    Emmerdale tonight: Rose whereabouts revealed, Caleb’s a Swiftie, and Cain was left unimpressed with Moira’s gift

    Emmerdale finally revealed tonight what actually happened to Rose after her mysterious disappearance last month…

    We were hoping for a huge revelation to come out but it turns out that Dawn just picked her up from the side of the road and drove her to the airport (we fear this episode was well and truly overhyped!)

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Monday, August 26th.

    Flashback scenes revealed the truth about Rose

    Dawn confronted Will over what happened to Rose tonight, admitting that she’d known the truth about Rose’s disappearance all along but had kept quiet.

    She’d been the one to drive by Rose at the side of the road, getting out of her car and confronting her over the voice message she’d received.

    In flashback scenes, Rose then confessed EVERYTHING, admitting that Kim and Will had wanted her gone. Dawn was less than impressed when she found an envelope of money stashed in Rose’s bag, realising that the couple had paid her to leave.

    After finding out that Rose had spiked her drink, Dawn willingly took the wad of cash back from Rose and… drove her to the airport.

    YES, after all that… nothing bad happened to Rose at all. She’s now living it up in the sun somewhere abroad, perfectly alive.

    Livid with Will’s betrayal, Dawn then chucked the cash at him and told him to stay away from her and her family. Oh, she means business! Nobody’s going to get on the wrong side of Dawn again after this one.

    She then packed her bags and decided to leave Home Farm with Billy, whilst revealing that she lied about Evan needing a bone marrow transplant just to play on her dad’s emotions. A well thought out but low move from Dawn, we’ll say!

    Caleb and Jai both love a bit of Tay-Tay

    In the Wooly, Caleb and Jai toasted to their new deal as Caleb prepared to cause chaos at the Haulage.

    However, Chas soon started wondering why they were acting so pally with each other all of a sudden. Caleb then quickly covered, suggesting that they were both trying to decide on the best Taylor Swift song of all-time. Jai claimed ‘Love Story,’ whilst Caleb declared ‘All Too Well’ as the reigning champion.

    Come on lads, we all know that ‘Long Live’ is the ultimate T-Swift tune, don’t we?!

    Warwick Pies are a very big deal

    Now that he’s sticking around for a while, John started to learn the ropes to his new job up at the farm.

    He soon started to bicker with Nate and Mack though, putting himself in charge despite being the newbie.

    Unhappy to be answering the phone and making tea rather than putting in some proper graft outside, Cain then told John that the customer on the phone was Warwick Pies – a big deal. If John took anything away from today, it’s that he should never underestimate the importance of Warwick Pies. Ever. Again.

    Moira’s gift didn’t go down well with Cain

    Nate and Mack wondered why Moira had simply gone away for the night, with the only person in the know being Kyle.

    When Moira returned, Cain and Moira failed to see eye to eye as Moira celebrated her new bull for the farm.

    Cain was less than impressed to spot a bottle of booze in his wife’s bag. She told him that she’d brought it as a gift for him but Cain wasn’t that accepting of it. Sounds like a load of bull to us, Moira!

    Ella apologised to Wendy

    After her recent outburst, Ella entered the Woolpack and thanked Wendy for dropping the charges (how nice of her!)

    Wendy really didn’t want to hear it but admitted that she’d only dropped them to make things easier for everyone at work. Taking one for the team Wendy, good for you!

    Emmerdale spoilers: Moira’s behaviour gets worse as Cain suspects she’s drinking again

    Moira isn’t herself and in Emmerdale spoilers for next week, her volatile behaviour is causing serious concern amongst her loved ones.

    Cain is convinced his wife has fallen off the wagon and succumbed to her previous alcohol addiction. But it there more to Moira’s problems than a dependency on drink?

    Cain and Moira are in crisis in Emmerdale spoilers

    Life at Butlers Farm has been far from harmonious recently. Moira has been struggling since son Matty was wrongly imprisoned for stabbing Samson. It’s caused a divide between her and the Dingles, who are, of course, her in-laws.

    Moira’s marriage to husband Cain is also on very rocky ground. The couple have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. But Cain has been finding it almost impossible to cope with Moira’s erratic mood swings.

