    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.

  • 8 reasons Emmerdale totally deserved their NTA win

    8 reasons Emmerdale totally deserved their NTA win

    Emmerdale won big at the National Television Awards last night, scoring the Serial Drama prize. In doing so, the soap regained its crown after being beaten by BBC competitor EastEnders last year.

    At last night’s ceremony, it was announced that the general public had voted for Emmerdale to win.

    Here are the 8 big reasons we think it’s a well-deserved win for Emmerdale.

    1. Strong storylines

    This year’s Emmerdale has largely been consumed by the horrifying saga of Belle Dingle‘s abusive marriage to Tom King. Once he’d fooled her into saying ‘I do’ with his nice guy act, Tom let the mask drop, and embarked on a horrific campaign of coercive control which left Belle at his mercy – and questioning everything she thought she knew about her marriage.

    2. Great characters

    Love or hate them, Emmerdale has some of the best characters on television at the moment – both new and established. One of the recent additions that viewers love to hate is Ruby Fox-Miligan, who quickly set the cat among the pigeons following her arrival in the village. In doing so, she has clashed with Kim Tate and Moira Dingle – earning a signature ‘Glasgow kiss’ from the latter last week.

    Meanwhile, John Sugden has sparked countless fan theories since his arrival last month, quickly getting hot and steamy with Aaron Dingle.

    3. Excellent performances

    Fans have hailed Eden Taylor-Draper‘s performance as one of the best the soap has ever seen. At the heart of Tom and Belle’s story,  the star has taken it all in her stride. She lost out to Coronation Street’s Peter Ash (who played the late Paul Foreman) in winning a trophy for her performance, but Eden deserves all of the awards for having to put up with Tom King’s vile abuse.

    And, talking of, we may hate terrible Tom, but there’s no denying that James Chase has done excellent work in making his character the most slappable soap villain of 2024.

    4. Inventive direction

    The soap has gotten experimental in recent weeks; Moira experiencing hallucinations of old foe Emma Barton; an episode from Belle’s perspective which followed her as she explored potential futures with husband Tom. It’s thinking outside of the box and we love it.

    5. Explosive action

    While its cast were busy winning an award for the soap, Emmerdale aired one of the most explosive scenes of the year so far. With Moira and Ruby trapped in a burning barn, a devastating explosion rocked the farm – leaving two beloved characters potentially dead.

    As Cain, Mack and John raced to rescue Moira and Ruby from the deadly inferno, viewers were left on the edge of their seats. Boom.

    6. Powerful writing

    Yes, it’s Belle and Tom again, but the soap deserves all the kudos for Belle and Charity’s big conversation – during which she outlined exactly what her husband had been up to. Viewers’ hearts broke afresh as Belle finally confided in Charity, putting all of that pain and self-doubt into words.

    And then it did it all over again the next day, once Cain learned what Tom had been doing. Defying expectation, Cain stormed off as Charity revealed the truth – only to turn up on Belle’s doorstep to envelop his little sister in a big, comforting hug. Devastatingly observed by the soap writers.

    7. Heartwarming comedy

    If the scenes of dogs being run over, Moira losing her marbles and Tom being an all-around evil monster were too much, Emmerdale can still be relied upon to bring the humour. And this year it’s been Mandy’s turn to bring the comedy. Embarking on a get-rich scheme, Mandy became a Financial Dominatrix for dosh. Her marriage to Paddy was in doubt for a while, but it all came good in the end.

    If there’s one thing Emmerdale has that the other soaps don’t, it’s Piper the dog. ‘Nuff said.

  • 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

    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?

    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?

    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?

  • 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?!

  • Emmerdale is not on tonight and fans fume following that dramatic cliffhanger

    Emmerdale is not on tonight and fans fume following that dramatic cliffhanger

    Emmerdale takes a break from our screens tonight because there is an England football match on the telly.

    Soap fans are used to their fave shows being pushed aside when there’s football on – though we’re never really happy about it – but tonight’s scheduling has really got viewers’ goats.

    Because last night’s episode of Emmerdale ended on such a dramatic cliffhanger!

    Cliffhanger!

    Ruby had come across Moira in the barn, intending to taunt her about her ‘kiss’ with Nate. But it was clear that Moira was acting oddly – spilling petrol and zoning out as Ruby spoke.

    And then Moira began calling Ruby by the name ‘Emma’ as she hallucinated that she was back in another barn – remembering her confrontation with Emma Barton.

    Moira was scared as she thought Emma was in the barn with her, and Ruby was freaked out, but Moira wouldn’t let her go. She held Ruby at gunpoint and then fired – sending sparks into the barn that set it alight.

    Ruby tried to grab the gun, but Moira knocked her out.

