Emmerdale favourite Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) is expected to make a full recovery following the dramatic hit and run that almost killed her, doctors have told her relieved family members.
The farm owner has been fighting for her life since Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln) mowed her down and fled the scene.
With serious internal injuries including a torn liver, Moira was put into an induced coma and taken in for life-saving surgery.
Estranged husband Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and son Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) maintained a bedside vigil but the news finally came tonight that the operation was successful and doctors were hopeful that Moira would recover.
Fans have been worried for the character and were delighted when Moira opened her eyes at the end of Friday’s episode.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Yay Moira is awake.”
Another added: “So glad Moira is on the mend.”
A third said: “Yes Moira.”

“I honestly don’t know what I would have done if we lost you.
He added: “So you just concentrate on getting better.”
Thinking she was asleep, Cain left the room only for Moira to open her eyes to reveal she had heard his every word.
As a cheeky smile crept across Moira’s face, fans wondered if this was setting the scene for the popular couple to reunite and finally put Moira’s infidelity with Cain’s son Nate behind them.
