Holly Barton and her family arrived in Emmerdale in 2009 and moved into Butlers Farm.
She recently got a namecheck when her mum Moira was feeling concerned about her brain tumour diagnosis and upcoming operation. Visiting Holly’s tree, she opened up to Matty about her fears. With Matty telling his mum that Holly would have wanted her to have the operation.
And tonight (Wednesday November 20) Holly appears to Moira as she goes under the knife.
Holly’s life ended tragically, but what was her story?

The arrival of Holly Barton and her relationship with Aaron in Emmerdale
Holly settled into village life quickly, securing a job at Home Farm, making friends with Maisie Wylde and starting a college course in Art. She soon met Aaron, who she was immediately attracted to.
When Aaron accused Holly’s father of assault, she tried to seduce Aaron in an attempt to get him to drop the charges against John. Aaron told Holly he’d drop the charges if she had sex with him. Holly was disgusted and walked out. But the two did end up dating.
It soon became obvious that Aaron was struggling with his sexuality and was using Holly to convince everyone that he wasn’t gay. Aaron tried to kiss Holly’s brother Adam. When Adam relayed this information to Holly, she didn’t believe him, but she did eventually break up with Aaron.

Drug addiction
Holly’s main storyline throughout her time in Emmerdale was her battle against drug addiction. She begun by using drugs recreationally and was sacked from Home Farm after giving Maisie cocaine on a night out.
Things spiralled for Holly and she spent her time with her friend Roz – who supplied her with the drugs. She was eventually thrown out of college.
Holly tried to get clean, but temptation was never too far away. On a night out with Aaron and Jackson, she bumped into Roz and once against took cocaine. Things got worse when she started flirting with a stranger to secure more drugs and took ecstasy, leading to her overdosing in the toilet. Fortunately, Aaron found her in time.
Holly’s addiction saw her stealing ketamine from vet Rhona and money from Scarlett’s purse. She stole Valium pills and items such as MP3 players that she could sell for more drug money.
When her parents demanded answers, Holly blamed Roz, but Roz told the truth – Holly had a serious drug problem. They tried to help her, but Holly ran away, only returning when she was tracked down or needed money.
John and Moira locked Holly in a room in an attempt to stop her taking drugs, but the withdrawal became too difficult and Moira ended up purchasing heroin for her daughter in order to wean her off drugs slowly.

John’s death and exit
Holly was devastated when she discovered that her mum was having an affair with Cain Dingle. Holly was determined to get her parents back together and was delighted when the plan worked. Along with her siblings Hannah and Adam, Holly booked a hotel room for their parents.
The trio were later devastated to learn that John and Moira had been involved in a car accident and John hadn’t survived. Holly tried to be strong for her mother, but couldn’t help feeling guilty, believing that her dad’s death was her fault.
She purchased some drugs, but was caught by Alex Moss before she could take them. However, on another occasion she did go through with it, but she convinced her family it was a one off.
Needing a clean break, Holly decided to leave the Dales in 2012 for London to live with Roz. Holly secured a job in designing and said goodbye to her family. Adam was upset, believing the family should stick together, but Holly was adamant and Hannah decided to go with her.

How did Holly Barton die in Emmerdale?
In 2016, Holly returned to Emmerdale, but it soon became clear that she had been taking drugs again. When her ex-boyfriend Dean turned up demanding cash for the drugs he supplied, she tried to bribe Charity into giving her the cash.
Holly was later attacked by Dean and found by Cain. Holly became attracted to Cain and tried to split him and her mum up, but it didn’t work and Moira told Holly to leave the farm.
After taking drugs again, Holly was found by her cousins Pete and Ross Barton and rushed to hospital. Moira promised to be there for her and help her through her addiction. Moira told Holly she didn’t want her to die and Holly promised to get clean again.
Holly found support from fellow drug addict Jai after meeting him at a support group and the two of them attended a wedding together.
The next day, Moira took some tea to Holly’s room, but seeing she was still asleep she left it there. Later, when Holly was still not up, Moira went to her daughter’s room once again and spotted a heroin wrapper on the floor. She struggled to wake Holly and it was later revealed that Holly had died from a heroin overdose.

In a change to the show’s usual format, Cain’s story will play out in reverse chronological order.
Speaking about this special episode, Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper said: “This conceptual episode is a tale of two halves as we explore Cain and Moira’s separate journeys on the day of Moira’s brain surgery.
“We firstly dramatise Moira’s experience as she undergoes the operation before breaking with soap form, and playing the second half of the episode in reverse order to reveal Cain’s journey, whilst Moira was in theatre.”
Here’s what is happening in Emmerdale tonight.

