle. Tom tried to talk his way out of it, but it was to no avail. DS Foy later arrived at the pub and told Belle her husband had been charged. And as well as that, she is not being pursued for axing him in the back.
It’s win, win all round – or is it? Because we know Tom, and we know he won’t stop fighting…

Has Tom left Emmerdale?
It has been said actor James Chase, who plays Tom, is leaving at Christmas. Earlier this year he revealed to Entertainment Daily that he always knew Tom has a “shelf life”.
He said: “He can’t get away with it. [Belle] needs justice for what happened to her and I think also the viewer needs that. From all the hell we’ve seen Belle get put through, we have to see her win in the end or at the very least, for him to lose.”
James continued to say Tom needs to go to “prison at least”.
And now he has been arrested and charged, is that it?
There’s more to come for Belle (Credit: ITV)
What happens next? It’s not over…
Emmerdale released a trailer last week of what’s to come this week as Tom faces justice. And there are scenes shown in that that we have yet to see on screen – pretty scary ones at that.
Tom was shown pushing Belle against a car as he shouts at her: “You always have to take things too far.” Meanwhile, a worried Cain and Charity were seen in a car rushing to the rescue. With the walls closing in, what will Tom do?
So it’s safe to say, this is not the end of Tom – yet.
Emmerdale has confirmed it will be a happier Christmas for Belle, so we know it’s over soon. But has Tom saved the worst for last? Just what will he do? And what will happen to him?

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King brought to justice as he was charged by DS Foy for his treatment of Belle. Not only that but the case against Belle has been dropped.
Colour us relieved. But is it really over?
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 27.
Tom’s reign of terror seemingly came to an end in Emmerdale tonight
Belle knew it was her top, but Amelia seemed confused (Credit: ITV)
Belle was convinced Tom had won
Unable to sleep and worried about Tom’s ongoing presence, Belle visited Zak’s grave. She knew Tom was stalking her again, but she couldn’t prove it. Belle is sure the police are not on her side.
Meanwhile, Amelia gave Tom a haircut and he was all over her. However he was not happy to see she was wearing the top he ‘bought’ her. He told her it wasn’t a work outfit and she was to go home and change. Kerry interrupted however with a chewing-gum-in-hair emergency. She also overheard Tom’s tantrum and warned Amelia once again against Tom.
Belle then arrived and saw Amelia in the top. She realised what Tom had done and rushed off.

Tom lashed out – and was taken to the station
Amelia went to see Tom and nervously told him what Belle had said about the top going missing. He went mad and Amelia immediately backtracked. Tom grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the house. Amelia cried he was hurting her and the whole thing was witnessed by Jimmy – and DS Foy! YES!
Tom was hauled down the station and advised to contact his solicitor. The police have footage from Tom’s tablet at last – they have proof he’s been watching her. Tom’s solicitor advised him not to say anything, but his arrogance was such that he felt he could talk his way out of this one as well.
Back at the cafe, Jimmy was concerned, he tried to get info out of Belle who was shocked to hear Tom had been taken away by the police.
Belle was overwhelmed by the news the police believed her (Credit: ITV)
Tom charged!
And it seemed Tom’s rage still didn’t convince Amelia Belle was telling the truth. She still defended him to Kerry. But then she broke down and told Kerry what had happened with the top. She later arrived at the Woolpack with the jumper, just in time for another important arrival…
At the pub, DS Foy arrived to talk to Belle and told her the forensics team has retrieved the files and Tom King has been charged with coercive controlling behaviour and assault against her. And the police are not proceeding with any case against Belle for axing him.
This is great news, but is it really all over? Is that the last we are going to see of Tom?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Pollard’s plans concerned Brenda
Pollard is still worrying Brenda with his speedy wedding plans and engagement party for tomorrow. Leyla could only get the Hide at such short notice, but Eric wasn’t impressed and wanted to spoil her. As Brenda started to ask more questions, Eric fobbed her off and sent her shopping.
Are relations between Steph and Ruby thawing? (Credit: ITV)
Ruby tried again with Steph
Ruby was still struggling and Chas offered counsel over family troubles. She used her own problems with Aaron to encourage Ruby not to give up on Steph.
Ruby then went home and shared a drink with Steph. But once again it turned into an argument and Steph stalked off. Ruby managed to persuade her to stay.
Ella’s determined to catch Liam out – and her behaviour is becoming obsessive (Credit: ITV)
Ella was on to Chas and Liam in Emmerdale tonight
Liam was trying to leave the surgery, but Ella booked him a last-minute appointment. However, he dashed off and just as he and Chas were ripping each other’s clothes off, John burst in and caught them! He quickly made his exit and even stalled Ella on their behalf. Liam then snuck out and asked John to keep their secret. John agreed, but insisted they had to tell the truth to Ella and Aaron.
Liam then lied to Ella about where he’d been and she checked up on him by phoning the patient he lied about. Busted Liam.