    As the episode drew to a close, Moira seemed to come to her senses for a moment, and desperately attempted to wake Ruby.

    But then she spaced out again, rocking where she sat on the ground – and that was the end of the episode!

    Forced to wait!

    After such an exciting cliffhanger, the fans are desperate to see what happens next and now they’re being forced to wait thanks to the football!

    And they are really not happy about it!

    Looks like Moira is about to pass out! and we have to wait until Wed now? Damn it!” said one disgruntled viewer.

    “Emmerdale once again falls behind for bloody football we had enough of it with Euros could have aired Emmerdale but no hours worth of pointless waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle match stuff,” said another who wasn’t holding back on their opinion! 

    “Aargh no Emmerdale,” another viewer wailed. “Thanks to boring football we won’t see it tomorrow,” complained one more. 

    Thankfully it’s only one episode we’re missing this week and we’ll back in the thick of the action in the barn fire on Wednesday!

    But will Moira and Ruby make it out alive? It’s not looking good for the pair right now!

    Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm.

    Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.

    Emmerdale tonight: Moira and Ruby trapped in a barn as a fire takes hold – and we really need answers

    In Emmerdale tonight a fire broke out in the barn Moira and Ruby were arguing in. But as Moira’s behaviour gets stranger and stranger, it’s time for Emmerdale to answer our questions over what is wrong.

    Let’s just hope they don’t kill her off in the blaze before we find out!

    Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale on Monday September 9.

    Caleb broke up Cain’s marriage

    As Cain tried to talk to Moira, she wasn’t really interested in Belle’s plight, she was more concerned about Nate’s strops and a fox in the barn.

    Caleb then broke the news to Cain that he’d seen Moira and Nate kissing – and it seemed like he was watching something different to us because he made it sound like a full on pash rather than a moment of confusion.

    But Cain went home to confront Moira and wouldn’t listen to her explanation. She called him paranoid and ridiculous and stormed off. Although she’s the one acting strangely, in this instance we agree with her – Caleb’s clearly stirring the pot for no real reason.

    Caleb later told Nate he’d seen everything and then told Tracy what had happened for good measure.

    Really, we were absolutely watching something else, because we saw no kiss. Just a weird moment of what seemed like Moira being a bit dizzy and confused. Maybe we didn’t have a great camera angle…

    Bad day for Nate as Cain beat him up and Tracy dumped him

    Cain decided to speak with his fists anyway, beating Nate to a pulp. Nate was begging him to listen and believe him, but Cain told him he was no son of his and he’d be happy if he never saw him again. Foreshadowing there, we wonder?

    Tracy also wasn’t impressed and told him everything had changed and he could go to Shetland on his own. Five minutes before she was telling Vanessa being with Nate was like ‘coming home’, but apparently she likes breaking up with her home a lot.

    Seeming to totally forget her affair with Caleb ended the marriage in the first place, Tracy gave him five minutes to say goodbye to Frankie and then kicked him out.

    Meanwhile, Cain was still fuming with Moira and called her a slag. She then lost it and slapped him, to which he told her they were done. NOOOOOOO. Hear us now, Emmerdale, do not split Moira and Cain up.

    As he stormed out, Moira grabbed her head and muttered “what’s going on?” – that’s exactly what we’d like to know, too.

    The barn fire took hold in Emmerdale tonight

    In a daze in the barn, Moira seemed totally unaware when Ruby walked in and started being sarcastic and gloating. But Moira had a moment and starting imagining Emma Barton instead.

    She grabbed her shotgun, and locked them in the barn. When she fired a warning shot, it flamed with petrol she had spilled in the hay and a fire sparked. She then knocked Ruby out and saw blood coming from her head as the blaze took hold.

    But dazed and confused Moira couldn’t move and just went into spaced out mode again. Will either of them survive the blaze? Nate is on his way to see Moira, will he perish as he tries to rescue them? Can Cain forgive his wife? Will we ever find out what’s wrong with Moira?

    Tom’s still lurking

    Tom’s lurking again, breaking into the house to remove the cameras. Even Jimmy accused him of skulking. But Tom turned the tables and told Jimmy Belle was telling everyone he hit her. He manipulated and lied and there was a slight flicker from Jimmy that he might believe Belle.

    But then he ruined it and started supporting Tom again, even confronting Belle on the street. However, Cain the saviour stepped in and frightened Jimmy away – not before Rhona had heard everything though. So whose side will she take?

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Will is sick of his blackmailer. Talk about stating the obvious. But still, Kim’s all over him insisting their marriage is repaired so that’s good… Or is it, because we’re pretty certain the blackmail plot has Kim Tate written all over it
