    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: We finally know what’s wrong with Moira as she and Cain make it out alive – but where is Nate?

    Emmerdale tonight told several things we already knew: Moira and Cain survived the barn explosion and we now know what’s wrong with her. But there’s no sign of Nate, who’s believed to have gone to Shetland. Has he though?

    Also, Tom is still missing and Belle’s worried sick he’s been hurt by Cain.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday September 12.

    Moira is alive – and we know what’s wrong with her!

    Behold! Cain and Moira emerged from the barn under the burning blanket having somehow survived that explosion. God knows how.

    John then stepped in and got Moira breathing again. And the emergency services finally arrived – about time!

    At the hospital, Moira was stable, but Cain wasn’t really interested in going to see her. He has decided things are over and her nearly dying changes nothing. Oh Cain, from hero to zero in just 10 minutes. Chas gave him a talking to though and in he went. Croaking and dazed, Moira wanted to explain herself to her husband, but Cain wouldn’t even hold her hand. He just demanded the truth.

    Even in all of this, he was still more concerned about why she kissed Nate. Moira insisted she didn’t know what she was doing – and her fears something was very, very wrong. Still, Cain wasn’t interested – his pigheadedness is getting about as annoying as Tracy right now.

    Moira continued to explain her hallucinations of Emma Barton, but it was only when Moira had a seizure in front of him that he finally, finally saw this was serious. The doctor then did a CT scan and we at last know what’s wrong with Moira: she has a mass putting pressure on her brain.

    Cain then changed his tune pretty quickly and comforted his wife, insisted she was going nowhere and nothing she had done had been her fault. We don’t like to say we told you so, Cain, but you know, we did. At least he feels remorseful now and is blaming himself for not helping her. But is it too late for sorry?

    Nate listens

    Where is Nate?

    Vanessa doesn’t believe Nate would cheat with Moira of all people, but Tracy was adamant Nate did it. She won’t hear him out and insisted they were done. Gosh her wallowing is getting really annoying.

    John later mentioned to Tracy that Nate definitely wasn’t there when the barn was burning. He said Nate had already gone to Shetland. Has he though? Has he really? Without so much as an exit scene? Hmm…

    Meanwhile, Tracy is now worried Nate will meet someone else in Shetland. So you don’t want him, but you don’t want anyone else to have him? Make up your mind love!

    Turns out she wanted a big dramatic goodbye with Nate and is upset she didn’t get it. And there was so much talk between Tracy and Vanessa about how Nate will always be there and he’ll call and send presents and be in Frankie’s life. It was all a bit OTT, hammering home how Nate is fine.

    Oh and then Cain told Caleb: “I’ll be lucky if I still have a son.” If all this isn’t signposting Nate’s death, then we don’t know what is! Is there a shock (not shock) coming?

    Tom was still missing in Emmerdale tonight

    Vinny comforted Belle who was upset over her situation. She confessed Tom was abusing her and she thought he would have killed her. But Belle was still panicking about whether Cain had hurt Tom.

    Meanwhile, Jimmy locked horns with Charity in the pub as he defended his nephew. The battle lines have been drawn and it’s Dingles versus Kings. We know who our money is on…

    Amelia confided in Kerry that Belle was spreading lies about Tom. But it was clear Kerry was concerned Amelia had been sucked in. However, she went to the pub and revealed all to Chas, who was shocked. Finally Emmerdale has brought Chas into the storyline – it’s about time!

    As Chas blamed herself, everyone is really worried about missing Tom and whether Cain has done him in. So where is Tom?

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    We’d almost forgotten about Will – and so had everyone else, but at the barn fire Chas realised he was missing. Mack located him around the side, unconscious. Mack shouted for help with far more gusto than he’d used about his sister in the previous episode.

    Will was taken to hospital where he was hopeful of a reunion with Dawn when she came to see him. But she was just checking he was okay and off she sulked to cut her nose off and spite her face again.

    We finally found out more about John – he was an army medic. He was hailed a hero in the pub, but found all the attention uncomfortable. As he had a drink with Aaron, Aaron tried to persuade him to stick around and it’s clear his feelings for his ex’s half-brother run deep.