    She’s been picking a fight with just about anyone who gets in her way, and it’s totally out of character. Moira may be strong-minded, but she’s not spiteful, and Cain doesn’t like this new side to his wife.

    Cain confronts Moira about her drinking

    As the week begins, Cain is impressed to see new farmhand John dealing with one of their big clients. But his mind is soon turned back to Moira – and the bottle of whisky he found in her bag.

    Tensions are high as Cain confronts his other half, wanting to know why she’s hiding booze.

    Viewers will remember Moira has a long and complicated history with alcohol. She developed an addiction in the aftermath of her affair with Nate, then relapsed when Cain was falsely imprisoned for Al Chapman’s murder. And it appears she’s revisited her old demons after starting to drink on the sly.

    There’s further concern for Cain when he witnesses Moira knocking back painkillers. He asks her about the whisky, but she points out the bottle is unopened. Surely that’s not enough to convince Cain she’s sober?

    Cain gets the wrong idea about Moira and Nate

    Following her run-in with Cain, Moira ends up confiding her woes in John. Strange choice – he’s not exactly the sympathetic sort!

    Moira admits she’s worried about the state of her marriage and doesn’t know if she and Cain can work through it. But the odds of a reconciliation are looking even less favourable when Cain spies Moira having a drink with Nate.

    Seeing the former lovers sat together raises Cain’s suspicions as he wonders if Moira is cheating on him again. He confronts Nate about it, who’s hurt Cain would think such a thing. Nate pleads with Cain to see sense, pointing out their relationship is finally in a good place. But Cain doesn’t want to listen as he storms off to see the kids.

    Are Moira and Cain set for another explosive run-in? And will it be the final nail in the coffin for them?

  • What’s wrong with Moira Dingle? 5 theories on why she’s acting so strangely from menopause to a brain tumour

    What’s wrong with Moira Dingle? 5 theories on why she’s acting so strangely from menopause to a brain tumour

    Moira Dingle has been acting very strangely lately. She’s aggressive, saying some awful things to her family – especially husband Cain, she threw a glass at the wall, fell asleep during the day and strangest of all, she doesn’t seem to remember any of these incidents properly.

    So what’s going on?!

    Well, it won’t surprise you to know that the Emmerdale fans have been busy coming up with some ideas about what’s up with Moira Dingle.

    And we reckon they’re all pretty plausible.

    Here’s our round-up of the best theories about what’s up with Moira.

    Moira looks annoyed as she lashes out in Emmerdale tonight
    Could Moira be developing dementia? (Credit: ITV)

    1. Dementia

    Moira’s forgetfulness could be symptoms of dementia, some fans believe. It’s definitely up there among the theories with legs, but let’s not forget Emmerdale have done a high-profile dementia storyline before. Ashley Thomas’s struggle with vascular dementia was less than ten years ago. Would they really repeat a similar storyline so soon?

    Moira confronts the Dingles over Samson’s travel plans
    Is Moira’s aggression a symptom of menopause? (Credit: ITV)

    2. Menopause

    Since Davina McCall tackled the topic, it seems everyone’s talking about menopause. Emmerdale has already taken on one female hormones story with teenage Cathy Hope’s Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. And Bernice’s menopause was also covered in recent years. But it’s definitely something to think about.

    We can’t help thinking though that Moira’s symptoms are so extreme that instead of raising awareness about the menopause, such a storyline could end up terrifying every woman over a certain age!

    3. Brain tumour

    Tragic Lola Pearce lost her life to an aggressive brain tumour in EastEnders last year earning praise from viewers for the performances the actors involved gave. Could Emmerdale bosses be hoping for a similarly successful story if Moira is seriously ill?

    “She had a very dazed look about her on Thursday’s episode,” one concerned fan pointed out. And they added: “Her mood is very erratic.”

    Moira looks incredulous as she takes a sip of coffee in Emmerdale
    Is it really tea in that mug, Moira? (Credit: ITV)

    4. Is too much booze what’s wrong with Moira in Emmerdale?

    Moira’s been hitting the bottle hard recently, leading some viewers to be convinced she’s got a drinking problem.

