  • Are Moira and Cain over for good? Natalie J Robb hints we shouldn’t give up hope yet

    Are Moira and Cain over for good? Natalie J Robb hints we shouldn’t give up hope yet

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, March 3), Moira Dingle told husband Cain to move out of the house, but is it really over for the couple?

    Last year, while Moira was undergoing an operation to remove a brain tumour, Cain took comfort in sister-in-law Ruby and they slept together.

    The truth about the fling was revealed last month. While Caleb and Ruby have managed to move on, it’s been more of a struggle for Cain and Moira. Will they be able to get through it?

    Moira tells Cain it’s over

    In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, Mack was ill, leaving Moira to rely on Cain Dingle to take her to her hospital appointment.

    While waiting at the hospital, Cain tried to talk to Moira again and insisted he wouldn’t stop trying to win her back.

    Moira sadly told Cain: “The part I can’t get past is you made me hate myself, hate my body for not working. And look at me now. I’m dependent on the man who betrayed me when I needed him the most.”

    Cain insisted they could fix it, telling her: “It’s us.” Moira promptly said: “Not any more, Cain.”

    As Cain pleaded with Moira and told her he’d do anything, Moira informed him she wanted him to move out because ‘it’s over.’

    Cain was of course desperate for this not to be the case, and while Moira said she knew he was sorry and that he loved her, she also said that sometimes love just isn’t enough.

    Back home, Cain begged Moira to ask him to stay. She couldn’t do that and took herself to the bedroom, where she broke down in tears on the bed.

    Natalie J Robb gives fans hope

    Cain and Moira have long been a popular couple, and many have called for them to not be split up over this latest indiscretion.

    The pair share so much history and fans have taken them to their hearts, so it would be a massive decision to split them up, not to mention an incredibly unpopular one.

    But there is good news for fans. Previously speaking at a press event, Natalie J Robb, who plays Moira, hinted that the long-term future for Cain and Moira looks promising.

    “I think it is really important that they stay together,” she said. “Marriages go through things. There is temptation. There are things that can happen. If everybody just gave up after the first hurdle of marriage, people would just not get married now. It’s so easy to get out now.”

    Natalie continued: “A lot of people do go through things. Affairs, different things, financial problems. There could be lots of things that happen that pull you apart. But then things can push you together again. Which I think is nice to play.”

  • Is Ned Porteous leaving Emmerdale as Joe Tate again? Here’s all we know

    Is Ned Porteous leaving Emmerdale as Joe Tate again? Here’s all we know

    Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale saw Joe Tate confronted over his affair with Dawn – sparking rumours he’s leaving the soap again. Caught in the act by snooping Lydia, Kim demanded to know what he’d been playing at.

    Disapproving of his manipulation of vulnerable Dawn, Kim set forth an ultimatum. As he insisted that their affair was all for Dawn’s benefit, concerned Kim told him that he needed to stay away from Dawn or else he’d find himself out on his ear, with no way back.

    “You know how I deal with people who cross me,” she snarled, before storming off. Will Joe heed Kim’s warning, or will he continue playing with fire?

    Yesterday, Joe confirmed that things with his health had grown increasingly bad – telling his doctor that he ‘doesn’t have long left.’ If he hopes to survive whatever’s wrong with him, Joe needs to step up his plan… whatever that is.

    Between Kim’s ultimatum and Joe’s declining health, things aren’t looking good. But is actor Ned Porteous about to leave Emmerdale again?

    Is Ned Porteous leaving Emmerdale as soap confirms Joe is on death’s door?

    The soap has yet to confirm whether Ned Porteous will leave Emmerdale this year. His return was announced last year, with actor Ned teasing what Joe was up to by saying: “There’s a lot of unfinished business for Joe, and it feels like the right time for him to make a comeback.”

    However, neither he nor ITV revealed whether Joe’s return to the Dales is a permanent one. And, as his health continues to worsen and Kim steps up the pressure, it seems as though he’s running out of time.

    Meanwhile, Emmerdale spoilers for next week have confirmed that Joe plans to leave Home Farm in the wake of Kim’s discovery.

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday): Kim issued a threat to Joe after catching him out and more heartbreak for April

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday): Kim issued a threat to Joe after catching him out and more heartbreak for April

    In Emmerdale tonight, April Windsor returned to school, but she she was disheartened to hear some of her classmates talking about her.

    Elsewhere, it was Jacob’s birthday and he got emotional when he found a present his mum had purchased before she sadly died.