  • Fans slam laid-back Mack for barn fire reaction: ‘he couldn’t sound less concerned’

    Fans slam laid-back Mack for barn fire reaction: ‘he couldn’t sound less concerned’

    Fans of Emmerdale have called out chilled Mack Boyd for his entirely underwhelmed reaction to this week’s calamitous barn fire. As a confused Moira inadvertently sparked a blaze which trapped her and Ruby inside the barn, Mack was the first on the scene.

    Speeding over on his quad bike, he met John at the barn doors – and established that Moira was inside. As John tried to get inside, Mack called for help, alerting Chas and Cain.

    This done, he then joined John inside, and the pair set about trying to rescue Moira and Ruby. And surely Mack would be desperate to save his sister from a painful death, right?

    Right?

    Mack and John to the rescue… but mostly John

    By the time Cain arrived, Mack was back outside the barn, claiming that he’d been unable to find Moira.

    Ruby, meanwhile, was safe and sound (smoke inhalation notwithstanding), having being carried out by the heroic pair.

    But fans were quick to notice how calm Mack seemed about the whole situation – especially given that his sister was inside the barn, potentially burning to death.

    Emmerdale fans slam Mack over barn fire reaction

    As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Mack’s surprisingly calm reaction.

    “Cain saving Moira whilst useless Mack just leaves his OWN sister in there to burn!” exclaimed one fan on X.

    “Mack couldn’t sound less concerned on the phone,” noticed another.

    “Mack sounded like he didn’t give a [swear] that his sister was in a burning barn,” pointed out a third.

    “I’m not a fan of the Mack/John acting right now, they’re a bit too calm for my liking,” said a fourth.

    Military man John we can excuse, but not Mack, who didn’t seem too worried about his sister meeting a grisly end.

  • Emmerdale fans ‘raging’ after last night’s explosion cliffhanger

    Emmerdale fans ‘raging’ after last night’s explosion cliffhanger

    Fans of Emmerdale have been left raging following the explosive cliffhanger last night’s episode of the soap left viewers to reckon with.

    In the continuation of Monday night’s barn fire storyline, viewers were on the edge of their seats as Moira Dingle‘s family rushed to the scene of the blazing inferno.

    And, as Cain tried desperately to save his wife, both of their lives were left hanging in the balance.

    Moira and Cain trapped as the barn fire escalates

    After calling Chas and Cain to alert them to the situation, Mack and John rushed inside. The pair managed to rescue Ruby, but Moira remained trapped inside.

    Brushing off a terrified Chas, Cain stormed into the barn to rescue his wife. And, as the pair became trapped inside, an enormous explosion rocked the bystanders outside to the ground.

    With Cain and Moira still unaccounted for, things don’t look promising for the married couple.

    Who lives? Who dies? Fans will have to wait until tonight to find out… and they aren’t happy about it.

    Emmerdale fans ‘raging’ as soap airs massive cliffhanger

    Taking to social media as the episode aired, fans shared their frustration at the soap leaving them hanging.

    “Why leave it there @emmerdale #raging,” wrote one infuriated fan on X.

    “The cliffhanger omg,” said another.

    “OMG OMG. I couldn’t breathe watching that and now I’ve got to wait until tomorrow to see if my favourite couple or [sic] okay,” a third fretted.

    “Don’t leave us on cliffhanger like that my Coira heart can’t take it,” another stressed.

    Who will survive and what will be left of them? And will viewers ever recover from the stress?

  • Does Cain die in Emmerdale? All the reasons we think he’ll survive

    Does Cain die in Emmerdale? All the reasons we think he’ll survive

    A huge explosion ripped through the barn in Emmerdale last night with Cain and Moira still inside – but does Cain die? We don’t think so!

    Come on, this is Cain Dingle we’re talking about! The man has more lives than several cats put together. Plus, he’s smack bang in the middle of a huge storyline, so there’s no way they’d just end it there… Or would they?

    Does Cain die in Emmerdale?

    So on Wednesday September 11 the barn fire Moira accidentally started when she shot at Ruby Fox-Miligan was still raging on. Mack noticed the smoke and raced over on a quadbike, then John arrived, the emergency services were called and the pair went inside the burning building to try and rescue Moira.

    But instead they found injured and barely conscious Ruby and carried her to safety. Mackenzie insisted he hadn’t been able to find Moira due to all the smoke and flames.

