During Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, Moira Dingle arrived home following a break away, but fans were distracted by her hair.
Moira left the village temporarily at the end of October with son Matty to visit her other son Adam.
With the date of her brain tumour operation fast approaching, Moira returned home – with a brand new hair-do.
What happened to Moira?
Over the summer, Moira suffered symptoms such as confusion, memory loss and seizures. She was eventually diagnosed with a type of brain tumour called a meningioma.
Although she was told it was non-cancerous, she will be having surgery to remove it. In recent weeks, Moira has been preparing for the worst case scenario should the surgery not go as planned.
Cain quipped that her reason for having to go and see Adam was that she needed to do a “farewell tour”. Moira also prepared a living will, which means her husband Cain Dingle won’t have to make any life-or-death decisions for her, should her surgery go wrong.
Emmerdale has even planned a special episode which will follow Moira’s brain surgery as Cain anxiously waits for news.
However, through all this turmoil, Moira still thought to take a trip to the salon – and fans are wondering what is the point?
Moira’s new hair-do
Fans have taken to X to express their confusion over Moira’s new blonde highlights.
“Why has Moira had her hair highlighted two days before brain surgery?” asked one fan, with another writing: “So Moira has a brain tumour but she’s come back looking tanned, hair done and on top of the world. Also she walked in on her own? The last time she was in it she couldn’t be left alone.”
A third fan added: “Like Moira‘s highlights. Bit of a waste when they shave all her hair off to operate on her tumour.” A fourth fan echoed this, writing: “Moira… new blonde highlights two days before a brain operation. Right…”
“Where has Moira been?! The Sahara??! That’s some suntan & glow up!” joked another viewer.
But perhaps, if you’re about to have life-threatening surgery, a spot of pampering is just what the doctor ordered?
