Moira destroyed in early Emmerdale ITVX release as two characters bring her down
Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) has been royally played by Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) in Emmerdale.
Struggling as a result of multiple fines, Moira very nearly gave up her role at Butlers Farm when Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) swooped in with a tempting offer.
She turned it down when she discovered that Joe had paid Noel from the water company to decline her appeal. This was a sign that the flame inside Moira was still burning – but it sadly got quite a bit smaller in the latest episode.
Celia popped by Moira's and revealed an update regarding their contract at a local hotel.
Celia, recognising the financial pressures both women are under, previously pitched a partnership. She suggested they combine forces: Moira would supply beef from her farm, while Celia would market and sell her poultry products to a reliable supplier.
The plan aimed to increase income for both and provide stability amid tough market conditions.
Celia explained that her outgoings have increased by £1000 a month thanks to her sly landlord, and she was aware of Moira's financial position. She saw a win-win opportunity for both women to solve both their problems.
The deal with the hotel left Moira hopeful that it wouldn't be long until Butlers Farm was back on track. Sadly, Celia returned a few hours later with some devastating news.
The plan was no longer going ahead, which meant Moira had lost thousands of pounds. Celia felt awful, knowing she had put Moira in this position because the partnership was her idea.
A while later though, we saw Celia again, and where she was standing very much proved she didn't feel the tiniest bit sorry for Moira.
The new face was visiting Home Farm to see Joe. It was then confirmed in that moment that she is working with Joe and Kim Tate (Claire King) as part of their plan to buy all of the land that surrounds Home Farm.
Celia confirmed the plot had been completed. As far as she was concerned, Moira made a massive error by agreeing to the deal so quickly and barely looking at the contract.
Joe was thrilled. It was a brutal twist and even Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) was horrified, though not enough to change the status of her and Joe's relationship.
Who are we to judge.
With Joe keen to make Kim proud, he isn't going to stop until the plan is finished.
When it comes to the fate of Butlers, Moira certainly should've known better, but going into Celia's deal with her eyes shut was clearly a sign of how desperate she had become.
The gamble has not paid off.
Is she about to walk away from farm life for good?
Celia Daniels made her arrival to the ITV soap in June. Her first scenes were with Moira, but she then became part of a story that saw Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) attacked by a dog that was on her farmland. More Trending
In the aftermath, Paddy took a bolt gun from the vets and went to the spot where the dog attacked him. He was found by Celia, who said that she had shot the stray dog already.

Celia got the upper hand in this conversation and scared Paddy away by practically screaming in his face. With his self-esteem low, Paddy unleashed his anger on his dad and said it would be better if he no longer lived with them.
It was a brief plot with Celia, but she made quite the impact in a very short space of time.
She proved that she did not care what other people thought of her, because making enemies in the village is far more enjoyable to her than making friends.

Emmerdale fans predict devastating twist in John storyline after mysterious phone call
Emmerdale fans have predicted that a major twist is on the cards for John Sugden amid his killing spree storyline after the corrupt medic made a mystery phone call during Tuesday night's episode Emmerdale fans have predicted that a major twist is on the cards for John Sugden amid his killing spree storyline. Viewers of the ITV soap will know that the corrupt medic has been responsible for the deaths of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter) and Owen Michaels (Simon Haines) since he arrived in the village last year. Just as Tuesday's episode of the Yorkshire-based serial drew to a close, viewers were left shocked when John stepped away from the bar for a moment to make a phone call. He said: "Hey, it's me. I could do with some help again. I'll message you the details, but there's a loose end that needs tidying up. Tomorrow." The identity of the person on the other end was not revealed, but fans suspect that this means John could have had some sort of help in killing his fellow residents and they rushed to social media with their theories. It comes as John's exit from the show was reported with it thought the secret killer will soon face his downfall. One fan wrote on X: "So has someone helped John murder Nate? Who was he on the phone too at the end?" whilst another frustrated viewer simply asked: "What is John up to now?" A third fan said: "who is john calling ? Quite a mystery ! Im thinking!", whilst one perplexed viewer pointed out: "Like no one can overhear John on the phone. Surely he'd go outside to make the call." And a fourth viewer wrote: "Who is John speaking to when he says "It's me, I need your help" Is it Paddy running a "it's good to talk" helpline who he's ringing? Or is Anthony who could have been hiding in the cricket pavillion since he disappeared?" Another fan suggested that it may be a case of false identity, as they said: "Is John talking to the real John sugden ? If not who so many questions this guy is more complicated than the flipping Spaghetti Junction" All the drama comes after Aaron cheated on husband John with his ex-husband Robert, John's brother, on Monday. The pair were unable to hide their feelings any longer, but now Aaron's trying to cover up the betrayal. But with spoilers revealing Aaron will try to convince John to move away, wanting to run away from the drama with Robert, could his husband already know the truth? It's not entirely clear whether the listening device is till in the house, but it had been planted in the living room. Some fans say John removed it, but plenty others cannot remember this happening. So does this mean it's still there, and in the very room where Aaron confessed his feelings and shared a kiss with his ex? There's every chance, fans say, that John now knows the pair have slept together, and knows exactly how Aaron is feeling about Robert. Taking to social media, fans predicted this would be how John exposes them, with some convinced he already knows about the fling. One fan posted: "HOLD ON A SECOND. Aaron and Rob taking about their feelings in the living room… isn't John's snooping device still plugged in? God I hope he hears every word." Another fan said: "Yes I think it is still there." A third fan posted: "So surely Johns going to hear them kissing & hear Aaron telling Robert he's missed him (along with everything else) unless of course the listening device now coincidentally doesn't work?!" A fourth fan wrote: "The fact that John's recording device is picking up EVERY WORD is so satisfying to me. HEAR THAT JOHNNY BOY, ur plan completely backfired!"

