Emmerdale’s Emma Barton plots revenge against Moira Dingle

She's made a threat and she's likely to keep it

She’s had killer form in the past and now some fans are worried that’s exactly what she’s planning for Moira.

It all started when Ross Barton wanted money from the farm Moira runs. His father, James, was a partner in the place and left some of his shares to Ross.

But Ross wanted his £40K out so he could invest in the failing cab firm he operates with his brothers, Finn and Pete, and Moira refused to pay up.

Ross took matters into his own hands and decided to steal his share – by thieving the cows. But his plan wasn’t all that good and Moira soon found out what he was up to.

Despite the fact he stole the animals back and returned them to her, Moira insisted the only thing that would stop her going to the police was if he signed his share of the farm over to her.

“Pretty much a lose lose situation, that,” Ross told her as she asked him what he was going to do.

She told him he’d created it all by himself, but Emma wasn’t standing for her threatening her son, and tried to step in, telling Moira they could have her arrested for blackmail.

Emma was even more angry when she discovered Moira had shot Ross while trying to protect her cattle.

As Moira stood firm and told him next time she wouldn’t just graze him with the gun, upset Emma was desperate to keep her son out of jail.

Once Moira had left, Emma told Ross he needed to sign his share over before promising him they’d see to Moira and make her pay one way or another and she’d never even know what had hit her before it was too late.

Moira thought she’d won as Ross agreed to hand over his shares later on in The Woolpack. He was furious as he told Emma he had “nothing left” of his dad, and that Moira “always wins”.

But Emma’s not going to let that happen, she’s going to make sure she avenges her son.

And some fans believe she’s going to turn to murder to make sure Moira gets what she deserves.

Elsewhere on last night’s show, Arthur Thomas watched the video of Emma talking to Ashley and confusing him after the accident in which she killed James.

Fans have been waiting for the video to be discovered for months, but Arthur watched it without sound and while Laurel and Doug were running around trying to catch the lad’s escaped school hamster.

Will he tell his mum and grandad he saw something unusual on the tape? Does this mean Emma’s finally going to get caught out? Or will she kill again before that happens?