    Chas, Cain and Caleb raced over to the barn and there was no stopping Cain from rushing in to rescue his wife. He located her and worked to get them out of there. Moira, who thought it was hopeless, told Cain that she loved him.

    He wasn’t giving up though, and covering them both with a huge blanket, he tried to lead them out to safety. But before they could get outside, the barn exploded. Those outside including Chas, Mack and John were thrown to the floor and Chas screamed, knowing her brother had almost certainly perished.

    Indeed, it doesn’t look at all like anyone could survive that blast. Anyone except Cain Dingle…

    Come on, Cain can’t die in Emmerdale!

    It is very clear to us that Cain won’t die. There’s three very good reasons we think he’ll still be alive tonight…

    Moira stares
    Moira stares as she blacks out again (Credit: ITV)

    1. Moira’s storyline needs wrapping up

    It’s been clear for all to see that there’s something seriously wrong with Moira. She has been having seizures and hallucinations and lashing out without remembering she’s done it. Cain and co think it’s the menopause, but fans are pretty sure it’s a brain tumour.

    But with any diagnosis yet to be given, they can’t kill Cain off in the middle of this storyline, surely?!

    Plus, Jeff Hordley told Lorraine during behind-the-scenes filming that there is “more to come” in the aftermath of the fire and seemingly confirmed Cain and Moira will both still be alive.

    Tom looks sweaty and worked up as he watches Belle in secret

    2. Cain needs to take on Tom

    Cain has just found out about his sister Belle’s abuse at the hands of Tom King. There is no way Emmerdale would deny us a showdown between the pair, it’s what we’ve been waiting for.

    Although Belle has insisted she doesn’t want Cain to lash out in violence, he at the very least has to make Tom suffer somehow – even if that’s just being by Belle’s side and defending her every step of the way.

    Cain cannot die with Tom still getting away with it!

    3. He’s Cain Dingle!

    This is not the first fire Cain has survived. He was pulled out of a garage fire started by Adam Barton. And he has had so many brushes with death there’s too much to mention!

    But his lucky escapes have included a brain aneurism, being attacked and left for dead by his father, Zak, a car smash involving Al and an attack by Aaron Dingle.

    Cain always comes out on top and we have no reason to think any different this time. Or at least we hope we don’t!

  • 3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Butlers barn is still alight as the emergency services arrive on the scene

    3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Butlers barn is still alight as the emergency services arrive on the scene

    In Emmerdale spoilers for Thursday September 12, emergency services arrive at the scene of Butlers barn explosion. The building is engulfed in flames and there’s an anxious wait to find out who has survived.

    Chas, Mack, John, Caleb and Ruby are amongst the terrified onlookers, desperate for news on Moira and Cain. But have they made it out alive?

    Butlers barn is still ablaze in Emmerdale spoilers

    1. The terror continues at Butlers

    A deadly blaze has ripped through the barn at Butlers, putting numerous lives at risk. The fire began during a showdown between Moira Dingle and Ruby Fox-Miligan.

    Moira is in the grips of a health crisis, even though no one knows what’s wrong with her. But don’t get us started on that one.

    When Ruby confronted Moira at Butlers she started to hear the voice of her old nemesis, Emma Barton. Freaked out, Moira fired her shotgun and hit a lightbulb, which caused a fire to ignite.

    Moira and Ruby were trapped as the barn went up in flames. Mack and John rushed to the rescue and risked their own lives by entering the burning building. Cain and Chas were next to arrive at the scene along with Caleb and Will.

    After John and Mack dragged Ruby out, Cain ran into the barn to save his wife. But then the whole place exploded and they hadn’t got out. As devastated Chas screams for her brother, will he and Moira survive the blast or is that the end for them?

    The village is in a state of shock in Emmerdale spoilers

    2. The locals witness the devastation

    In the aftermath of the explosion, there’s confusion and panic all around.

    Locals gather at the scene of devastation and watch on in horror as the barn continues to burn. It’s not long before the emergency services arrive on the scene to help tend to the casualties.

    How many fatalities will be amongst them?

    3. Matty faces an agonising wait

    Stood with the rest of the terrified villagers is Moira’s son, Matty.

    He knows Moira was caught up in the inferno, but has no idea if she’s dead or alive. Matty has had to deal with terrible tragedy in his life. His father John was killed in a car crash and his sister Holly succumbed to a heroin overdose. Those Bartons are certainly a cursed clan.

