Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) has struggled with the change in her everyday routine ever since she was diagnosed with a brain tumour in Emmerdale.
The beloved character is a mum who also works hard to run her farm in the village. Shortly after the diagnosis, Moira was forced to accept tending to her animals would no longer be a possibility after she accidentally killed a flock of sheep.
The development broke Moira’s heart as it served as a reminder that her health problems had completely altered her way of living.
Following the brain surgery, Moira has done her best to listen to advice from doctors and rest a lot, but a development in tonight’s episode of the ITV soap left her feeling frustrated the Moira of old still hasn’t returned.
During a visit to Butlers, Tracy (Amy Walsh) was offered another shift at the shop.
After hearing her talk money woes, Moira told Tracy to go to work, because she’d be fine looking after her daughter Frankie.
However, as Tracy left, Moira fell asleep on the sofa. Unattended, Frankie was seen pulling a chair near the kettle, which was sitting on the hob. As she climbed up, Frankie was stopped by an arriving Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson) and Matty (Ash Palmisciano).
As Moira woke up, she was upset to learn of what had happened.
When Cain (Jeff Hordley) got back, he blamed Tracy for allowing Moira to look after Frankie alone, but she said she had encouraged Tracy to take the shift at work for more cash.
Aware that Moira needed a little more support while she goes through her radiotherapy treatment, Cain told his wife that he’d close the garage for a few days so he can stay at home and ensure she is well looked after.
