    As Cain’s cheating scandal rocks Emmerdale what does the future hold for Cain and Moira? Natalie J Robb reveals all

    Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb has hinted at what the future has in store for Moira and Cain Dingle. This follows shocking scenes last night in which Cain cheated on her while she was on the operating table.

    Viewers were left shell-shocked by last night’s episode (airing Wednesday, November 20) as Cain marked the occasion of wife Moira undergoing brain surgery by, uh, cheating on her with his sister-in-law, Ruby.

    Cain cheats on Moira with Ruby

    Soap fans watched aghast as Cain fell into bed (or the back of a car?) with Ruby after an argument turned unexpectedly steamy.

    He then rushed to the hospital where Moira was recovering from surgery, and in good spirits after dreaming up a comforting conversation with dead daughter Holly. Her good mood surely won’t last though – the truth will always come out, and Moira is bound to learn what Cain and Ruby did sooner or later.

    But what does this mean for Moira and Cain?

    Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb reveals what’s next for Cain and Moira

    Speaking on Cain and Moira’s future, actor Natalie J Robb – who plays Moira on the soap – recently told Emmerdale Insider and other media: “I think it’s really important that they stay together.”

    She continued: “Marriages go through things. There’s temptation. There’s things that can happen. If everybody just gave up after the first hurdle of a marriage, people would just not get married now. It’s so easy to get out of marriages now.

    “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 there hope for Moira and Cain yet?

  • Was Cain cheating with Ruby a dream? Emmerdale fans hopeful it didn’t actually happen

    Was Cain cheating with Ruby a dream? Emmerdale fans hopeful it didn’t actually happen

    Last night’s episode of Emmerdale shocked viewers with scenes in which Cain cheated on Moira with Ruby – while she was in hospital undergoing surgery for her brain tumour.

    As Cain wrestled with his fear of losing Moira, he sunk into old habits – drinking, fighting and making some, ah, questionable romantic choices. This culminated in Ruby appearing in the garage, where the pair gave in to mutual attraction and embraced in a steamy kiss.

    Viewers were horrified to see Cain cheat on Moira, and baffled by how out of left-field the moment seemed to be. Earlier in the episode, Moira had dreamed of daughter Holly, reuniting with her late daughter.

    Well, if Moira could dream of Holly, then why not Ruby and Cain too?

    Emmerdale fans clutching at straws as Cain cheats on Moira

    As the episode aired, fans took to social media to talk themselves out of what they’d apparently just seen. Did Cain really just cheat on Moira?

    “Is the Ruby and Cain thing genuine or is it going to turn out as not actually happening?!” asked one fan.

    “Did nobody but me think it was just a scenario,” suggested another.

    “Why do this, it was so random why did she turn up? First part of the episode so beautiful. Second part vile, doing that to Moira. Hopefully it was dream,” said a third.

    “Yes but has Cain actually had sex with Ruby?? That’s the question. I don’t think so,” another wrote.

    As it is, it seems as though Cain’s actions were all too real – meaning that he did indeed cheat on his wife with Ruby.

    Oh Emmerdale, what have you done?

    The fallout of their actions remains to be seen – with Moira in recovery and in good spirits as the episode ended.

    However, it’s a truly shocking development, and not necessarily a good one either. Is there any coming back from this one?

  • Beth Cordingly speaks out on Ruby and Cain cheating twist: ‘It’s bad. I’m scared’

    Beth Cordingly speaks out on Ruby and Cain cheating twist: ‘It’s bad. I’m scared’

    In a twist that nobody saw coming (or wanted), Cain Dingle cheated on his wife while she was in brain surgery – with his sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan.

    Viewers were left shocked at the end of last night’s episode (November 20), as Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby slept together. Many took to social media to display their anger at the storyline.

    Cain and Moira have always been one of the biggest and strongest power couples in Emmerdale, but with this latest twist, everyone can’t help feeling very let down.

    Throwing a cheating storyline in the middle of a powerful health storyline has upset fans. Not only that, but after all Cain and Moira have faced, and her previous affair with Nate, was it really necessary?

    But it seems fans weren’t the only ones surprised by it, as Ruby actress Beth Cordingly has spoken out about her reaction.

    As Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby sleep together – actress speaks out

    Taking to her Instagram after the episode aired, Beth posted a video to her followers. In the video she has a fearful expression on her face and admits: “I know. It’s really bad.”

    She continued by worrying: “What’s going to happen when Moira finds out? I’m scared.”

    Beth also mentioned Caleb’s reaction won’t be good, but admitted “Moira is probably more scary” between the pair.

    The Emmerdale star went on to tell her followers what it was like when she first heard the news.

    “When they told me in the storyline meeting that was going to happen, I literally went like this [Screaming]”, she confessed.

    In the caption for the post, Beth wrote: “Tonight’s episode. I KNOW.  Not a good idea.”

    So it looks like even the cast weren’t too joyous of the storyline, and fans were quick to comment on her post letting her know what a shock it was.

