following a tumour diagnosis Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle, played by Jeff Hordley,

is set to face a heart-wrenching ordeal as his wife Moira Dingle, portrayed by Natalie J Robb, prepares for major brain surgery. Fans will remember that Moira was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in September, causing concern that she might be leaving the show. Natalie J Robb says fans have already messaged her saying they’ve been through similar The upcoming scenes will see Cain struggle with the fear of losing his wife, isolating himself in the garage as he grapples with the uncertainty of their future. A special episode of the Yorkshire-based soap will follow Moira’s surgery, focusing on Cain’s emotional turmoil. The episode will begin with Caleb Miligan (Will Ash) finding Cain drunk and with bloodied hands.

But what will happen to Moira? And could Cain’s struggle be provoked by a fatal mishap on the operating table? Natalie J. Robb, who plays Moira on Emmerdale, recently opened up about her character’s intense storyline, reports the Mirror. Chatting with The Mirror and other media, she shared her initial excitement: “I was really excited, everyone was ‘Were you worried they were gonna kill you off? ‘ She kind of assured me of that straight away and when people decide to do that for you, that’s in the lap of the gods, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Natalie also expressed how the plot has resonated with fans, saying, “But I was excited because it had been a while since I’d had a story, and I have to say, the feedback that I’ve had with people on social media, the amount of people that are actually going through this in real life, it’s extraordinary, I had no idea. So it’s been great that we’ve raised awareness and that people have been able to relate to it.” Reflecting on the impact, she added, “Some people have written, ‘Oh my god, I’m going through the exact same thing’, where Moira is right now, they’ve gone through it in real life. I’ve been at award ceremonies where people have come up and said ‘I’ve had my tumour removed’ and then they’ve shown me the scar and said ‘I’m absolutely fine now’ and always saying ‘Don’t be scared’, like I’m actually going through it – thank goodness I’m not. So it was actually a privilege, it was an honour to get that responsibility.”