    “The way she’s been knocking back the scotch lately I’d say it’s obvious,” said one confident fan.

    But could Moira’s drinking be a symptom rather than a cause? Is she on the booze as a way of coping with something else?

    Adam Barton on the phone looking worried
    If Moira’s ill, could Adam return to the village? (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

    5. Is Adam returning?

    This is a bit of a cheat as it’s not a reason for Moira’s odd behaviour, but it could be a silver lining to Moira’s cloud! Could her struggle with whatever she’s battling bring her son back to the village? Let’s hope so!

    Though, Adam returning could see Moira banged up for killing Emma Barton, so perhaps it wouldn’t be a good thing for him to come back after all!

    What do you think is wrong with Moira? Let us know your theories!

  • Emmerdale tonight: John’s still moody, Moira’s still acting strangely, and Mandy’s still in debt

    Emmerdale tonight: John’s still moody, Moira’s still acting strangely, and Mandy’s still in debt

    Emmerdale tonight saw John Sugden stranded in the village. And if we thought we might learn a bit more about him, we were wrong. All we know is he’s still moody and he’s still miserable.

    Elsewhere, Mandy became a findom and Moira displayed yet more personalities.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Friday August 9.

    John squares up angrily to Aaron again

    John was mean

    Despite his stand-offish nature, it didn’t stop Tracy, Chas and Nicola ogling John while he was out for a run. Aaron came along and was snippy about him, meaning Chas immediately worked out something had happened. So Aaron confessed and told his mum it brought everything that happened with Robert back and he couldn’t go there again.

    Meanwhile, Victoria was still playing hostess with the mostess, determined to kill John with kindness. But snappy, moody John wasn’t interested in playing happy families. Especially when Sarah turned up wanting to meet her newfound uncle. John then confessed his mum had written a letter to Jack, but he never replied. Victoria was insistent that Jack can’t ever have got the letter.

    John stomped off. He then had another encounter with Aaron. He called Aaron “paranoid and a bit of a whiner” – he does have a point. But Aaron didn’t like it and tried to hit him again. However, John once again came out on top. Probably time for a new tactic other than violence.

    So, so far we know John has the Sugden moodiness down, but definitely none of the charm.

    Mack and Aaron then plotted to wipe the smile off John’s face. Which doesn’t sound sensible at all. But when has that ever stopped them?

    Moira was also mean – and then flirty in Emmerdale tonight

    Moira was stressed again – this time because Cain had tidied up rather than done nothing. It’s no wonder he can’t keep up.

    She then came home later and was all lovey-dovey and kissy. She told him there weren’t many men this “useful and sexy” leaving Cain very confused again. Us to. Is she drunk? Is that what this is? Or is something else going on here?

    Mandy is a findom

    Desperate to solve her money worries, Mandy was caught by Tracy signing up for her findom website. And she was not impressed. She insisted Mandy needed to find another way, but Mandy was adamant she was going ahead with it.

    Meanwhile, Chas gave Paddy a pre-wedding present that included his and hers slippers and bride and groom rubber ducks. She then let slip they’d been given to them for their wedding. Because that’s not weird. After they shared a moment, Chas told him she was happy for him.

    Back at home Mandy chose a mask for her profile pic and soon had her first client ready and waiting. Madame Diamante Dales was born. There’s no way this can go wrong for Mandy, right? Right? We’ll find out next week…

    Caleb lurks as Jimmy tries to appear cheery in Emmerdale tonight

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Caleb paid Jimmy a visit and discovered his plan had worked and Jimmy had lost a big client. Part one complete.

    Then, conveniently, a inspector turned up to check the vehicles at Home James Haulage… And Jimmy was fined for exceeding his legal driving limits. Did Caleb have something to do with it? Yes, of course he did! Round two to Caleb.

    We don’t know about you, but the whole Caleb ruining someone’s life storyline feels a bit, well, boring and dry. Change the record.

  • Emmerdale tonight: John’s moody and brooding, something’s definitely wrong with Moira and Caleb is plotting again

    Emmerdale tonight: John’s moody and brooding, something’s definitely wrong with Moira and Caleb is plotting again

    Emmerdale tonight revealed who John Sugden really is and while Victoria was full of the joys of spring about it, Aaron was not. Not at all. Well, you wouldn’t be would you?

