An explosion rips through one of the barns in Emmerdale this evening, while Cain and Moira are trapped inside.
As the force of the Emmerdale explosion knocks the shocked onlookers off their feet, things look bleak for everyone who’s nearby.
But will everyone make it out alive? We took a look at everyone who’s there when the barn burns, and who could end up dead!
Ruby
As a frantic Caleb arrived at the barn in tonight’s episode, brave Mack was emerging from the flames holding Ruby. She may be out of the fire itself but she’s badly injured and was suffering from a head wound before the blaze took hold. Could she be one of the casualties?
Will Moira die in the Emmerdale explosion?
Moira started the fire when she fired her shotgun and caused sparks to ignite the petrol-soaked hay in the barn. But it’s clear she’s not herself and she was hallucinating when Ruby confronted her. With Moira already vulnerable and obviously unwell, will she even attempt to make it out of the flames?

Cain
Moira’s husband Cain has gone into the flames to rescue her but though Moira was more alert when he arrived, it looked grim. With their way out blocked by the fire and cans of petrol, it didn’t seem like there was any way to make it to safety. Undaunted, Cain wrapped a tarpaulin round them both and tried to get Moira to the door – just as the barn exploded. Will he make it out alive?
Caleb
Soaps are tricky things and sometimes you think someone is in dire straits, only to discover they’re fine and it’s the person who seemed okay all along, who’s in trouble. So while Caleb seemed to be only worried about Ruby, he was knocked off his feet when the barn exploded and we can’t help wonder if he might have injured himself?
Will
Still focused on his blackmailer’s relentless messaging, Will wandered off to take a phone call while the flames raged. He wasn’t with the others outside when the barn exploded. Was he too close for comfort? Could this be a really extreme way to put an end to his blackmailer’s demands?!
Mackenzie
Mack is not at his best right now, having just recovered from being attacked by a bull. He bravely ran into the flames to rescue Ruby but could this be the thing that finally finishes him off? He’s survived the bull, a stabbing, Meena’s maize maze blaze, the dramatic accident that saw his car plunge off a cliff, and the wrath of Charity when she found out he’d cheated. Is it going to be the barn fire that ends him once and for all?
Could John be hurt in the Emmerdale explosion?
Newcomer John is right there when the barn explodes. He seems unscathed as he sits up, shocked at what just happened. But he was inside the barn with Mack and smoke can cause a lot of damage. Is Victoria about to lose another brother?
Chas
Chas may have stayed outside the barn, agonising over Cain’s bravery as he headed into the flames, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. Could she have banged her head when she was thrown to the ground by the force of the flames? Perhaps she’s so worried about her brother she hasn’t even yet noticed her own injuries…
Nate
The last time we saw Nate, he said he was going to talk to Moira. We didn’t see him leave for Shetland and he’s not been seen since. Everyone in the village thinks he’s upped and gone. BUT… are we putting two and two together and coming up with five, if we say, perhaps he’s in the barn too? Or nearby somewhere? Perhaps he’s badly injured or even dead and no one knows to look for him!
