Emmerdale fans are buzzing with theories about what’s really happening to Moira Dingle, and one viewer believes her strange behavior has a far more sinister explanation than a mere health issue. Over recent weeks, Moira’s uncharacteristic actions have raised concerns within the Dingle family, especially after a terrifying seizure. Many viewers speculate that she may be suffering from a brain tumor or early onset dementia due to her memory lapses and moments of confusion. For instance, she once told her son they’d discuss something at home, despite already being at home, and even came close to accidentally harming her brother, Mackenzie Boyd.
However, a particularly intriguing theory suggests that Moira isn’t battling an illness at all—she’s being drugged by someone in the village. One viewer speculated that John Sutton, who isn’t who he claims to be, might be drugging both Moira and Mackenzie. This theory adds an ominous twist, as John could secretly be their long-lost, bitter half-brother.
Next week’s episodes promise to bring even more chaos. A deadly explosion is set to tear through Moira’s farm barn, leaving several lives hanging in the balance. New spoilers hint that Moira’s erratic behavior will escalate, with a shocking moment involving her stepson, Nate Robinson. In a chilling twist, Moira’s perception blurs, and she starts hearing the voice of her old nemesis, Emma Barton—the woman Moira killed back in 2017. Moira becomes convinced that Emma is haunting her at the barn, further deepening the mystery surrounding her condition. Actress Natalie J. Robb, who plays Moira, has teased fans with cryptic hints, leaving everyone wondering what’s really going on.