    Meanwhile, Moira continued acting strangely and we still don’t know why, but we don’t like it. And Caleb has a new target in yet another plot of his.

    Here’s a recap of Emmerdale on Thursday August 8.

    John and Victoria look strained as they speak
    John’s not really interested in the family thing (Credit: ITV)

    John Sugden met Victoria tonight

    Victoria drove Eric to a funeral of an old friend and outside the church got chatting to a young man. After a severe case of foot-in-mouth, the man introduced himself to Eric as John Sugden. Vic looked shocked as the cogs started whirring and Pollard confirmed he could well be her half-brother.

    When Vic introduced herself to John, he said he knew Jack was his dad and made it clear he wanted nothing to do with the Sugdens. He wasn’t interested in family life or Victoria and refused to accept her number. Cheery soul is John – and very like half-brother Robert: miserable and moody.

    John then broke down again and called a garage to fix it. Obviously it was Mack who arrived and he towed John back to Emmerdale – where Aaron was waiting. Turned out John hadn’t officially robbed him, he’d just driven off without giving his things back. Thank goodness Aaron got his beloved hoodie back.

    And Victoria was thrilled to see him again. She immediately revealed Aaron was Robert’s ex-husband and things got very awkward indeed. We love awkward.

    John went back to Victoria’s and her very perky full-on behaviour really put him off. But he did begrudgingly agree to stay for one night.

    Meanwhile, Aaron was convinced John was up to something. And he got a punch in the stomach for his questioning. Is this a feud? It is sexual tension? Is it the next great love story? Who knows.

    Moira slumps her shoulders and gives Cain a hard time in Emmerdale
    We still don’t know what’s wrong with Moira (Credit: ITV)

    Moira, Moira, give us an answer, do

    If, like us, you’re getting a bit fed-up of Moira’s weird behaviour, tonight’s Emmerdale wouldn’t have filled you with joy. She was acting like nothing had happened yesterday as Matty confronted her over her comments. She seemed to almost have forgotten she’d been so cruel, then claimed it just came out wrong.

    She said she was sorry and blamed it on always working, cooking or washing. Matty forgave pretty easily.

    But later she laid into Cain again, saying she was keeping the family afloat. She said he wasn’t earning enough to support his kids and left it all to her. Ouch.

    Moira continued to give him a hard time, she was under pressure and felt he never had her back. He then advised she talk to Liam as she “might need some pills”. Subtle as a brick, but he does have a point. And he left Moira staring into space. We are now as confused as Cain.

    Moira then fell asleep on the sofa and Matty woke her up. She seemed confused and unable to remember what had really happened.

    Cain later confided in Sam, while Moira poured herself a whiskey at home, before taking the bottle with her. Is it alcohol causing her to act strangely? Or is that what she’s using to feel better and something else is really wrong? Either way, Emmerdale needs to answer quick smart before they ruin Moira like they did Chas.

    Jimmy looks concerned while Rodney looks through paperwork in the back of a Lorry in Emmerdale tonight

    Caleb plotted against Jimmy in Emmerdale tonight

    Rodney was tasked with driving a lorry for Jimmy, something he was very excited about, while Jimmy was not. Two boxes of goods went missing between packing the van and delivery, leaving furious Jimmy accusing Rodney of flogging them on the side.

    Turned out Caleb actually had them. He now has Jimmy in his sights as his latest target as he sets up his empire. Caleb was trying to make Home James Haulage look useless, so he could take over. He needs trucks apparently and Jimmy is collateral damage.

    Caleb also thinks his dimples will get him everything he wants – he does have nice dimples to be fair.

    Mandy in a blue feathered mask sitting at a computer and gesticulating in Emmerdale

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Charity was not happy to hear that Amelia and Noah had split especially as Esther is still set to inherit all of Noah’s trust fund. Noah then confessed why and Charity realised what he had done. HE BROKE THE DINGLE CODE.

    Charity couldn’t believe it and Noah told her he was jealous. Charity called her son a ‘prawn’ and promised to keep quiet.

