Moira Barton’s biggest Emmerdale stories

Played by Natalie J. Robb, Moira has become one of Emmerdale’s standout characters since her debut in 2009.

AFFAIR WITH CAIN DINGLE

In October 2011, Moira began an affair with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), whom he had previously hated.

At the time, she was married to her first husband and childhood sweetheart, John (James Thornton).

THE DEATH OF JOHN

In the characters’ backstory, John and Moira had been married since 1990. They shared three children: Adam, Hannah (now Matty), and Holly.

As John struggled to forgive Moira’s infidelity, he also realized he couldn’t live without her.

In short, the character of Juan was written by having a car accident and fatal cardiac arrest.

Moira and Cain subsequently began a relationship and later got married.

THE FATHERHOOD OF ADAM

It turned out that Cain wasn’t the first man Moira had an affair with.

She previously slept with John’s brother James (Bill Ward), with the revelation that he is the biological father of her son Adam.

MURDER OF EMMA BARTON

Emma (Gillian Kearney), James’ ex-wife, was introduced as a soap villain and reunited with her clan after two decades.

In October 2017, Emma was murdered in a who’s-truth story after being pushed off a viaduct.

He last reappeared in December 2017 for a flashback, where his killer was revealed to be his archenemy Moira.

“She’s very brave because that’s the real turning point, where she goes: ‘Okay, I’m going to face this.’ It’s a combination of that, I think she walks around a little bit remembering her farm, but that’s it, just remembering all while it’s still good and while it still has it.”

Speaking about the response from her fans, Natalie said: “I was so excited, everyone was saying, ‘Were you worried about getting killed?’ She assured me right away and when people decide to do that for you, that’s in the lap of the gods, there’s nothing you can do about it.

“But I was excited because it’s been a while since I’ve had a story, and I have to say, the feedback I’ve had with people on social media, the number of people who are actually going through this in real life.” Life is extraordinary, I had no idea. So it’s been great that we’ve raised awareness and that people have been able to relate to it.”

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