    One commented: “I’m actually unwell over it.”

    Another predicted Moira’s reaction: “Hope you’re ready for a gift from Glasgow!”

    How will Moira react?

    It wasn’t long ago Moira accidentally tried to kill Ruby when she was hallucinating Emma Barton, so when she finds out what happened between her and Cain, the reaction could be even worse.

    Both Emmerdale’s Cain and Ruby have been involved in huge storylines recently. Cain has been trying to deal with Moira’s brain tumour (Not very well). Last night was a Cain and Moira special, and although fans were angry with the ending, the first half, with the return of Moira’s dead daughter Holly, served as an emotional treat.

    Elsewhere, Ruby’s daughter Steph, and her father, Anthony, have arrived in the Dales. While she is keen for Steph to stay, she’s determined to get rid of Anthony.

    But with this latest Emmerdale twist, what does the future hold for Coira? Could she ever forgive Cain? And how will Caleb react when he hears his wife has slept with his brother?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dead Holly ‘returned’, Cain cheated and Moira survived

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dead Holly ‘returned’, Cain cheated and Moira survived

    Emmerdale tonight had us crying and screaming in equal measure. Holly Barton’s return was sweet and moving, but Cain sleeping with Ruby was possibly the most crazy decision the soap has ever made. Why? Just why?

    Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 20.

    Moira’s tale in Emmerdale tonight

    Moira went in for surgery

    As Moira was waiting with Cain for her surgery, he was still in denial over the situation. Moira demanded he go home, she was worried about him being aggressive with the doctors and nurses.

    They shared a tearful hug before Moira was taken away, but Cain couldn’t tell her he loves her. He then went to work, despite Sam’s protests he couldn’t just ‘bog off’. Sam insisted Cain was going to do something stupid, but Cain stormed off.

    Holly ‘returned’ for Moira

    As Moira went under she went into a dream state and found herself lying on the sofa with Kyle and Isaac playing beside her. She was then transported outside as the boys played football and she walked out into the sunlight (beautifully reflecting Moira’s new blonde highlights, we must say!)

    Then came shock twist number one: Holly Barton returned. Moira’s daughter Holly died in a heartbreaking overdose in 2016, but here she was sitting next to her mum. They shared a tearful catch-up as the doctor’s voiceover discussed the tumour being a higher grade than they thought. Holly apologised for leaving her and making her mum so sad.  But then the doctor’s voice burst again in saying Moira was having a seizure and had lost a lot of blood.

    It seemed like Holly was encouraging her mum to let go and be with her, but as they walked off, Moira couldn’t go with Holly, she needed to check on the boys, meaning Holly had to go alone. Moira was not ready to leave her boys yet.

    Moira was then seen alive and in recovery, being woken up by the nurse. The operation went well and it’s all over.

    Cain then arrived at the hospital and was actually grateful to the doctors and nurses for saving Moira’s life. He finally told Moira he loved her, but it was clear something was troubling him…

    Jimmy got a beating

    And then we cut to Cain‘s experiences over the last four hours. We saw him slugging whiskey with bloodied hands where Caleb found him and went nuts.

    The clock then wound back to Cain drinking and Jimmy approaching him. Jimmy laid into him over the Tom and Belle situation. Talk about timing, Jimmy! So Cain then did what Cain does and beat him up!

    Cain and RUBY??!!

    We went back again in time again, with Cain closing up the garage and Caleb approaching, they rowed and then we went back another hour. And then can shock twist number two: Cain was doing up his shirt – and Ruby was there putting her own clothes back on.

    Back we went another 45 minutes to see Cain sulking and drinking in a car at the garage when Ruby came in. It sort of came out of nowhere: they argued and Cain brought up her dad – before they suddenly kissed passionately. WHAT THE HELL?!

    We then went forward to Cain arriving at the hospital to see Moira and find out how the operation went. The doctor said the tumour was out and she was confident the surgery went well. Cain was so relieved, but couldn’t see her – the guilt overwhelming him. Ruby then texted him telling him today had never happened.

    Oh Emmerdale, what have you done? This was a bad, bad move. Not one single viewer will be happy about this, we can guarantee it. Why can’t you leave couples alone?

    Whoever thought up this storyline twist? Off with their heads!

  • Talk about abrupt: Emmerdale fans fume as ITV ‘cuts’ final episode scene short

    Talk about abrupt: Emmerdale fans fume as ITV ‘cuts’ final episode scene short

    Fans have been left annoyed as the latest Emmerdale episode featured a very abrupt ending. The ITV show appeared to be cut short, leaving many annoyed and curious.

    Yesterday’s episode (November 19) featured a lot of Cain and Moira Dingle, as they prepared for her brain surgery.

    Throughout the show, Moira kept telling Cain he should prepare for the worst, but in true Cain fashion, he refused to even consider that was an option.

