Emmerdale’s Moira and Cain Dingle have been through a tumultuous period recently. The popular couple, who got hitched in 2014, found their relationship in jeopardy when Moira discovered Cain’s affair with his sister-in-law Ruby Fox-Miligan.
To add to the pain, Cain’s unfaithfulness took place while Moira was undergoing a crucial operation for her brain tumour. Earlier this week, a distraught Moira decided to end their marriage due to Cain’s betrayal during her health crisis, asking a devastated Cain to leave their family home.
In Tuesday’s episode, Moira received encouraging news from her doctor that her latest scan was clear following her radiotherapy, indicating she is now in remission. She immediately shared the positive news with Cain but dropped the bombshell that she wanted him to break the news of their split to their sons, insisting he take responsibility for the heartbreaking revelation.
Shortly after, Moira headed to The Woolpack to celebrate her clean bill of health and the end of her marriage. However, Ruby, worried about Moira’s drinking, questioned her decision, leading to Moira revealing her reasons for celebrating.

This prompted Ruby to attempt to save Moira’s marriage, warning her against her decision and questioning why she couldn’t forgive Cain as he had done when she had an affair with Nate Robinson, reports the Express.
As the episode wrapped up, Cain headed home to break the news of their split to the kids. In a heart-wrenching moment, he confessed his undying love for Moira and regretted his past mistakes.
This led to Moira, after a sincere chat with Ruby, deciding to fight for their marriage, culminating in an emotional reunion with Cain. Fans were overjoyed at the pair’s patch-up, but some couldn’t help but wonder if Moira has a vengeful plan up her sleeve.
Social media was abuzz with reactions, one viewer commented on the twist: “Where did this come from, what an about turn, is it real or has Moira got a plan”, another was surprised: “Thought split for good so that was unexpected” and yet another speculated: “Don’t think it’s going to last , I’ve heard that moira is going to have an affair!”.
