Emmerdale fans are convinced that Moira Dingle will have an affair with a villager following Cain’s betrayal
Emmerdale’s Moira Dingle, portrayed by Natalie J. Robb, might be in for a surprise affair with another villager, fans speculate.
The character, who first appeared in the iconic Dales in 2009, has since become a viewer favourite and a cherished figure. Moira’s journey on the soap opera has been filled with highs and lows, including marrying into the Dingle family and dealing with her daughter’s drug overdose.
Moreover, this year brought a significant twist for Moira when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour after exhibiting unusual behaviour and seizures. She underwent surgery in November.
However, unbeknownst to her, during her operation, her husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) had an affair with Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly). Fans will remember that Cain has been grappling with his emotions since Moira’s diagnosis.
After his unexpected sexual encounter with Ruby, Cain has continued to struggle, burdened by guilt while avoiding Ruby to keep their affair secret – and so far, he’s managed to do so. However, in Monday’s episode (December 9), Cain was thrown off balance when Ruby and Caleb (William Ash) decided to visit Moira at home following her surgery, reports Leeds Live.
Feeling trapped and eager to prevent Moira from suspecting their affair, Cain quickly came up with an excuse to leave. He deceived his family by claiming he needed to go to Dudley to pick up a vintage car.
Despite feeling disappointed, Moira decided to plan a surprise birthday party for Cain as a token of appreciation for his support during her illness. However, in the episode aired on December 10, Cain opted to skip Moira’s hospital appointment where she was due to receive her surgery results.
Cain quickly regretted his decision but found himself arrested after crashing a car and assaulting a police officer. As expected, Moira was livid when she received a call from Cain in jail.
Now, fans are speculating that Moira might cheat on Cain with Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) amidst all the ongoing drama in the Dales. Additionally, another theory suggests that Moira might already be aware of Cain’s affair with Ruby and could be plotting revenge.
On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one viewer commented: “At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if Moira ends up cheating.” Another added: “I can see her do that now Cain has. With Dr Liam? ” A third speculated: “What if all this time Moira knows about Cain and is planning some revenge? He could catch her in bed with Liam.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