    Meanwhile, feeling sorry for herself, Mandy buried herself in cake in the café as Tracy encouraged her to fix her financial mess. But Mandy had no idea how. So she headed to the pub. The café, then the pub, is it any wonder she’s broke?!

    A random chat with Gail led Mandy to look into becoming a financial dominatrix. Gail tried to persuade her she’d be great at insulting men for cash. But things didn’t go well when Gail tried to demonstrate on Eric – turns out he’s not the kinky type.

    Mandy was nervous and unsure, but when she got home and got an offer to pop Paddy’s blisters, she realised it might not be the most disgusting thing she’d done all day and decided to go for it.

  • ‘What’s wrong with Moira?’ fans question as they fear something is seriously wrong over major character change

    ‘What’s wrong with Moira?’ fans question as they fear something is seriously wrong over major character change

    Something is going on with Moira in Emmerdale and fans are starting to wonder what – frankly, so are we!

    Yes, she’s always been a feisty farmer not afraid to speak her mind. And yes, we’ve always loved that she’ll stand up to husband Cain when necessary. BUT, she’s somehow gone from strong women who we champion to very scary psycho, physically and verbally abusing Cain and others around her and, honestly, worrying us greatly.

    So what is wrong with Moira?

    Well, that’s exactly what fans have been asking too – and even Cain asked it last night when he told her: “I don’t like it when you’re like this, what is wrong with you?”

    Viewers are starting to come up with theories over the major personality change for Moira. But what could it be caused by?

    Complete character change for Moira in Emmerdale

    Her personality transplant has been building for weeks. With her son Matty in prison after being set-up for a crime that was accidental self-defence, she has been worried sick. Matty was having a very hard time inside due to being trans.

    Moira was desperate to get him out and insisted Cain should be doing more. She aggressively belittled him, told him the old Cain would never let this lie, and that he was weak and pathetic. And it came a mere weeks after he had had a break down over the old Cain having gone and Moira telling him she liked the new Cain. Make it make sense, love!

    As her bullying and belittling continued, last week, Moira almost punched Cain when she saw him helping Samson. She told him not to come home as he was training the man who put her son behind bars to survive in prison himself.

    Then this week, she went mad at him again when he accused her of calling the police and having Samson arrested for assault on Josh as revenge. She flipped and threw a glass at him, which hit the wall and smashed. She then viciously spat the whole family would be better off without him.

    As he remained remarkably calm when confronting her the following day, Moira told him: “You’re the one being difficult lately, not me.” She looked properly deranged and like she really believed that as she sipped at her tea as if challenging him to come for her.

    Fans react to Moira change

    So what’s going on here? Is it built up anger and frustration? Or it is something more serious? Some viewers think it must be a medical issue making Moira act with so much rage.

    “I’m seriously considering something is medically wrong with Moira because she was never this level of constantly annoying,” said one on social media.

    A second said: “Is it going to turn out to be a medical condition for Moira? She just acts weird sometimes, like she’s forgetful, it was like she didn’t remember, throwing the glass at Cain.”

    Another queried: “Is Emmerdale going down the menopause route for Moira? It’s the only way to explain her rage and personality change?!”

    “I’m starting to think Moira might be ill or something cos why is she acting like this? Has she forgotten she pushed Emma off a bridge to her death?” asked one more.

    Others agreed with the menopause suggestion, but some were concerned it could be something even more serious.

    “Could Moira have early on-set dementia or a brain tumour with her forgetting things?” suggested one.

    More viewers felt it was a plot device to drive Cain into someone else’s arms – namely Ella Forster. Cain has been kind to Ella since he found out she was a child killer. He was one of the only ones who gave her the time of day – and continues to do so.

    “Am I the only one who can see where this angry Moira storyline is going? Cain and Ella affair,” insisted one fan.

    A second agreed: “Moira is turning into a psycho abuser like Tom, so it’ll be Cain off with Ella.”

  • Emmerdale tonight: Samson sent down, Moira turning into abusive Tom and Noah caught out

    Emmerdale tonight: Samson sent down, Moira turning into abusive Tom and Noah caught out

    Emmerdale tonight saw a tearful goodbye for Samson Dingle who was sent to prison. It caused a ripple affect throughout the village as several couples faced splitsville over the situation. Why they’re letting Samson come between them is beyond us, but hey, that’s what’s happening!