Emmerdale tonight reunited Kim and Will at last – but it turns out he’s got himself into a mess with Peter, who has he been working with to bring Kim Tate down. Oops.
Meanwhile, Amelia fell back into Tom’s arms when he brought God into the equation. But Sam wasn’t having any of it and went straight to the police.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday November 25.
Will and Kim reunited – but there was a twist in Emmerdale tonight
Ross and Will made a deal (Credit: ITV)
Will’s alive!
Ross burst into Kim’s and told her Will was dead. He even showed her photographic evidence. Ross claimed he had put Will in the back of the van and rolled it into the quarry.
Kim was devastated and aggressively threw him out. Lydia then arrived, but Kim just sent her home. And then Will walked in. A bit battered and bruised, but alive. Turned out Will and Ross made an arrangement to trick Kim into thinking he was dead.
Kim and Will finally got back together (Credit: ITV)
A much longed for reunion
Kim insisted she’d never meant to kill Will, she just wanted an end to all the arguing (you and us both). And before we knew it they were admitting they still loved each other and were kissing.
After an afternoon in bed, Kim called off the divorce and they agreed to start again. No more secrets. Which obviously means there are LOTS of secrets still to come.
Will has been working with Peter (Credit: ITV)
And then the twist…
Sure enough, Will went to meet none other than Kim’s former flame Peter! It turns out they have been working together to bring Kim down.
Will tried to call the deal off, but Peter threatened to tell Kim everything. His threats left Will in a very tricky position indeed. Will he bring Kim down? Or will he do the sensible thing, confess to Kim what he was plotting and team up with her to stop smarmy Peter.
Well, when did anyone in Emmerdale ever do the sensible thing?
Tom won Amelia over – but not everyone else in Emmerdale tonight
Amelia forgave Tom, but Nicola still didn’t want to know (Credit: ITV)
Tom’s prayers were answered
Nicola was not interested in Tom’s excuses over why Amelia had been upset the previous week. He then headed to the church supposedly to pray, but actually to manipulate Amelia.
He spun her some nonsense about how he often comes to talk to God in the church, which obviously won Amelia straight over. Tom then talked about them getting engaged one day – but he said they had to grow their love first. For goodness sake, when we’re done retching, we ask again: when will Amelia see sense?
Amelia then went to see Nicola and explained what had happened – or at least what Tom had manipulated her into believing had happened.
Sam is desperate for justice to be done in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV)
Sam went to the police
Amelia later suggested she and Tom read the Bible together as an evening’s entertainment. But Tom sweet talked her into planning their future instead – moving away together.
Sam overheard everything and insisted he would never let Esther go anywhere with an abuser. Sam said Belle was coming home tomorrow and was ready to take Tom on. But Tom insisted the police would never believe Belle over him.
Desperate to do something, Sam stormed off to the police station and cornered DS Foy, begging him to stop Tom. Foy assured him he understood it was frustrating and they were trying all they could to build a case. There’s not long to wait now, justice is about to be served.
Moira’s confidence has taken a knock (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Chas and Liam had another clandestine meeting – out in the street. Chas then went to visit Moira who was worried about Cain and what she’d put him through. If only she knew. She didn’t want Cain to see her like this, but Chas urged her to be proud of her body and what it has done in fighting back.
Cain later went to see Moira and she didn’t want to see the kids. She told Cain she’d felt awful next to Ruby the previous day. Cain insisted she was beautiful inside and out and Ruby would never even come close. So how will he explain the fact he slept with Ruby while Moira was having brain surgery, then?!

