Moira vows its business as usual in Emmerdale spoilers

Moira’s life has been turned upside down since being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

In the aftermath of the terrifying barn fire, Moira suffered a seizure in front of husband Cain. A scan at the hospital detected a mass on her brain, and doctors revealed Moira had a meningioma, a type of non cancerous tumour.

Medics have opted for a ‘wait and see’ approach to treatment, and Moira has said no to brain surgery. So now she’s left facing a very uncertain future. But despite her terror and fear, Moira is determined to carry on as normal. Her priorities are being a mum, wife, and of course, running her beloved Butlers.

But has she underestimated the toll its going to take on her already fragile health?

Moira makes a grave error at work

Matty is deeply concerned for his mum’s wellbeing and decides to move in to keep a closer eye on her. Moira is annoyed when she sees her son arriving with a holdall and carries on insisting she’s fine.

But that’s really not the case, and as Moira’s erratic behaviour continues, Mack and Matty make a worrying discovery.

Mack finds Butlers’ flock of sheep have somehow escaped and accuses Moira of forgetting to shut them in properly. Moira agrees to stop going out alone, but it’s too little too late when Mack and Matty locate the sheep.

They discover the majority of the flock are dead, and one is them is in a very bad state. Can the poor creature be saved?

Moira turns to Ruby for support

News of fatalities leaves Moira distraught as she struggles to remember how – or why – the sheep ended up escaping in the first place.

But the upsetting incident is also a wake-up call, as Moira accepts she needs to take a break from farming and focus on her wellbeing.

Afterwards, she reaches out to former nemesis Ruby, who’s also in distress after the death of her late mum, Helen. Ruby spent 30 years estranged from her parent before her passing.

As the ladies get talking, Moira opens up about her health struggles, while Ruby discusses her mother’s cremation. Will their shared pain help give Moira and Ruby strength to carry on?
