Emmerdale tonight: Cain and Moira presumed dead after explosion rips through the barn

In Emmerdale tonight it looked like Cain and Moira had perished when the barn exploded with them still inside. Is there any way they can make it out alive? Surely this can’t be the end for the soap power couple…

John and Mack rushed to save the day

Moira came round and tried to rouse Ruby, who was out cold. Then she found out locking the barn from the inside hadn’t been her smartest move as she couldn’t get out.

Meanwhile, Mack saw smoke coming from the barn and raced over there on his quad bike. John also arrived swiftly and took charge of the situation. Mack called the emergency services, with a serious lack of urgency in his voice, it has to be said – come on man, your sister’s in a burning barn!

Elsewhere, Chas was trying to get through to Cain with them all still thinking Moira was going through the menopause. For crying out loud, clearly there’s something much more seriously wrong with Moira! Then they got the call that the barn was on fire and they needed to go, fast.

Cain raced in to save Moira

In the burning barn, John and Mack had located Ruby. They managed to get her out just as Cain, Chas, Caleb and Will arrived. But with no sign of Moira, Cain raced into the burning barn to save his wife. The one he had declared things were over with.

He found Moira and she told him she loved him. They then got themselves under a blanket as Cain tried to lead them to safety.

Cue some very dramatic music that sounded a bit like the Casualty theme tune, as they tried to get out and then the barn exploded. With no sign of either Moira or Cain outside.

Thrown to the ground by the explosion, Chas screeched: “Caaaaaaiiiinnnn,” as she knew her brother had quite possibly perished.

But this is Moira and Cain, they aren’t gonna go like this, are they? Surely we need to find out what’s wrong with her and have a glorious reunion? Then again, there’s really no way anyone inside could survive that explosion… We’ll just have to leave it to the greatest hospital on earth, Hotton General, to work their magic.

And by the way, what’s taking the emergency services so long?!

Tom continued to manipulate in Emmerdale tonight

Rhona and Vanessa took action

Rhona told Vanessa Tom has been abusing Belle. Rhona felt awful she didn’t spot the signs, but Vanessa was more concerned with getting rid of him. They agreed he was gone.

Tom arrived and overheard Vanessa and Rhona slagging him off. But Vanessa was pretty upfront about it, telling him they wanted him gone for good. Tom threatened them with an unfair dismissal case as they didn’t have any evidence, but they stood their ground. However they were left feeling shaky after Tom’s reaction.

Jimmy then found Tom brooding and caught a glimpse of his temper as he snapped at him. Is Jimmy finally seeing what his nephew is really like?

Nope!

Obviously Tom managed to manipulate him again to his side. Great. Good one Jimmy, you idiot.

Amelia stood by her man

Elsewhere, Belle went to visit Amelia to try and talk some sense into her. But Amelia stood firm and then Jimmy arrived and said Tom had disappeared. Charity and Belle begged Amelia to see sense, but Jimmy continued to side with Tom and Amelia decided to believe him instead.

And then they all started to worry Cain had dealt with Tom. They needn’t have, though, he was far too preoccupied with a burning barn.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Will was packing the money for the blackmailer, when Kim walked in. He lied to her he was going to try the new gym in Hotton. But she got very seductive and suggested they found another way to burn off his energy. He shrugged her off saying they needed to take things slowly as it was too important to him. Hmm, was that a wise move? Do you turn Kim Tate’s advances down and live to tell the tale?

As Will then arrived at the blackmailer’s meeting point, he saw Caleb who told him about the fire. Will rushed off to help. And missed his meeting with his tormentor. Which he will surely live to regret.

Meanwhile, hypocrite Tracy was upset over Nate and Moira and said she should have known he would never change. Er, hello pot, this is kettle. Anyone else getting really fed up of Tracy being so self-righteous?