It has been announced that Daisy Campbell will exit Emmerdale as Amelia Spencer at Christmas, but we don’t know how she will leave yet. Daisy has admitted in an interview that she was told the news earlier this year, but the choice to leave was not hers.
Speaking to The Mirror Daisy admitted: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first. Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting. Once they explained, I totally got it.
“Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”
Speculation began a while ago over how Amelia will leave and with the scenes airing very soon (yes, Christmas really is just around the corner!) her exit will be upon us before we know it. But are scenes in Monday November 25’s episode setting up her exit storyline?

Tom suggests moving away to Amelia in Emmerdale
As Amelia remains smitten with Tom and constantly looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles, Tom manages to charm her again tonight. He pretends he’s really into God too and they pray together. He then suggests he’d like to put a ring on it, before bringing up the idea of moving away from the village to start their life together.
Could this be her exit from the soap? Will Amelia leave to start again with Tom? Is that how he goes too?
After so much tragedy in her young life, will Amelia leave on a high and get her happy ending? Or will there be more trauma ahead? Here are all the theories on her exit.
Tom’s mask is starting to slip in front of Amelia (Credit: ITV)
1. Tom to kill Amelia?
Okay, so Daisy has ruled out Amelia dying with her comments to The Mirror: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.” However, could this just be a red herring? It wouldn’t be the first time the soap has tricked fans…
Things are getting so tense between her and Tom right now and next week will mark a turning point as Amelia starts to see his true colours. He lashes out at her during a bonfire night outing and it’s enough to make Amelia stop and think.
Plus, we’ve already had scenes of Amelia’s death when Belle imagined her different futures. They were particularly harrowing, but was this foreshadowing what’s to come?
Some fans certainly seem to think so with many commenting on social media: “Tom will do something to her.”
It would also leave Esther to be brought up by her grandparents, Sam and Lydia and we can think of worse things than them having a child to focus on.

2. Amelia to kill Tom?
In a twist, could the roles be reversed? Could Amelia be the one to lash out in self-defence and kill Tom? Belle has already attacked him with an axe, but he survived. He also survived an electrocution in Moira’s barn. Will Amelia deal the fatal blow to her abusive boyfriend when it gets too much?
And if she does, would that send her to prison? Or would she take Esther and go on the run to avoid jail?
“What if she kills Tom?” wrote one fan. Others agreed they would be happy with this outcome.
Amelia is blind to Tom’s terror (Credit: ITV)
3. Amelia to leave Emmerdale with Tom to start a new life
We’re really not on board with this theory, but could Amelia fall so far under Tom’s spell they up and leave Emmerdale together?
Tom has now suggested as such, much to the disgust of Sam Dingle, who has begged the police to stop them. The cops aren’t able to do anything right now as they don’t have enough evidence to act.
So will Amelia be whisked off to a life of fear and terror? If Tom gets his way, she will do.
4. Off to uni
Some fans have speculated that university is in Amelia’s future. She always was a brain box and was expected to achieve great things. But having Esther caused trouble with her schoolwork and she’s struggled to get back on track, working in Mandy’s salon to make ends meet.
But could all the nasty Tom business cause her to have an epiphany and realise that she does want to make the best of herself? Will she leave to get a better education and put her past behind her?

5. Amelia to leave Emmerdale and live with her dad
With the man she thinks of as her dad, Dan, in prison could she leave to live with her uncle-who-is-actually-her-biological-dad, Daz. He’s her only remaining family member, other than her brother Sean, so if she realises what a mess she’s made in the village and needs to cut ties, Daz is the only real person she could turn to.

