Isaac Dingle (Bobby Dunsmuir) proved himself to be a hero of the Emmerdale village in tonight’s episode.
The young lad sat down with brother Kyle (Huey Quinn), dad Cain (Jeff Hordley) and mum Moira (Natalie J Robb) earlier this week to learn some important news.
Moira told Isaac and Kyle that she has a brain tumour. She explained that as a result of the mass, she sometimes experiences seizures and because of this, she cannot look after Isaac and Kyle on her own.
Because of how blunt Moira was in her explanation, the news panicked Isaac a great deal. In the instalment of the ITV soap that aired last night, Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) stepped in with a much-needed distraction for the young lad.
While the fort was being built, Moira was in the café talking to Brenda (Lesley Dunlop). She was opening up about how it feels as though her family aren’t allowing her to make her own decisions, and how she thinks no one is listening to her regarding her decision to not have brain surgery.
When Moira returned to Butlers, she told Mack to leave. Not wanting to suffocate his sister, Mackenzie double-checked with Moira’s choice and then left her alone with Isaac.
Moira was okay for a little while but just as Isaac left the lounge, she experienced another seizure.
Fortunately, quick-thinking and smart Isaac knew he needed to call an ambulance and moments later, Cain was on the scene as well.
As Moira started to recover, Cain informed her that he wasn’t around when the seizure happened, and that their young son was responsible for getting her help.
After a comment from Isaac about how he wants his mum to be around for years and years, it was clear something was changing for Moira.
The beloved character currently isn’t opting for brain surgery due to the risks surrounding the process, and what will come after. However, something she needs to give more thought to is what may happen long-term if the tumour isn’t managed with an operation.
Could Moira change her mind following this comment from Isaac?