    Here is the full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday, February 28).

    April went back to school

    Yesterday, April made the brave decision to go back to school. However, it wasn’t a successful day and April ended up leaving early after hearing two girls talking about her.

    While April was in a cubicle, two girls entered the toilet. One mentioned that April was back at school and referred to her as a “freak”.

    The girls continued to slag April off, saying she looked “dead rough” and “have you seen the state of her?”

    They also speculated about who the baby’s father was. “That’s what happens when you have a baby with someone on drugs,” said one of the girls, while the other girl said she had heard it was a mate of April’s dad.

    April was also referred to as a “slapper”, while one girl said: “My mum said it’s always the ones who make out they’re little miss perfect,” and called her a “silly cow”.

    All the while, April was upset in the cubicle listening in. Poor April. Once the girls left the toilets, April crept out too and left school. This caused Marlon and Rhona to worry that she’d run off again, but she soon returned home.

    Jacob struggled with his grief

    Sarah found Jacob Gallagher at Leyla’s office, where he apologised to her for shouting at her over Noah.

    It was also revealed to be Jacob’s birthday. He showed Sarah a present he’d found under his mum’s desk. Jacob opened it and became emotional to see it was an engraved stethoscope. 

    He also opened the card, which had the message: “Happy birthday to the best son in the universe, the best doctor in the world and the love of my life now and forever.”

    Later, in the pub, Jacob was struggling to work through his grief. Belle sat with him and spoke about what it was like when her mum died. Jacob soon decided that his mum wouldn’t want him wallowing on his own on his birthday.

    Dawn and Joe were caught in Emmerdale tonight

    Joe caught Lydia trying to go through his drawers. She pretended she was putting ironing away, but Joe knew she was lying.

    Later, Dawn continued to flirt with Joe, telling him everyone was out. But Joe pointed out that ‘Inspector Clueless’ was there, referring to Lydia.

    However, Joe didn’t need much persuading and he agreed to meet Dawn at the cottage. Lydia decided to follow him. She was shocked to see him kissing Dawn and took a photo – not so clueless after all.

    Joe returned to Home Farm later to find Billy. Billy confided that Dawn is always too busy for him lately. Joe appeared to have a conscience briefly as he told Billy he was sure it would all work out.

    After learning the truth from Lydia, Kim later spoke to Dawn, informing her that she loved Billy Fletcher for his decency and honesty that others don’t seem to share.

    Before Kim could go any further, Dawn was called away to her son. Kim decided to confront Joe instead, telling him she knows about Dawn. She told him that Dawn is vulnerable, but his response was simply to say Dawn needed an escape because Billy is boring.

    Kim threatened to tell Billy and kick Joe out if Joe doesn’t put a stop to it. But will he listen to her?

  • Emmerdale star Liam Fox reveals eight year cancer struggle following surgery

    Emmerdale star Liam Fox reveals eight year cancer struggle following surgery

    Former Emmerdale star Liam Fox has revealed how he had an operation in February to remove a patch of ‘carcinoma’ from his skin after being diagnosed with skin cancer.

    The actor, 54, left the soap two years ago after 12 years of playing Dan Spencer. During this time, Liam had grown concerned that a patch of flaky skin on left temple might be something more serious.

    First noticing signs of skin cancer in 2017, Liam wasn’t diagnosed until January 2024 – subsequently undergoing an operation to remove the patch of skin.

    Emmerdale star Liam Fox reveals cancer diagnosis and surgery

    In an interview with The Sun, Liam said: “I went to the doctors and they said ‘Oh no, it’s just flakey skin’ it’s fine, it’s nothing to worry about. A few weeks later I went back to them again because it was still there, I just wasn’t happy with what they’d told me, it just didn’t feel right.”

    He continued to go to the doctor to seek help, who diagnosed him with a condition called ‘Solar Keratosis,’ and giving him cream for the problem. This cleared up the issue until a year later, when it returned.

    After doctors took a sample, he was promised that he’d have answers within six months. However, this wasn’t to be, and a year passed before Liam sought help again.

    “I told them that I really needed to sort it out as it was still bleeding. The woman on the desk said, ‘Oh yeah, you should have been seen by now.’ I got a meeting at the hospital a couple of days later. The doctor that I saw admitted that I should have been seen much sooner,” said the actor, who left the soap in 2023.

