In Emmerdale, Moira Dingle’s behavior continues to spiral out of control, leaving fans deeply concerned about her well-being. As her troubling health issues, including unexplained seizures, remain hidden from her family, her emotional state worsens. Moira’s erratic actions are fueled by her growing dependence on alcohol, which further strains her marriage to Cain. After Cain begins questioning the state of their relationship, Moira confides in Dr. Liam Cavanagh, who suspects she might be going through menopause but advises further medical tests to rule out other causes.
Tensions rise when Moira mistakenly believes Cain is having an affair with her sister-in-law, Ruby. In a fit of rage, she confronts Ruby, resulting in a violent altercation where Moira headbutts her. Cain and Caleb try to intervene, but things take an even darker turn when Moira, in a delusional state, starts a fire in Butler’s Barn. Believing Ruby is Emma Barton, a villain from her past, Moira points a shotgun at her, and a bullet spark causes an explosion, engulfing the barn in flames.
As the family rushes to the scene, they are met with an explosion that knocks them off their feet. Viewers are left wondering if Moira or Ruby will survive the fire, with hints that one local may not make it out alive. Meanwhile, Moira’s forgetfulness and erratic behavior have led fans to speculate whether she is suffering from early-onset dementia or another serious health issue.
