Moira is in grave in danger in the Dales as she’s trapped inside the barn after a huge explosion – Cain rushes in to save his wife and actor Jeff gives a big hint into their future
Drama is scorching through the Dales this week, with a major fire threatening the lives of some of Emmerdale’s most cherished characters. Ruby Fox-Miligan and Moira Dingle find themselves caught in a terrifying blaze, setting the stage for Mackenzie Boyd and Cain Dingle to perform a rescue operation. Caleb Miligan and Nate Robinson are tossed into the turmoil along with fresh face John Sugden, leaving viewers pondering, who will come out unscathed.
Taking viewers on a behind-the-scenes glimpse during Lorraine Kelly’s talk show, Jeff Hordley, who portrays Cain, revealed, “Cain arrives to this scene having just found out that Moira and Nate have been up to no good in his eyes. He’s just found out that Moira’s now in a barn that’s burning.”
Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie, confided, “I was just doing bits out in the field for Moira and I see it smoking and I realise something is wrong and I run in to try and save Moira.”
Intriguingly, Jeff might have let slip a critical spoiler concerning the fire’s aftermath, insinuating potential survivors, according to the Express. “With Cain and Moira I think there’s more to come, the aftermath of this is not just going to be ‘we saved you from the fire thank goodness you’re alive’ because there’s things to unpick and questions to be asked I think,” he mentioned, reports Leeds Live.
Are Jeff’s comments a subtle confirmation that Moira and Cain escape the flames? If that’s the case, what does it mean for Ruby, Nate, and Caleb? One thing is certain, it promises to be edge-of-your-seat viewing.
Beth Cordingly, who portrays Ruby, has also reflected on the intense scenes. She spilled that her character can’t “reason” with Moira and the events ramp up very quickly after that.
Moira shoots a gun in the barn, luckily it hits the light and not Ruby. But there’s looming disaster as oil spills all over the floor and then as Ruby wrestles Moira for the gun, she is knocked unconscious.
Meanwhile, Moira’s erratic behaviour, which has included a recent seizure, has fans and residents alike puzzled. Natalie J Robb, who plays the troubled character, explained her worries and confesses Moira is “unsettled” by what’s been going on. Natalie said Moira thought it was “early menopause” but that she begins to worry about her “outbursts” and continued to say Moira can no longer “control her anger”.
Natalie added: “And she’s having a little bit of a drink as well, so we don’t know if that is a contribution to it also, but [she] is not drinking as much as maybe the audience are led to believe. And there lies the interesting stuff to come.”