    Is Matty about to lose his mum too?

    As Cain and Moira are caught in the explosion, who dies in the barn fire?

    An explosion rips through one of the barns in Emmerdale this evening, while Cain and Moira are trapped inside.

    As the force of the Emmerdale explosion knocks the shocked onlookers off their feet, things look bleak for everyone who’s nearby.

    But will everyone make it out alive? We took a look at everyone who’s there when the barn burns, and who could end up dead!

    Ruby

    As a frantic Caleb arrived at the barn in tonight’s episode, brave Mack was emerging from the flames holding Ruby. She may be out of the fire itself but she’s badly injured and was suffering from a head wound before the blaze took hold. Could she be one of the casualties?

    Will Moira die in the Emmerdale explosion?

    Moira started the fire when she fired her shotgun and caused sparks to ignite the petrol-soaked hay in the barn. But it’s clear she’s not herself and she was hallucinating when Ruby confronted her. With Moira already vulnerable and obviously unwell, will she even attempt to make it out of the flames?

    Cain

    Moira’s husband Cain has gone into the flames to rescue her but though Moira was more alert when he arrived, it looked grim. With their way out blocked by the fire and cans of petrol, it didn’t seem like there was any way to make it to safety. Undaunted, Cain wrapped a tarpaulin round them both and tried to get Moira to the door – just as the barn exploded. Will he make it out alive?

    Caleb Emmerdale
    Could Caleb be in trouble? (Credit: ITV)

    Caleb

    Soaps are tricky things and sometimes you think someone is in dire straits, only to discover they’re fine and it’s the person who seemed okay all along, who’s in trouble. So while Caleb seemed to be only worried about Ruby, he was knocked off his feet when the barn exploded and we can’t help wonder if he might have injured himself?

    Will looks worried on Emmerdale (Credit: ITV)
    Will’s in all sorts of trouble but does that include perishing in the fire? (Credit: ITV)

    Will

    Still focused on his blackmailer’s relentless messaging, Will wandered off to take a phone call while the flames raged. He wasn’t with the others outside when the barn exploded. Was he too close for comfort? Could this be a really extreme way to put an end to his blackmailer’s demands?!

    Mack and John Sugden fight their way through the flames in Emmerdale

    Mackenzie

    Mack is not at his best right now, having just recovered from being attacked by a bull. He bravely ran into the flames to rescue Ruby but could this be the thing that finally finishes him off? He’s survived the bull, a stabbing, Meena’s maize maze blaze, the dramatic accident that saw his car plunge off a cliff, and the wrath of Charity when she found out he’d cheated. Is it going to be the barn fire that ends him once and for all?

    Could John be hurt in the Emmerdale explosion?

    Newcomer John is right there when the barn explodes. He seems unscathed as he sits up, shocked at what just happened. But he was inside the barn with Mack and smoke can cause a lot of damage. Is Victoria about to lose another brother?

    Chas and Cain run towards the burning barn
    Is Chas going to be one of the casualties? (Credit: ITV)

    Chas

    Chas may have stayed outside the barn, agonising over Cain’s bravery as he headed into the flames, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. Could she have banged her head when she was thrown to the ground by the force of the flames? Perhaps she’s so worried about her brother she hasn’t even yet noticed her own injuries…

    Nate looks concerned
    Where is Nate? (Credit: ITV)

    Nate

    The last time we saw Nate, he said he was going to talk to Moira. We didn’t see him leave for Shetland and he’s not been seen since. Everyone in the village thinks he’s upped and gone. BUT… are we putting two and two together and coming up with five, if we say, perhaps he’s in the barn too? Or nearby somewhere? Perhaps he’s badly injured or even dead and no one knows to look for him!

  • Emmerdale tonight: Cain and Moira presumed dead after explosion rips through the barn

    Emmerdale tonight: Cain and Moira presumed dead after explosion rips through the barn

    In Emmerdale tonight it looked like Cain and Moira had perished when the barn exploded with them still inside. Is there any way they can make it out alive? Surely this can’t be the end for the soap power couple…

    The barn fire continued in Emmerdale tonight…

    John and Mack rushed to save the day

    Moira came round and tried to rouse Ruby, who was out cold. Then she found out locking the barn from the inside hadn’t been her smartest move as she couldn’t get out.

