Emmerdale has unveiled that Moira Dingle is secretly grappling with an alcohol relapse, a fact she’s kept hidden from her husband Cain and son Matty Barton. Recent episodes of the ITV soap have seen Moira’s behaviour causing viewers to raise their eyebrows due to her unexpected outbursts.
Earlier this week, Moira couldn’t hide her satisfaction when Samson Dingle was put behind bars after admitting he falsely accused Matty of stabbing him.
Sam and Lydia Dingle were left stunned as their son was escorted out of The Woolpack in handcuffs, but Moira was seen smirking. This sparked Cain’s suspicions about his wife’s involvement in his nephew Samson’s arrest.
Back at home, Cain confronted Moira about her reaction to the arrest. She strongly denied calling the police, but then sent a glass flying across the kitchen and into a wall.
On Tuesday (August 7), Cain suggested they forget their previous night’s argument, but Moira soon stirred up more tension, reports the Express.

“They should throw away the key”, she commented about Samson’s prison sentence, accusing him of making the situation worse by trying to toughen Samson up for prison.
Moira’s harsh words escalated on Wednesday (August 7) when she told her struggling son to “man up” following his prison ordeal. Matty criticised his mother for her lack of empathy, leading to a tense atmosphere between them.
During his Thursday trip to the village (August 8), Matty was relieved to patch things up with Moira, but red flags went up when he noticed his mum kipping off in broad daylight.
Tiredness, she insisted, was down to grafting all hours and keeping the house spick and span she made Matty promise not to blab to Cain about her odd snoozes. Moira herself couldn’t puzzle out why she was suddenly so knackered and didn’t fancy her grub.

Matty zipped it for Moira, however, later a phone check-in had him snagging on the truth.
“Yes, I have eaten some food and I’m all rested and I feel like a new woman”, Moira fibbed to Matty while nicking a swig of whiskey. Once off the blower, she quaffed a hefty gulp and remarked, “That’s nice.”
Grabbing her glass and the booze bottle, Moira hinted she might be tumbling back into old boozing habits after kicking the habit three years past. Meanwhile, Cain’s been airing his woes about Moira to Sam. Will Moira reach out to her other half for help?