    Pollard also confessed to Victoria and she confided in Aaron before coming up with a plan. Meanwhile, things were tense between Kim and Will. Still.

    Here’s a recap of all the action in Emmerdale on Tuesday August 6.

    Samson sent down in Emmerdale tonight

    After his arrest for assault Samson had been at the police station all night. But he soon called with good news – the police have got Josh on Eric’s video doorbell and he said enough to incriminate himself. He has been arrested and charged too. Not quite the news Sam was hoping for, but better than nothing.

    Just before the ad break, Lydia arrived at the pub with news: the judge sentenced Samson to four years. It’s even more than the solicitor was expecting, but Cain‘s sure if he keeps his nose clean he can get out sooner. Moira just smirked.

    Lydia accused Moira of calling the police. But we’re about to find out who really called them…

    At the end of the episode Sam and Samson had a moment together before Samson was taken away. Sam told his son he’s proud of him as Samson cried. They had one last hug, shared their love for each other and Samson was gone leaving Sam sobbing in the interview room as the credits rolled.

    So that’s all we will see of Samson for now, but his presence is still being felt around the village.

    What is wrong with Moira?

    It’s the question on everyone’s lips and one even Cain finally asks tonight when he tells Moira: “I don’t like it when you’re like this, what is wrong with you?”

    After her glass-throwing incident yesterday in which she spat the whole family would be better off without him, Cain was remarkably calm when greeting his wife at the breakfast table. They agreed to pretend yesterday never happened – that’s one more free pass for Moira after she nearly punched him last week.

    “You’re the one being difficult lately, not me,” Moira told him with a psycho glint in her eye. Beg to differ Moira, you are losing the plot! What is going on with her? She’s giving abusive Tom a run for his money, that’s for sure.

    Amelia obsessed over Samson in Emmerdale tonight

    Amelia suddenly really cares about Samson. We mean really cares about the guy who ditched her and wanted nothing to do with her or their daughter. The guy who tried to blackmail Noah into essentially buying Esther off him. That guy is who Amelia is desperately concerned about, looking glum and sulky over at the Woolpack bar. Riiiiight.

    As she worried about Esther’s future with her dad behind bars (to confirm that’s the dad who abandoned them and wanted nothing to do with his daughter), Noah was trying to say he’ll be a dad to Esther. Ungrateful Amelia told him Esther needs Samson. Again: not quite sure why, she hasn’t needed Samson for the first 18 months of her life so why all of a sudden can Esther not live without him now?

    Later on, Amelia was still shouting about it. She was honestly acting like the love of her life has gone to prison and will never get out. When did Samson even see Esther? We blinked and missed it.

    However, it soon turned out Noah called the police to report Samson for assault! He appealed to Amelia that both Josh and Samson need to be kept off the streets. But Amelia dumped Noah – who actually has stepped up and cared for her. But hey, Amelia knows best, even though this makes no sense.

    Pollard confessed to Victoria

    Pollard finally told Victoria he was behind her sacking. She was shocked and upset and insisted she could never forgive him, despite his argument it’s because he feels like everyone treats him differently due to his Parkinson’s.

    After confiding in Aaron it turns out the never forgive him thing wasn’t really true as she’s already ready to try and forgive him. Aaron advised her to use the information to get her job back and get a pay rise, which got Vic’s cogs turning.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Things were still tense between Kim and Will. Will wanted to draw a line, Kim wanted to face up to it. Stalemate.

    Will later confided in Jimmy who suggested he ‘fess up and repair the relationship. Come clean to Kim Tate? Don’t listen to him Will, you’ll be in whatever ditch Rose is in before you can say ‘sorry’.

    Meanwhile, Billy told them both to start helping more. Suddenly Team Rose, he said his mother-in-law at least helped around the house. Can’t see Kim donning her Marigolds any time soon!

    Elsewhere, Aaron is on a dating app and looks to be having quite a bit of interest, judging by the sound of his phone pinging during his conversation with Victoria. But who is his mystery man?
