ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' sad death twist after they spot 'missing' fire scene
Emmerdale fans are concerned for a certain villager's fate on the popular ITV soap after noting a 'missing' scene.
Lately, Moira Dingle's (Natalie J Robb) odd behaviour has concerned viewers and earlier this week she was responsible for igniting a catastrophic barn fire, mistaking Ruby Fox-Milligan (Beth Cordingly) for her deceased arch-enemy, Emma Barton (Gillian Kearney), whom Moira had killed in 2017.
Before setting the barn ablaze, Moira had attempted to kiss her stepson Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), who rejected her outright. However, Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) saw it and informed a livid Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), Moira's husband, leading Cain to assault his son and then disown him.
As Ruby relished in the upheaval, taunting Moira, she soon realised danger when Moira confused her with Emma and menacingly brandished a shotgun at her, just before a fire erupted due to spilt tractor fuel. In Thursday's instalment, after Moira was saved from the blaze and whisked off to hospital with other impacted individuals, doctors speculated on a mass in her brain causing pressure.

Meanwhile, Ruby confided in her spouse Caleb that Moira was going to leave her to burn in the barn, adding: "I should be dead!" This left viewers confused since the episode showed Moira attempting to save Ruby, suggesting that maybe Moira was sidetracked while assisting Ruby because Nate was concealed in the barn in a twist 'missing' scene, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Soap fans are expressing concern that Moira may have forgotten Nate was in the barn due to her memory lapses, and he could now be killed off the soap due to actor Jurell Carter's departure from ITV's Emmerdale. One viewer speculated on Twitter, now X: "I'm just thinking over #Emmerdale again. Ruby said moira was going to leave her to die, but we all saw her helping her. What if Moira saw Nate and went to help him, but because of the brain trauma she can't remember."
Meanwhile, another fan suggested: "Perhaps Nate did the classic and took some tinnies to the barn, got drunk and passed out, Moira saw him and that's why she left Ruby #emmerdale" while a third added: "Does anyone else think Nate was in the barn and is dead."
This comes as Emmerdale has revealed a heart-wrenching brain tumour storyline for Moira, teasing 'challenging' times ahead. On Friday night, viewers will witness the devastating moment when Moira, portrayed by Natalie J Robb, is diagnosed with a type of brain tumour known as a meningioma.
The shocking diagnosis provides an explanation for Moira's recent erratic behaviour, which includes personality changes, violent outbursts, confusion, memory loss and seizures. Despite the tumour being non-cancerous, Moira is deeply concerned about her future and the potential need for surgery and other treatments.