    Meanwhile, Mack saw smoke coming from the barn and raced over there on his quad bike. John also arrived swiftly and took charge of the situation. Mack called the emergency services, with a serious lack of urgency in his voice, it has to be said – come on man, your sister’s in a burning barn!

    Elsewhere, Chas was trying to get through to Cain with them all still thinking Moira was going through the menopause. For crying out loud, clearly there’s something much more seriously wrong with Moira! Then they got the call that the barn was on fire and they needed to go, fast.

    Cain raced in to save Moira

    In the burning barn, John and Mack had located Ruby. They managed to get her out just as Cain, Chas, Caleb and Will arrived. But with no sign of Moira, Cain raced into the burning barn to save his wife. The one he had declared things were over with.

    He found Moira and she told him she loved him. They then got themselves under a blanket as Cain tried to lead them to safety.

    Cue some very dramatic music that sounded a bit like the Casualty theme tune, as they tried to get out and then the barn exploded. With no sign of either Moira or Cain outside.

    Thrown to the ground by the explosion, Chas screeched: “Caaaaaaiiiinnnn,” as she knew her brother had quite possibly perished.

    But this is Moira and Cain, they aren’t gonna go like this, are they? Surely we need to find out what’s wrong with her and have a glorious reunion? Then again, there’s really no way anyone inside could survive that explosion… We’ll just have to leave it to the greatest hospital on earth, Hotton General, to work their magic.

    And by the way, what’s taking the emergency services so long?!

    Tom continued to manipulate in Emmerdale tonight

    Rhona and Vanessa took action

    Rhona told Vanessa Tom has been abusing Belle. Rhona felt awful she didn’t spot the signs, but Vanessa was more concerned with getting rid of him. They agreed he was gone.

    Tom arrived and overheard Vanessa and Rhona slagging him off. But Vanessa was pretty upfront about it, telling him they wanted him gone for good. Tom threatened them with an unfair dismissal case as they didn’t have any evidence, but they stood their ground. However they were left feeling shaky after Tom’s reaction.

    Jimmy then found Tom brooding and caught a glimpse of his temper as he snapped at him. Is Jimmy finally seeing what his nephew is really like?

    Nope!

    Obviously Tom managed to manipulate him again to his side. Great. Good one Jimmy, you idiot.

    Amelia stood by her man

    Elsewhere, Belle went to visit Amelia to try and talk some sense into her. But Amelia stood firm and then Jimmy arrived and said Tom had disappeared. Charity and Belle begged Amelia to see sense, but Jimmy continued to side with Tom and Amelia decided to believe him instead.

    And then they all started to worry Cain had dealt with Tom. They needn’t have, though, he was far too preoccupied with a burning barn.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Will was packing the money for the blackmailer, when Kim walked in. He lied to her he was going to try the new gym in Hotton. But she got very seductive and suggested they found another way to burn off his energy. He shrugged her off saying they needed to take things slowly as it was too important to him. Hmm, was that a wise move? Do you turn Kim Tate’s advances down and live to tell the tale?

    As Will then arrived at the blackmailer’s meeting point, he saw Caleb who told him about the fire. Will rushed off to help. And missed his meeting with his tormentor. Which he will surely live to regret.

    Meanwhile, hypocrite Tracy was upset over Nate and Moira and said she should have known he would never change. Er, hello pot, this is kettle. Anyone else getting really fed up of Tracy being so self-righteous?

  • As Moira and Ruby are trapped in the flames – a warning to Emmerdale residents to steer clear of barns!

    As Moira and Ruby are trapped in the flames – a warning to Emmerdale residents to steer clear of barns!

    Barns in Emmerdale aren’t just for storing hay, or keeping animals away from the elements. Oh no. In Emmerdale, barns are super dangerous places, where you could burn in a raging fire, be held hostage by a vengeful enemy, get shot at, or even be electrocuted!

    But don’t take our word for it – we’ve trawled the Emmerdale archives to find the most dangerous, shocking and downright disastrous events that have taken place in barns.

    Here’s our round-up of the biggest dramas that have happened in barns in Emmerdale!

    Kyle shoots Al

    Al Chapman met a sorry end in a barn, when young Kyle Winchester accidentally shot him. Kyle was watching on as his dad Cain argued with Al, wanting him to leave the village. And when Kyle picked up the shotgun Cain had brought with him, he accidentally pulled the trigger. Al died, and Cain took the blame for the killing at first, before Kyle confessed. Eventually the case against Kyle was dropped.