Emmerdale tonight saw Cain Dingle feeling really sorry for himself and Ruby doing a really bad job of keeping their liaison a secret.
Meanwhile, Tom continued to try and manipulate everyone, but neither Nicola nor Vanessa were giving him an inch. Jimmy’s still an idiot, though.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday November 21.
Cain and Ruby struggled with their secret in Emmerdale tonight
Cain was by Moira’s side, but he felt guilty (Credit: ITV)
Things weren’t going well for Cain
Cain sat by Moira’s beside having flashbacks to what happened the day before. Charity later checked in on Cain, trying to get him to open up, she promised not to judge… Cain confessed he had done something very stupid. But he only told her he had beaten up Jimmy. Then he cryptically told her to keep hold of Mack and not mess it up. However, he still didn’t confess what had happened with Ruby.
The police turned up to arrest Cain while he was at Moira’s hospital bedside. Not sure they would do that, but then again it wasn’t PC Swirling or DS Foy, so who knows who these other cops are! At the station, Cain went with the ‘no comment’ angle and soon he was back at the hospital.
Moira then found out she had to wait a few weeks for the results of her biopsy. She may continue to have seizures and will be emotionally vulnerable. The doctor took Cain aside and insisted someone needed to be there for her, to which he promised he would be that person.
Cain and Ruby then met in the village and traded more insults about whose fault it was. All this arguing in the street might just cost them their secret, if you ask us…
Things weren’t much better for Ruby (Credit: ITV)
Ruby messed up
Ruby was doing her make-up and didn’t sleep. Guilty conscience glaringly obvious or what?!
Meanwhile, Caleb assumed it was all about her dad and encouraged her to speak to Anthony and say what she needs to, while she has the chance.
Anthony and Steph were in the cafe, when Ruby entered and asked for a word alone with her father. Ruby told him to leave and never come back. He seemed to agree very easily. So what’s going on here?
Steph was not happy to hear Anthony was off to Portsmouth and immediately laid into Ruby. Ruby desperately tried to make Steph see Anthony was a bad man, but Steph stayed firm and then Caleb took Steph’s side and devastated Ruby stalked off.
Steph then agreed to take Caleb’s job offer, but she needed to read the small print first, he commented she wouldn’t be his daughter if she didn’t. And we might be jumping to conclusions, but we’re just not convinced Steph is Caleb’s daughter.
Caleb then found the morning after pill in the bin. He went to discuss it with Cain and just as Cain was about to confess, Caleb said he thought it was Steph’s after she slept with Ross.
Relieved Cain told Caleb to leave it alone and Caleb decided he was right. Cain has dodged a bullet at this point after Ruby’s mistake, but for how much longer?
Jimmy won Nicola’s sympathy, but not ours (Credit: ITV)
Nicola moved back in and Tom continued his tricks in Emmerdale tonight
Battered and bruised Jimmy was seeking sympathy after Cain attacked him. He got it from both Nicola and Laurel. Not from us, though!
Nicola promised to always be there for Jimmy and she decided she and the kids would move back home. She insisted Jimmy called the police on Cain, though.
Meanwhile, Tom was at the vets trying to make small talk with Vanessa. But she wasn’t interested in having any sort of conversation with him. In fact, she let him know she knew exactly who and what he was.
Tom continued to try and intimidate her and take over her appointments, but Vanessa stayed strong. He kept trying to manipulate her, making subtle threats about employment tribunals. However Vanessa was not even remotely bothered by him and his pathetic behaviour. We’ve never liked her so much.
When he returned home Nicola was very clear she hadn’t forgiven him and she still didn’t believe him. The walls are closing in on Tom, that’s for sure…
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Kim wants Will gone, he’s not budging and it’s all a bit boring (Credit: ITV)
The Kim and Will saga dragged on
Kim and Will are still trading barbed comments at Home Farm. Will has seen his solicitor and thinks mediation is a good idea. Kim does not. Instead she offered him £100k – a first and final offer – she wants Will gone and this is what she thinks it will take.
Will wasn’t going anywhere though and told her the answer was no. Then Dawn turned up to whinge about her problems some more. But she told Will he was in the wrong over Kim and he should have taken the £100k. He promised her, she wouldn’t have to worry about money ever again.
Steph surprised Ross (Credit: ITV)
Ross and Jai’s robbery went wrong
Ross and Jai started doing their dodgy dealings in the cafe, and they weren’t talking particularly quietly, but they are plotting to steal all the mobile phones in Yorkshire as they come through Caleb’s depot.
Jai kept watch while Ross snuck in and stole a van. He drove it off to an empty barn with the music blaring, but the smug grin was wiped off his face when he opened the back door to find Steph there.
Ross claimed he had taken the van to check the brakes for Jai. She accused him of theft and kidnap as he tried to talk his way out of it, but she ended up kissing him. She even gave him one box of mobile phones for his efforts. But they turned out to be a box full of dancing Father Christmas’s. Oops.

