Emmerdale fire horror confirmed as Moira is targeted in early ITVX release

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 16.

It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.

Moira was thrown behind bars for double murder and supposed involvement in Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) operation.

The beloved character was totally innocent, but framed after some clever work from Celia, and the planting of some ID cards by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).

For ages, it seemed as though Moira was going to go to prison for years.

The police struggled to find evidence that proved she’s didn’t commit any crimes and eventually, Moira’s hope faded away.

She told Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) that she’d plead guilty at the hearing, believing she’d get a shorter sentence if she chose that option.

Fortunately, a miracle happened and it was produced by Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) of all people, who managed to find out from Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) that he once hid a number plate for Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) while on the farm.

The number plate was traced to a storage unit in Hotten, which contained piles and piles of documents the police needed to go over.

The family then told Moira about the launch of the Dingle Farm, and how it was created especially for her.

Moira was surprised and grateful, but the likes of Cain, Lydia and Sam Dingle (James Hooton) knew that what Moira really wanted was her old farm.

She then headed to what used to be Holly Barton’s memorial tree.

It was destroyed by Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) a few days ago, and now all that remains is a stump.

Moira was devastated by what was in front of her.

In a quiet moment by herself, she cried beside Holly’s tree and said that she was sorry.

Her journey of processing everything that’s happened while she’s been away then took Moira to the kitchen of her old house.

She told Robert that she wasn’t really sure what she was doing, her legs just took her back to the place she used to belong.

The time for reflection was over quickly, as Moira, Robert and Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) started smelling smoke from a barn.

Outside, Moira quickly took control of the situation and put a fire out that had started within one of the barns.

Watching this unfold was Joe, who took pleasure in pointing out the fire probably started because someone had heard about Moira – who got charged for modern slavery – getting released.

Terrified, Moira feared what may happen next – but was a stranger responsible for this?

Or was it someone Moira knows?
