Emmerdale fans fear iconic couple have died in terrifying explosion


Emmerdale fans were left reeling after a massive explosion rocked Moira Dingle's barn on Wednesday (September 11), putting lives in jeopardy.

In harrowing scenes, Moira (played by Natalie J Robb) and Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) are found unconscious and trapped within the burning barn.

The fire was ignited when Moira accidentally spilled tractor fuel on the floor, which was subsequently set alight when she fired her gun and the bullet hit a light, causing sparks to fall onto the fuel.

Within moments, the barn was engulfed in flames, with Moira frozen next to Ruby's body. Spotting the smoke from afar, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) attempts to contact his sister, Moira.

A phone call from Mack alerts Cain, Caleb Milligan (William Ash) and Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) to the blaze, and they rush towards the barn where Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) is also trying to lend a hand, reports the Express.

Exchanging anxious glances upon reaching the barn, both Mack and John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) enter the burning building in an attempt to rescue Moira and Ruby.

Upon arrival, Cain dashes into the flaming barn despite a frantic Chas attempting to restrain him, intent on saving Moira.

He discovers Moira alive, but they soon find themselves trapped inside the burning barn as they try to escape.