    He continued: “It was January 2024 by this point. They finally told me that it was a ‘carcenoma’ we’ll have to get that out. They don’t grow very quickly but we’ll get it sorted.”

    Liam Fox undergoes surgery for skin cancer

    After the NHS told him that his operation wouldn’t be for another six months, Liam kept pushing. Doctors eventually gave him a surgery date in February.

    “A carcinoma tends to just damage the surrounding area. It can invade and go into your bones and your skull and cause damage, but they seem quite happy that it’s all gone okay,” the Dan Spencer star revealed.

    “I feel alright, and everything is healing nicely. I only went in for the day and had some local anaesthetic and they cut it out. They seem quite happy that it’s all gone okay. I’ve got to go back in six weeks for a routine check-up.”

    The actor has kept fans updated with a number of posts to his Instagram account. Last month, he shared a series of images of the post-surgery scars, reminding sun-lovers to take care.

    “Been waiting ages to have a basal cell carcinoma removed… finally sorted at the fabulous plastic surgery dept at #StHelens #Hospital …what an absolutely superb fun friendly team #SkinCancerAwareness #sun #lotion #NHS #NHSApp,” Liam wrote in a post in February.

    “Keep out of the sun when we get it folks,” he added.

  • Fans blast ‘hypocrites’ Moira and Caleb as they forget huge details amid Cain and Ruby fling aftermath

    Fans blast ‘hypocrites’ Moira and Caleb as they forget huge details amid Cain and Ruby fling aftermath

    Fans of Emmerdale have slammed the hypocrisy of Moira Dingle and Caleb Miligan in their continued treatment of disgraced love rat Cain. Last week’s episodes saw Cain tell Ruby about his fling with Ruby while Caleb plotted to bring down his brother.

    Since then, Cain has been in the doghouse with both Moira and Caleb. And, with Kyle learning about the affair too (thanks to Mack’s big mouth), he’s persona non grata among most of his family at the moment.

    What Cain did was terrible, of course (no-one’s trying to defend a man cheating on his wife while she’s undergoing brain surgery!) but many have found the behaviour of Caleb and Moira to be a bit hypocritical.

    Emmerdale fans defend Cain amid hypocrisy of Caleb and Moira

    Writing on social media, fans shared a reminder of Caleb and Moira’s own history of unfaithfulness.

    “I think the Moria and Nate storyline was way worse tbh! Your wife having a long affair with your son??” wrote one fan – recalling how Moira had an affair of her own with Nate, back when he joined the village in 2019.

    “Ruby and Cain happened once, Moira had an ongoing affair with HER HUSBANDS SON, Caleb had an ongoing affair with his NEPHEWS WIFE!!!” said another, referencing Caleb’s own affair with Nate’s wife, Tracy.

    A history of cheating in Emmerdale

    And Moira and Caleb aren’t the only ones. Who among the Dingle clan is able to claim innocence, when it comes to cheating?

    “Half of them didn’t have a leg to stand on whilst they’re all shouting at Cain. Caleb has had multiple affairs and flings. Mackenzie fathered a child with Chloe. Mandy cheated on Paddy and Paddy has cheated on his wives Rhona and Emily,” a third pointed out.

    “Such a pack of hypocrites. So many of them have had numerous affairs,” a fourth said.

    Has the family gone too far by shunning Cain?

  • What is John Sugden hiding? From undercover police officer to harvesting organs, all the theories on who he really is

    What is John Sugden hiding? From undercover police officer to harvesting organs, all the theories on who he really is

    Since joining Emmerdale, John Sugden has been the subject of immense speculation among fans, all unsure of what his game is. As a long-lost member of the Sugden clan, he’s held his cards close to his chest, initially coming across as cold, aloof and… well, maybe a little bit creepy.

    He’s opened up a bit since then, mostly in his relationship to Aaron Dingle. They’ve gone from strength to strength since Aaron attacked Anthony Fox – with John helping Aaron to cover up the murder.

    Aaron may not have been the one who actually delivered the killing blow (that would be Ruby), but he’s been instrumental in hiding the crime – and Anthony’s body. However, his willingness and capability in covering up a murder has some suspicious, and his treatment of Aaron lately has raised a few red flags too.

    What’s John Sugden up to?

    Many think John killed Nate (Credit: ITV)

    Is John Sudgen an Emmerdale serial killer?

    The prevailing theory is that John is a secret serial killer. This month’s revelation that Nate Robinson is dead and hiding at the bottom of a lake has all but confirmed the theory for some. Many think that John killed Nate – and could kill again.