Emmerdale tonight had us crying and screaming in equal measure. Holly Barton’s return was sweet and moving, but Cain sleeping with Ruby was possibly the most crazy decision the soap has ever made. Why? Just why?
Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 20.
Moira’s tale in Emmerdale tonight
Things were tense as the medical team prepped Moira for her operation (Credit: ITV)
Moira went in for surgery
As Moira was waiting with Cain for her surgery, he was still in denial over the situation. Moira demanded he go home, she was worried about him being aggressive with the doctors and nurses.
They shared a tearful hug before Moira was taken away, but Cain couldn’t tell her he loves her. He then went to work, despite Sam’s protests he couldn’t just ‘bog off’. Sam insisted Cain was going to do something stupid, but Cain stormed off.

Holly ‘returned’ for Moira
As Moira went under she went into a dream state and found herself lying on the sofa with Kyle and Isaac playing beside her. She was then transported outside as the boys played football and she walked out into the sunlight (beautifully reflecting Moira’s new blonde highlights, we must say!)
Then came shock twist number one: Holly Barton returned. Moira’s daughter Holly died in a heartbreaking overdose in 2016, but here she was sitting next to her mum. They shared a tearful catch-up as the doctor’s voiceover discussed the tumour being a higher grade than they thought. Holly apologised for leaving her and making her mum so sad. But then the doctor’s voice burst again in saying Moira was having a seizure and had lost a lot of blood.
It seemed like Holly was encouraging her mum to let go and be with her, but as they walked off, Moira couldn’t go with Holly, she needed to check on the boys, meaning Holly had to go alone. Moira was not ready to leave her boys yet.
Moira was then seen alive and in recovery, being woken up by the nurse. The operation went well and it’s all over.
Cain then arrived at the hospital and was actually grateful to the doctors and nurses for saving Moira’s life. He finally told Moira he loved her, but it was clear something was troubling him…
Cain’s tale in Emmerdale tonight

Jimmy got a beating
And then we cut to Cain‘s experiences over the last four hours. We saw him slugging whiskey with bloodied hands where Caleb found him and went nuts.
The clock then wound back to Cain drinking and Jimmy approaching him. Jimmy laid into him over the Tom and Belle situation. Talk about timing, Jimmy! So Cain then did what Cain does and beat him up!
Cain and Ruby was all kings of wrong and we do not approve (Credit: ITV)
Cain and RUBY??!!
We went back again in time again, with Cain closing up the garage and Caleb approaching, they rowed and then we went back another hour. And then can shock twist number two: Cain was doing up his shirt – and Ruby was there putting her own clothes back on.
Back we went another 45 minutes to see Cain sulking and drinking in a car at the garage when Ruby came in. It sort of came out of nowhere: they argued and Cain brought up her dad – before they suddenly kissed passionately. WHAT THE HELL?!
We then went forward to Cain arriving at the hospital to see Moira and find out how the operation went. The doctor said the tumour was out and she was confident the surgery went well. Cain was so relieved, but couldn’t see her – the guilt overwhelming him. Ruby then texted him telling him today had never happened.
Oh Emmerdale, what have you done? This was a bad, bad move. Not one single viewer will be happy about this, we can guarantee it. Why can’t you leave couples alone?
Whoever thought up this storyline twist? Off with their heads!

Emmerdale has aired unthinkable scenes tonight as Cain Dingle slept with sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan while his wife Moira was having brain surgery.
Viewers around the country – and indeed at Emmerdale Insider – gasped in horror at the shocking twist and it’s fair to say they were not happy at all.