1. Moira goes in for surgery
Earlier this week, Moira Dingle returned home from visiting son Adam Barton. She wanted to see her older son as part of a “farewell tour” just in case the worst happens during her surgery.
She continued to plan for the worst case scenario, including writing a living will. This left Cain struggling to deal with an uncertain future. Tonight, it’s the day of Moira’s operation and Cain continues to struggle with the threat of losing his wife.

2. Cain has blood on his hand
Emmerdale’s special episode will follow Cain and show how he copes with the day as he anxiously waits for news.
Cain’s story will play out in reverse chronological order. It will start with Cain’s brother Caleb Miligan feeling dismayed to find Cain drunk and with bloodied hands. But what exactly happened beforehand to lead him to that point? And will Moira be okay?

Ross only returned to the Dales himself last month, but has already made his mark. He kissed former flame Charity Dingle and made an enemy of Mack in the process.
But as Ross flirts with Steph, does that mean a reunion with Charity is completely off the table?
What will happen between Ross and Steph? (Credit: ITV)
Ross’s history with Charity
The history between Ross and Charity is pretty messy. The pair enjoyed a couple of one night stands before Ross then started an affair with her daughter Debbie Dingle – who was engaged to his brother Pete. Keeping up?
Charity was sentenced to two years in prison for perverting the course of justice. While in jail, she gave birth to son Moses. She refused to say who the father was, but when Moses became sick, it was revealed that Ross was Moses’ father.
Upon her release, Charity tried to sell Moses to Ross’s parents – Emma and James, and Moses ended up living with them and Ross.
Charity and Ross continued to scheme together and shared another kiss, but she was in love with Cain. Following the acid attack, Ross turned to cocaine and ultimately left the Dales with girlfriend Rebecca to sort himself out.
When Ross told her he’d cancelled a rematch, Charity remarked that she liked “the new, mature Ross”. They later spent some time alone together and Ross was on full flirt alert.
After telling Charity he wanted to live with her and Moses he moved in for a kiss. Charity pushed him away and insisted she loved Mack. But the spark was there for all to see.
Ross told Charity: “I know you want me.” And it certainly looked that way to us. But with Steph now on the scene, are all hopes of a Charity and Ross reunion crushed?

Will Charity and Ross reunite in Emmerdale?
Despite not knowing each others’ names – and not wanting to – Steph and Ross went back to the B&B together.
Whatever happens, the chemistry between Charity and Ross will always be off the charts, so it’s fair to say a reunion between the pair is never off the table.
Michael Parr, who plays Ross, previously teased in an interview with The Sun: “You really can’t hate somebody who’s doing a great job of raising your most beloved possession.
“But it’s Ross, and it’s Charity. There’s always going to be fireworks.”
Not to mention, despite Mack’s recent redemption arc – he did still cheat on Charity and had a baby with someone else. Ross might not be The One for Charity, but he could be The One to show her she deserves better than Mack. We’re here for it.

Having previously been suspended from work, it seems a massive U-turn has taken place as Tom is back in his old job – and fans can’t believe it.
Just why did Tom lose his job and how has he got it back?

Tom suspended from the vets
Back in September, following Belle’s allegations of abuse, Vanessa and Rhona chose to sack Tom from the vets surgery.
The allegations are true of course, but Tom continues to insist he is innocent. Though the number of people who believe in him is getting smaller by the day.
Tom at first threatened to take the vets to court for unfair dismissal. More recently, he has taken to threatening Paddy.
Demanding his job back, Tom said he would no longer be victimised (yes, he really had the cheek to say this). He threatened to expose the vets wrongdoings, such as cutting corners and letting the Dingles off with their bills.

What happened in Emmerdale?
In Monday’s episode of Emmerdale (November 18), Cain Dingle asked Mack to call Paddy at the vets and get him to come and look at Moira‘s prize bull.
It was Tom who turned up – proof that Tom’s blackmail had worked its magic on Paddy. Cain was incensed – who can blame him after what Tom put Belle through?
Cain promptly told Tom: “You’re not going anywhere near my cattle.” But a smug Tom pointed out that their insurance wouldn’t be valid if they turned down medical care.
Not wanting any harm to come to Moira’s bull, Cain reluctantly agreed to let Tom do his job. But fans and us alike were all baffled that Tom had a job at all.