    “Is John going to be the latest serial killer to grace the village? I can’t think of anyone else who’d kill Nate,” wrote one fan on the social media site X.

    “John is very defensive, I’m calling this Nate storyline the sub story for the year will gain traction through.. John isn’t who he says he is.. Aidan Moore .. serial killer just what the village of the damned need,” said another.

    “I think it’s John. He could be a serial killer. He cleaned up Anthony body and got rid really well,” said a third.

    Undercover police officer

    Another – highly conflicting – idea is that John is actually an undercover cop, working to bring down the Dingles.

    “I think John is lying and I wonder if he is an undercover police officer? Remember last year John told police about the illegal boxing,” suggested one viewer.

    “Is GI John still a police informant?” asked another.

    Joe Tate in Emmerdale

    Is John Sudgen organ harvesting for Joe on Emmerdale?

    Elsewhere in the village, sickly Joe Tate is fighting for survival. And, as he took a turn for the worse last night, it became clear that he’s got a big job to complete if he wants to survive. Some have wondered whether the two stories might be related.

    Is John working for Joe to get the transplant he needs?

    “The person Joe is in cohorts with is John- the reason he ‘took care’ of Anthony’s body is to harvest his organs. My tinfoil hat said so,” suggested one fan.

    “Emmerdale prediction: John (who is actually Aiden Moore) is connected with Joe, and was involved in the drugging of Noah,” said another.

    Fake Sugden

    Whatever John’s up to, many can’t let go of the suspicion that John isn’t who he’s claiming to be. John seemed to clear up the confusion over the Aidan Moore dog tags by explaining to Aaron that Aidan had been a friend who died in Afghanistan, but viewers aren’t buying it.

    “Is “John” really “John” or is he really Aiden Moore, the man he had the dog tags for? Has he stolen his identity for some reason?” asked one viewer.

    While lots think that ‘John’ could secretly be Aidan Moore, others think that Aidan was one of John’s previous victims… furthering the serial killer theory.

    “THEORY – John killed Aidan and Nate,” one fan wrote.

    What’s John hiding?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight? April made a big decision and Ross threatened Joe

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight? April made a big decision and Ross threatened Joe

    Tonight in Emmerdale, Noah had a chilling memory from the night he was drugged. After questioning if Joe Tate had been there, Ross took matters into his own hands and kidnapped Joe.

    Elsewhere, April Windsor made a big decision about her stillborn baby.

    Here’s a full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale’s hour long episode tonight (Thursday, February 27).

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: The mystery with Joe continued

    While talking to Noah, Joe said: “All this hassle is just temporary. You just gotta get it over with.”

    This caused Noah to have a flashback to the hospital on the night of the limo crash, where a doctor asked “Are you sure you want to go through with this? It’s not too late to back out now.” Joe was there where he said: “We’ve come this far. Just get it over with.”

    Noah then asked Joe if he was there on the night he was spiked, describing his memory of ‘something like a hospital.’

    Joe denied all knowledge and said that being ‘injected’ with drugs must have messed with his memory.

    Charity then told Ross that it was weird that Joe said ‘injected’ when no one knows that’s what happened to Noah. 

    Later, Ross threatened Joe and took him to a barn and demanded to know what Joe did to Noah. He held a needle with drugs in and threatened to use it on Joe if he didn’t talk. 

    Joe then showed Ross boarding passes on his phone and said he was actually in the air the night of the limo crash. Hmmmm…

    Ross left Joe locked in barn ‘for the LOLs’ but Joe managed to escape and get home. After calling someone for help, he passed out on the stairs.

    A man arrived and helped Joe upstairs saying, ‘let’s do this.’ The man later asked Joe: “Do you think you’re fit to be conducting however many other covert operations in addition to ours? Because I don’t. I think it’s, erm, idiotic.”

    The man then pointed at a case and said it’s not a long term plan. Joe said the long term plan they do have needs to hurry up, adding: “I’m not sure how much time I’ve got left.” What exactly is their plan?

    April made a big decision in Emmerdale tonight

    Marlon, Rhona and April met with the counsellor – Trina, where Marlon suggested they should register April’s stillborn baby’s birth. April remained reluctant though.

    When alone with Trina, she admitted she felt guilty for not appreciating the nice house she has and admitted to missing her friends on the streets.

    April later told Marlon and Rhona that she was ready to register the baby’s birth. She named her Rebecca after her late friend Becca.

