The last two weeks have put Moira (played by Natalie J. Robb) through the ringer on the ITV soap, after she realised she was unexpectedly going into labour during Emma Barton’s (Gillian Kearney) shock attack in the barn.
Following the deaths of Emma and her son Finn Barton (Joe Gill) and a bout of recovery in hospital, Moira is no closer to moving on from her ordeal as she embarks on another traumatic storyline.
In upcoming scenes, the farmer starts to fall apart when she can’t stop Isaac from crying, convinced there is a serious issue with her newborn.
Even when the emergency doctor reassures Moira that Isaac’s distress is merely a case of colic, she refuses to listen to the professional.
Moira rushes to the hospital to get a second opinion on her baby’s distress, but the enormity of her situation sets in and she leaves him there.
Luckily, Isaac’s grandmother Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) discovers what Moira’s done and steps in to help.
The pair eventually head back to the hospital together where Faith tries to smooth things over, but will it be enough?
Or will social services deem Moira unfit to take care of her child?
Meanwhile, new pictures reveal Isaac’s father Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) will get involved as Moira tries to adapt to her new life.
Could this be the catalyst that brings the couple back together?
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.