What happened in Emmerdale tonight?
Moira was scared as she waited for the operation to remove her tumour, but Cain was rude and aggressive. Moira sent him away so he didn’t insult all the doctors and nurses while she was under.
He stomped off while Moira was put to sleep and she went into a parallel universe where she was reunited with dead daughter Holly. As Holly tried to persuade Moira to be with her, in the real world, the operation became more complicated.
But not allowing herself to be led off by Holly, Moira chose to stay with her boys, Kyle and Isaac, and survived the operation. Phew!
But it was when Ruby arrived at the garage, hiding from her dad, that things got really bad. She and Cain started trading insults then out of nowhere started kissing. There was barely even any sexual tension, it was just anger from both of them.
After sleeping together they both insisted it had never happened and no one could ever find out – which means everyone will find out before too long, this is Emmerdale after all.

Emmerdale fans blast Cain and Ruby cheating decision
So tonight’s episode begs the question: What was Emmerdale thinking? Why on earth would they have Cain do the unthinkable and cheat on Moira when she is so vulnerable?
And just as Ruby is starting to become likeable and have more to her than just her plotting and sharp tongue, she goes and sets herself back. So far back, in fact, she’s almost too far gone.
Fans definitely agree! They felt the soap had hit just the right notes with the first half – and then totally ruined it with the second.
“First half of that episode was brilliant, Natalie is truly phenomenal. The second half of that episode was the biggest [bleep] storm ever to grace our tv screens. Protect Moira at all costs now,” said one on X.
Another addressed the soap directly: “Dear Emmerdale, how can you do something as lovely as the first half of tonight’s episode and then do something as horrible, inexplicable and utterly out of character as in the second? Who thought that was a good idea? Because it wasn’t.”
“I’ve just watched Emmerdale and I legit cannot focus on anything else. What the actual [bleep] have I just watched? What is going on? Who am I? What planet is this?” raged one more.

‘Completely unnecessary’ slam fans
A fourth said: “Completely unnecessary and ruined an otherwise brilliant and emotional episode.”
“Have no words for the second half of tonight’s Emmerdale. Well done EDHQ for ruining such an important story with a pathetic plot device!!!!!” added a fifth.
A sixth wrote: “I am genuinely so mad about tonight’s Emmerdale. So unnecessary and unrealistic. Why have they had to do this in what was such a beautiful episode?”
“It’s such a shame because it was an episode of two halves. A lovely first half with a nice twist and then a horrible second half with a twist that didn’t need to happen whatsoever.”
No one is happy – can Emmerdale ever redeem themselves – and Cain after this?

After months of living with a brain tumour, Moira Dingle is going under the knife to have it removed in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday November 20). And as she prepares for the worst, what does this mean for actress Natalie J Robb’s future on the show? Is she leaving Emmerdale?
Well, Emmerdale has not confirmed or denied an exit for Moira, but Natalie herself has hinted Moira is going nowhere. In an interview with Emmerdale Insider, she said there was “more to come” for her character. And after tonight’s episode (no spoilers here!) we certainly think there is!

Moira has brain surgery in Emmerdale
Moira’s odd behaviour started some months ago. She was either snappy and nasty to everyone or overly affectionate. She also forgot things she said and did – particularly the bad stuff. The farmer even made a pass at Nate Robinson, Cain’s son, which nearly resulted in the end of their marriage.
Moira was then diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumour. At first she adopted the ‘wait and see’ approach – living with the tumour and seeing if it developed and got worse. Cain was not on board with this and insisted she needed to have the op as soon as possible.
With her seizures worsening and her not being allowed to be alone with her kids or work on the farm after she killed her sheep, Moira knew he was right.
She has been practical about it, preparing a living will, visiting her eldest son, Adam, to say goodbye should the worst happen and trying to get Cain to accept she could die. All except the latter have gone well. Cain however, is not facing up to any of it and is brushing it under the table.
Tonight Moira goes in for the operation. The episode will be another format-breaking one for Emmerdale as the first half tells Moira’s story. The second half then tells Cain’s story in reverse chronological order.

So does Moira survive the surgery?
Although we don’t know for definite yet, it looks like Moira will make it through, which means Natalie J Robb is going nowhere.
Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Natalie recently said: “There’s still some things obviously to come out and I [Moira] still have to go through some treatment afterwards as well. So, we don’t know if everything is going to be hunky dory. But, there could be some slight personality change. It could be that she just deals with things differently because she’s been faced with such an ordeal.”
Ordeal or not, we’re just glad that Moira pulls through and Nat not leaving. Now as for Coira, that’s a whole other story…