    Following that, April announced that she wanted to go back to school the next day. Is it too soon?

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph was suspicious of Ruby

    Caleb couldn’t find Ruby. But we later saw her in the woods where her father is buried, talking to him . She screamed that she feels guilty and is a bigger mess than ever before.

    Cain Dingle found her and Ruby told him she doesn’t know how to be normal about it.

    Cain gave Ruby a lift home and dropped her off in the village so that no one saw them. However they were spotted by Steph – who just so happened to be standing in that part of the village.

    Steph returned home and told her dad that Ruby is still seeing Cain. Ruby explained that it was innocent. But Steph knows something is up and is determined to find out. 

    Elsewhere in the village

    Cain continued to be hated and Kyle told him he didn’t want him at his football tournament. Later, Cain arrived home to see Moira and Caleb laughing. He commented that it looked ‘cosy,’which is rich coming from him after what he did with Ruby.

    Meanwhile, Kim continued to be suspicious of Joe and brought Dawn into her plan, telling her to keep an eye on his shifty behaviour.

    Follow-up: As Joe falls extremely ill and ‘doesn’t have long left,’ will he die? All we know

    Ill Joe Tate took a turn for the worse in Emmerdale last night, as he was kidnapped by Ross and left fighting for his life as he collapsed back at Home Farm. Ross struck as he and Charity grew suspicious and became convinced that he’d been responsible for Noah’s spiking.

    Joe dropped himself in it by suggesting that Noah had been ‘injected’ with something, his choice of words cluing Ross into the fact that Joe knows more than he’s letting on. Later, he confronted Joe, dragging him into a barn and tying his hands.

    Joe fell seriously ill on Emmerdale tonight

    As he threatened to inject Joe with a mystery concoction, Joe’s health began to worsen. And, as Ross left Joe tied up and alone in the barn, he continued to grow sicker and sicker.

    Joe managed to free himself, stumbling back to Home Farm. He made a call to his doctor before passing out on the stairs.

    His doctor found him there soon after, ushering Joe to his room where – making excuses to Dawn – he recovered. Joe’s out of the woods for now, but it’s clear he’s on borrowed time.

    “The long term plan we do have needs to hurry up,” Joe admitted as his doctor ushered him back to bed. “I’m not sure how much time I have left.”

  • Newcomer Rich is Al Chapman’s secret son, a new fan theory predicts

    Newcomer Rich is Al Chapman’s secret son, a new fan theory predicts

    A new Emmerdale fan theory has arisen, suggesting that Jacob’s pal Rich could be the secret son of soap lothario Al Chapman. Rich has been the talk of the town this week after he became prime suspect in having spiked Noah.

    Noah’s so-called spiking, in turn, set into motion a calamitous sequence of events. wandering in the middle of the road, Charity almost ran over her own son, having been driving a limo full of women (and Liam) at the time.

    Swerving to avoid her son, she crashed into an ice-covered lake. During the crash and in its aftermath, three people were killed – Suzy, Leyla and Amy. In the days which followed, Noah and Charity searched for answers, reasoning that he must have been spiked.

    Did Rich spike Noah?

    It was then that Charity set out on the hunt for Rich. With Noah having intercepted a drink meant from Belle, everyone figured that Rich must have spiked it. He had previous for dodgy behaviour too, being caught with a bag full of cocaine in The Hide.

    But with Rich managing to convince Charity and Belle he was innocent, she switched her suspicions back to Joe. And, as Noah suffered flashbacks to Joe standing over him in a mysterious hospital room, she may just be right. Did Joe drug Noah?

    Meanwhile, some viewers have pointed out that Rich looks somewhat familiar. Is he the son of a former village resident?

    Rich is the secret son of Al Chapman, Emmerdale fans predict

    Writing on social media as this week’s episodes aired, fans shared their thoughts on Rich’s parentage. And some wondered whether he might be the son of one Al Chapman.

    “Jacob’s friend looks like Al, anyone remember him? He was Chas’ ex fella,” wrote one fan.

    “His secret son?” a second wondered.

    “He [Al] was a dirty dog if I remember correctly so probably,” a third agreed.

    Could Rich be Al’s son?

    Love rat Al was the former lover of Chas Dingle. After a lengthy affair, he died – killed by young Kyle, who’d been protecting his dad. But, as one fan rightfully points out, Al was famed for his putting it about. Could he have a son in Rich?