Fans baffled at Tom U-turn
Taking to X, viewers couldn’t believe that Tom had managed to get his job at the vets surgery back.
“Can’t believe Tom is back working at the vets,” one viewer said, while another fan wrote: “Tom’s got the Emmerdale bumpkins dancing to his tune.”
Another viewer wrote: “Has Paddy seriously given in and given Tom his job back? Wonder what Vanessa has to say about that?”
A fourth viewer asked: “Paddy took Tom back, I mean, what leverage has he got?”
On Cain’s reaction to seeing Tom, another fan quipped: “Tom as welcome as an outbreak of foot and mouth.”

During Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, Moira Dingle arrived home following a break away, but fans were distracted by her hair.
Moira left the village temporarily at the end of October with son Matty to visit her other son Adam.
With the date of her brain tumour operation fast approaching, Moira returned home – with a brand new hair-do.

What happened to Moira?
Over the summer, Moira suffered symptoms such as confusion, memory loss and seizures. She was eventually diagnosed with a type of brain tumour called a meningioma.
Although she was told it was non-cancerous, she will be having surgery to remove it. In recent weeks, Moira has been preparing for the worst case scenario should the surgery not go as planned.
Cain quipped that her reason for having to go and see Adam was that she needed to do a “farewell tour”. Moira also prepared a living will, which means her husband Cain Dingle won’t have to make any life-or-death decisions for her, should her surgery go wrong.
Emmerdale has even planned a special episode which will follow Moira’s brain surgery as Cain anxiously waits for news.
However, through all this turmoil, Moira still thought to take a trip to the salon – and fans are wondering what is the point?
Her new hair-so has baffled viewers (Credit: ITV)
Moira’s new hair-do
Fans have taken to X to express their confusion over Moira’s new blonde highlights.
“Why has Moira had her hair highlighted two days before brain surgery?” asked one fan, with another writing: “So Moira has a brain tumour but she’s come back looking tanned, hair done and on top of the world. Also she walked in on her own? The last time she was in it she couldn’t be left alone.”
A third fan added: “Like Moira‘s highlights. Bit of a waste when they shave all her hair off to operate on her tumour.” A fourth fan echoed this, writing: “Moira… new blonde highlights two days before a brain operation. Right…”
“Where has Moira been?! The Sahara??! That’s some suntan & glow up!” joked another viewer.Â
But perhaps, if you’re about to have life-threatening surgery, a spot of pampering is just what the doctor ordered?
In Emmerdale last week, Caleb Miligan and Ruby Fox-Miligan’s estranged daughter Steph arrived, but fans are baffled over her accent.
Steph’s brother Nicky arrived in the village two years ago, before leaving earlier this year. While Nicky had a Geordie accent, Steph sounds quite posh.
Fans have questioned the casting and wondered if the two grew up separately.

Who is Steph in Emmerdale?
Steph Miligan arrived in Emmerdale during Friday’s episode. During her so far short time in the village, a lot has been revealed about her relationship with her parents.
When she was 14, Ruby and Caleb decided she was out of control and she was sent to boarding school. Steph has had a tricky relationship with her parents, especially her mum, since.
But one thing fans noticed immediately about Steph was that she didn’t sound anything like any of her family. Caleb is Mancunian and Ruby is Southern. Meanwhile, Nicky, who left the village in the summer with boyfriend Suni, had a Geordie accent – we have no idea where he got that from. And now, to add to the mystery, Steph has come along sounding super posh.
To make things even more confusing, Ruby’s mum was a Liverpudlian!

Fans baffled over Steph Miligan’s accent in Emmerdale
Taking to X, viewers were quick to question why Steph sounded so posh. “Steph is rather attractive and rather posh whilst her brother’s a Geordie how the hell does that work out?” asked one fan.
With another fan adding: “Steph arrives and talks posh, yet her brother Nicky spoke Geordie, they must not have been raised together.”
A third viewer said: “I take it Steph grew up in a posh boarding school as she sounds [bleep] all like her brother. Or maybe Nicky was brought up in Northeast on the mean streets of the Jesmond area of Newcastle?” Another fan asked: “Why did Nicky have a Newcastle accent and Caleb, Ruby and Steph haven’t?”
Over on Reddit, one fan had this theory: “It would make more sense for her to be Geordie, but I know that’s very difficult to imitate. She could be quite a bit older than Nicky. It’s possible she was raised in the south and kept her accent when they moved to Newcastle.” With the posh accent presumably developing after she was sent away to boarding school.
We’re sure as time goes on, more will be revealed about the new mystery Miligan.