    Paul Ashdale’s truck horror

    As Mandy Dingle prepared to marry Paul Ashdale, she was unaware that he had been abusing their son Vinny. Vinny’s girlfriend Liv, though, knew what was going on and she headed up to the barn where the wedding was being held, ready to confront the groom.

    Faced with Liv’s accusations, Paul lashed out, but as he attacked Liv, Jimmy was driving past in a truck. He lost control and the truck smashed into the barn. Liv and Jimmy both survived, but Paul was killed. And no one really missed him!

    Tom’s shock

    When Tom King discovered his wife Belle had been to an abortion clinic and lied about it, he was furious. So furious, in fact, that he smashed up the barn. But while he was getting aggressive with inanimate objects, he accidentally hit the barn’s isolator with a metal bar. Sparks flew as an electric shock knocked Tom out cold.

    Moira and Emma’s blazing barn barney

    When Ruby confronted Moira this week, the struggling Ms Dingle thought Ruby was Emma Barton. She was remembering the dramatic scenes when she and Emma came face-to-face in a barn as Emma confessed to killing her husband, James. The confession led to a struggle, which led to a lamp being knocked over and the barn going on fire. Oh and while all that was going on, Moira was in labour having not even known she was pregnant. Pretty dramatic, huh?

    Wylde confession

    Right, listen carefully because this is a bit complicated. Nathan’s mum, Natasha, murdered his dad, Mark and Nathan found out. Nathan managed to pin Mark’s murder on his half-brother Ryan Lamb, who went to prison for the crime. But Cain Dingle kidnapped Nathan and together with Nathan’s sister, Maisie, held him hostage in a barn. They tried to get Nathan to confess to the murder only to be shocked when Nathan revealed Natasha was the killer!

    Debbie’s revenge

    Debbie Dingle fell head over heels for Cameron Murray, unaware that a) her aunt Chas was also sleeping with him and b) he’d turn out to be one of Emmerdale’s most sinister serial killers. Deb was terribly upset when she found out about Chas (though not as upset as she was when she found out about the whole murderer thing) and tied her auntie up in a barn. Debbie held Chas at gunpoint but fortunately Charity and Cain arrived just in the nick of time.

    Sarah’s tragic death

    Andy Sugden loved his adopted family so much that he was prepared to take criminal action to protect them. He was convinced the family’s troubles were due to financial pressure – not knowing that his mum Sarah was having an affair with lodger Richie Carter. Wanting to help, Andy set fire to the barn, thinking Jack could claim on the insurance and ease their money troubles.

    But Sarah was in the barn with Richie – ironically, breaking up with him having decided Jack was the man for her after all. Richie escaped but Sarah was killed when the barn exploded.

    David takes revenge

    Troubled teen Lachlan White sexually assaulted Alicia Metcalfe and her husband David wasn’t happy about it. Not wanting to wait for justice, David kidnapped Lachlan and took him to an abandoned barn. He managed to force a confession out of Lachy but it didn’t make him change his ways – he just got worse from then on and eventually turned to kidnap himself, along with murder.

    1. Moira and Ruby are trapped in the burning barn

    Butlers barn is ablaze and Moira and Ruby are trapped in the flames. Moira started the fire by accident after experiencing terrifying visions of her former foe, Emma Barton. Mistaking Ruby for Emma, Moira fired a shotgun, which caused a lightbulb spark to ignite a pool of tractor fuel.

    As the flames start to spread, Moira is frozen in fear. Ruby remains on the ground, after taking a blow to the head during a tussle with Moira. Will she regain consciousness?

    2. Mack and John risk their lives

    Meanwhile, Mack is outside in the fields when he spies smoke billowing from the barn. He tries to get hold of Moira, but is unable to reach her.

    Fearing she could be in danger, Mack hurries to the quad bike parked nearby. He jumps on board and races towards the fire. He arrives outside the barn the same time as John. The pair exchange a worried look before Mack raises the alarm by calling Cain, Caleb and Chas.

    As the siblings speed off towards the barn, Mack and John decide to brave the inferno. But will the plucky pair be able to save Moira and Ruby?

