Cain and Moira are in crisis in Emmerdale spoilers

Life at Butlers Farm has been far from harmonious recently. Moira has been struggling since son Matty was wrongly imprisoned for stabbing Samson. It’s caused a divide between her and the Dingles, who are, of course, her in-laws.

Moira’s marriage to husband Cain is also on very rocky ground. The couple have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. But Cain has been finding it almost impossible to cope with Moira’s erratic mood swings.

She’s been picking a fight with just about anyone who gets in her way, and it’s totally out of character. Moira may be strong-minded, but she’s not spiteful, and Cain doesn’t like this new side to his wife.

Cain confronts Moira about her drinking

As the week begins, Cain is impressed to see new farmhand John dealing with one of their big clients. But his mind is soon turned back to Moira – and the bottle of whisky he found in her bag.

Tensions are high as Cain confronts his other half, wanting to know why she’s hiding booze.

Viewers will remember Moira has a long and complicated history with alcohol. She developed an addiction in the aftermath of her affair with Nate, then relapsed when Cain was falsely imprisoned for Al Chapman’s murder. And it appears she’s revisited her old demons after starting to drink on the sly.

There’s further concern for Cain when he witnesses Moira knocking back painkillers. He asks her about the whisky, but she points out the bottle is unopened. Surely that’s not enough to convince Cain she’s sober?

Cain gets the wrong idea about Moira and Nate

Following her run-in with Cain, Moira ends up confiding her woes in John. Strange choice – he’s not exactly the sympathetic sort!

Moira admits she’s worried about the state of her marriage and doesn’t know if she and Cain can work through it. But the odds of a reconciliation are looking even less favourable when Cain spies Moira having a drink with Nate.

Seeing the former lovers sat together raises Cain’s suspicions as he wonders if Moira is cheating on him again. He confronts Nate about it, who’s hurt Cain would think such a thing. Nate pleads with Cain to see sense, pointing out their relationship is finally in a good place. But Cain doesn’t want to listen as he storms off to see the kids.

Are Moira and Cain set for another explosive run-in? And will it be the final nail in the coffin for them?
