Emmerdale fans in 'love' with little Isaac Dingle: 'He's acting everyone else out of the village'

Young Isaac Dingle actor Bobby Dunsmuir has proved himself quite the Emmerdale superstar in recent weeks and it’s not gone unnoticed by fans.

He previously came to viewers’ attention when he adopted Minty the lamb and left them devastated when Minty died.

However, it was his quick-thinking last night (Thursday September 19) that saw him call an ambulance for Moira while she was having a seizure that got fans talking again.

Isaac acts to save Moira in Emmerdale

Moira has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She has been advised by the hospital to follow a ‘watch and wait’ course of treatment, where they will keep an eye on things and operate if the tumour gets any bigger.

However, Moira so far has ruled out having surgery altogether, much to the dismay of her family. Due to her seizures and odd behaviour, she can’t be left alone in charge of her kids. But last night, Mackenzie had to pop out to collect a sick Moses, leaving Moira looking after Isaac.

Although she insisted she would be fine, she wasn’t when she and her son were setting up a cushion obstacle course and she collapsed having another seizure. Isaac was terrified and started shouting “Mummy, Mummy” as Moira lay lifeless on the floor.

But he also managed to call and ambulance, meaning the paramedics arrived and helped Moira. What a little star!

Moira was overwhelmed when she realised her son had saved her, but he didn’t want any praise, he simply told her he just wanted her to be his mummy for years and years. Will this make her rethink her surgery decision?

Fans gush over Isaac

Those watching at home couldn’t contain their love for young Isaac on social media.

“Well Emmerdale has killed me off tonight with Moira, Cain and Isaac, that last scene. ‘I want you to be my mum for years,'” wrote one alongside a series of crying emojis.

“Isaac is too adorable,” said a second, with many others writing the same sentiment.

A third wrote: “The young boy Bobby Dunsmuir who plays Isaac Dingle is a great wee actor. He was brilliant tonight.”

“That kid who plays Isaac is an absolute star in the making. He’s gotta be the most adorable kid since April when she was little,” agreed someone else.

A fifth added: “Love Isaac out-acting the rest of village idiots!” Someone else also agreed: “Isaac is acting everyone else out of the village!”

“More Isaac he’s brilliant,” begged someone else, while another said: “Isaac is such a great little actor. A star in the making.”

Emmerdale: How old is Isaac Dingle?