    3. Will prepares to meet his blackmailer

    Across the village, Will is preparing to meet his fate as he awaits further instruction from his blackmailer.

    His mystery tormenter has demanded a £10k in exchange for their silence about Will’s one-night stand with Rose. Will has decided to use the cash as bait to lure the person to him so he can discover their identity. Our money is still on Kim.

    After arranging a meeting point, Will waits in a lay-by for his stalker to show. But then Caleb rushes past, informing him of the drama unfolding at Butlers.

    Unable to just to stand back when lives are in danger, Will is forced to follow…

    4. Will’s blackmailer is on the warpath

    Will ends up missing the drop, and his blackmailer is raging.

    As Kim’s husband joins in with the rescue mission at Butlers, he receives a phone call from his tormentor. This is followed by a message, warning him of what’s to come.

    The threats leave Will struggling to compose himself as he tries to support the Dingles during their hour of need.

    5. Butlers barn goes bang!

    Cain’s worst fears are realised when he discovers Moira is trapped inside the barn.

    Despite his anger with Moira over her recent behaviour, all Cain can think about is saving her. He races towards the blaze, while terrified Chas tries to hold him back.

    Moments later, a huge explosion rips through the barn, throwing everyone to the ground. Several lives are left hanging the balance. But who will survive, and who’s about to meet a fiery end?

    6. Tom gets his comeuppance (sort of)

    Belle has finally found her voice to speak out about Tom’s coercive control and the news is quickly spreading.

    Jimmy may be blind to the fact his nephew is an abuser, but Rhona and Vanessa believe Belle. The pair take action and dismiss Tom from his job at the vets with immediate effect.

    A short while later, Tom suddenly vanishes. No one has seen or heard from him since his sacking and there’s concern Cain is behind his disappearance. But is this just another one of Tom’s twisted mind games?

  • What’s wrong with Moira? Two new theories emerge and one predicts John Sugden is behind it

    What’s wrong with Moira? Two new theories emerge and one predicts John Sugden is behind it

    As Moira fights for her life in a barn fire in Emmerdale it’s clear there’s something really wrong with her, but what?

    On-screen, Moira and the other Dingles seem to think she’s going through the menopause and that’s what’s causing her strange behaviour. That certainly seems to fit with what a lot of viewers think too. The overriding fan theory, however, is that she has a brain tumour.

    But with Emmerdale keeping tight-lipped over what’s really wrong with Moira, two more theories have emerged over what it could be. And one suggests John Sugden is behind the whole thing!

    Moira’s strange behaviour in Emmerdale

    The farmer has been acting odd for a while now. It started when her son, Matty, was falsely imprisoned and she began taking her anger out on Cain. She has been downright nasty to him, belittling him, throwing things at him and even slapping him.

    When she’s not behaving aggressively towards her husband, she is all over him, seducing him and flirting heavily.

    She also lashed out at Matty, telling him to ‘man-up’. And she seemingly made a pass at stepson Nate as well as dishing out a Glasgow Kiss to Ruby.

    Despite all of this, no one has realised there’s something seriously wrong with her, just putting it down the menopause. Cain was convinced she’d cheated with Nate and ended their marriage, unwilling to listen to her explanations.

    So what’s really wrong with Moira in Emmerdale?

    Although the most popular theory is that Moira has a brain tumour, one fan suggested another idea:

    “I read where it’s the Sugden guy who has been drugging her and Mack as he’s their long-lost half-brother out for revenge and not a Sugden at all,” they said.

    Interesting!

    John Sugden arrived in the Dales last month as the long-lost half-brother of Victoria Sugden. But could that be a trick and actually he’s a Boyd?

    Another fan thought it could all be down to PTSD. Last night (Monday September 10), Moira hallucinated Emma Barton, who she killed years ago. Is that coming back to haunt her now?

    The fan wrote: “I think it’s non epileptic panic disorder she’s got because of PTSD.”

    Someone else then went on to explain what that is: “It is basically a severe form of PTSD, where [they] goes into trance like episodes, [they have] no idea who anyone is around [them],.”

    They continued: “[They] can get violent, very strong, but above all scared and completely taken over by all of the trauma. These episodes last for about 3-7 minutes, and [there is] absolutely no recollection of the episode afterwards.”

    But is either of these the cause of Moira’s troubles? And when will we find out exactly what is?!