    After Moira checked that he knew where her will was in an emotional conversation, Cain stormed out of the house.

    His wife went to the one person she knew could get through to Cain; Chas Dingle. She had a similar conversation with her, asking her sister-in-law to look out for her family if anything were to happen to her.

    Chas agreed to this request, and the pair shared a teary-eyed hug. But when viewers next saw Cain, things looked a tad suspicious.

    Cain was in the garage and it seemed like there was something in the boot of his car. He stood holding the boot open, clearly emotional.

    Fans slam abrupt Emmerdale episode ending

    But before anyone had a chance to process the scene, the theme tune came on and the credits rolled. Many fans thought the Emmerdale episode had quite a sudden ending.

    Taking to social media, one wrote: “That felt like a very sudden ending. Was the episode cut short?”

    Another echoed: “Feels like there should have been more to that Emmerdale episode. How come it ended so abruptly?”

    “How dare ITV cut Cain’s scene like that…” said one more

    Many others agreed that the final scene should have played out longer, questioning why exactly ITV cut it short.

    While the scene is still very quick on the ITVX version, it appears to last a tad longer than the live TV version last night. So it seems that it was cut short for an unknown reason.

    The episode set up tonight’s beautifully crafted special episode that centres around Moira finally getting her brain surgery.

    No stranger to a unique structure, tonight’s Emmerdale follows the day of the procedure – but Cain’s day is told in reverse chronological order.

    So the question remains, was Cain hiding something in his boot? Or was he just emotional over Moira’s procedure? And how will he cope when she goes in for surgery?

  • As Moira heads in for brain surgery – is Natalie J Robb leaving Emmerdale? Here’s what we know

    As Moira heads in for brain surgery – is Natalie J Robb leaving Emmerdale? Here’s what we know

    After months of living with a brain tumour, Moira Dingle is going under the knife to have it removed in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday November 20). And as she prepares for the worst, what does this mean for actress Natalie J Robb’s future on the show? Is she leaving Emmerdale?

    Well, Emmerdale has not confirmed or denied an exit for Moira, but Natalie herself has hinted Moira is going nowhere. In an interview with Emmerdale Insider, she said there was “more to come” for her character. And after tonight’s episode (no spoilers here!) we certainly think there is!

    Moira has brain surgery in Emmerdale

    Moira’s odd behaviour started some months ago. She was either snappy and nasty to everyone or overly affectionate. She also forgot things she said and did – particularly the bad stuff. The farmer even made a pass at Nate Robinson, Cain’s son, which nearly resulted in the end of their marriage.

    Moira was then diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumour. At first she adopted the ‘wait and see’ approach – living with the tumour and seeing if it developed and got worse. Cain was not on board with this and insisted she needed to have the op as soon as possible.

    With her seizures worsening and her not being allowed to be alone with her kids or work on the farm after she killed her sheep, Moira knew he was right.

    She has been practical about it, preparing a living will, visiting her eldest son, Adam, to say goodbye should the worst happen and trying to get Cain to accept she could die. All except the latter have gone well. Cain however, is not facing up to any of it and is brushing it under the table.

    Tonight Moira goes in for the operation. The episode will be another format-breaking one for Emmerdale as the first half tells Moira’s story. The second half then tells Cain’s story in reverse chronological order.

    So does Moira survive the surgery?

    Although we don’t know for definite yet, it looks like Moira will make it through, which means Natalie J Robb is going nowhere.

    Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Natalie recently said: “There’s still some things obviously to come out and I [Moira] still have to go through some treatment afterwards as well. So, we don’t know if everything is going to be hunky dory. But, there could be some slight personality change. It could be that she just deals with things differently because she’s been faced with such an ordeal.”

    Ordeal or not, we’re just glad that Moira pulls through and Nat not leaving. Now as for Coira, that’s a whole other story…

    2 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: A special episode for Cain and Moira Dingle

    In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight (Wednesday, November 20), Moira and Cain Dingle star in a special episode as Moira goes in for brain tumour surgery.

    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?

  • Moira returns and fans are baffled over her new blonde highlights ahead of brain op

    Moira returns and fans are baffled over her new blonde highlights ahead of brain op

    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. 

    But perhaps, if you’re about to have life-threatening surgery, a spot of pampering is just what the doctor ordered?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Moira has surgery as a special episode shows Cain not coping as she goes under the knife

    In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Moira undergoes surgery to remove her brain tumour. And, as she goes under the knife, Cain attempts to come to terms with his worst fears – with devastating consequences.

    A special episode of the soap follows Moira’s brain surgery while Cain, alone in the garage, faces his demons. When Caleb finds Cain in the aftermath of a drunken outburst, the episode plays out in reverse chronological order, explaining exactly what went down.

    What has Cain done?

    These events come as Moira undergoes treatment for her brain tumour.

And now, after weeks of uncertainty, Moira has a date for her surgery – leaving Cain terrified at the prospect of losing his wife.

    Will Moira pull through?