Emmerdale exit for fan favourite 'sealed' as new 'ruthless' villain exposed
Moira Dingle's future on Emmerdale has been left hanging in the balance as it has been revealed she is at the mercy of a new villain who was supposed to be her friend Moira Dingle's future on Emmerdale has been left hanging in the balance now that she has become tied up with the villainous Celia Daniels. The fan favourite, who has been played by Natalie J. Robb since 2009, is known to viewers of the ITV soap as a keen farmer, and viewers have watched her agricultural career go from strength to strength over the years, but on Tuesday's episode, it became apparent that all that will soon come crashing down. Fans will know that Moira had been feeling optimistic about a new farming contract that was on the horizon, and she thought that Celia (Jaye Griffiths) had been on her side with all the help she was supposedly giving her. But on the latest episode of the Yorkshire-based serial that that is not the case at all. Early in the morning, Moira was told to 'brace herself' for a big deal supposedly coming in from a hotel, and Celia offered to drop the latest order herself, and was reminded that payment was needed for the first one. Celia then called round to drop the bombshell that the contract had fallen through, fumbling an excuse about the chef not being happy with the produce. Moira fumed: "So now you're telling me we've got to write off thousands of pounds that we can't afford?" and Celia claimed that was now the 'only option' going forward. It comes as Vanessa kicked Charity out of her house just weeks ago after their kiss, which had sparked hopes for a Vanity reunion on the ITV soap. Moira said: "Every day is a struggle, and now this. Maybe I should just tap out before I'm knocked out!" But that was not the only twist in the episode as viewers learned of the deceit the hard-working farmer has been put under. Celia then made the trip up to Home Farm, and it became apparent that she has been working with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and Kim Tate (Claire King) to sabotage Moira's business this whole time. She coldly told Joe: "I have an update. I've just told Moira she's laid out thousands of pounds on an order that won't be paid. She delivered three orders without asking for a penny upfront, and she didn't read the contract properly. The woman's fool." Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) worked out what was going on and Joe confirmed that it was all being done 'under Kim's express instructions'. Joe then asked Celia just how much longer Moira was likely to last in the business now that all this has been set up against her. She replied: "She won't make her water fine payment, let alone feed her livestock so my guess that it will all be over a week," before it was revealed that the con woman has a deal in place with Kim to guarantee her six months rent-free with the option to lease extra land. Joe explained that it is Kim's intention that Moira will have 'no choice' but to sell and reminded Dawn that the ruthless millionairess 'always gets what she wants' in life. But this is far from the end of the story for the Dales' latest villain as the actress issued a warning to viewers. Jaye, who previously starred in Casualty and The Bill, said: "The Emmerdale audience are finally starting to see the true extent of Celia's personality. She's great fun to play but she is ruthless and there is plenty more to come!" Recently, Moira actress Natalie J Robb hinted to press that there the whole thing could have gone either way with the recent ordeal her alter-ego has been put under. She said: "She starts a kind of different approach, she starts to befriend her and Moira actually quite likes her in the end. "The question is, Celia could be working with someone else to try and push her out, but it's whether Celia will stick with that. She's a force to be reckoned with, she's not somebody you would go against!"

Emmerdale's John 'already knows about Robert and Aaron' after 'forgotten scene'
Emmerdale viewers are recalling a moment from weeks ago on the ITV soap that could reveal John Sugden knows about Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden's fling amid Robron reunion hopes There could be a major Emmerdale twist on the way according to a new theory ahead of John Sugden's downfall. With Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle's fling still under wraps, some fans have questioned whether a 'forgotten' scene could spell trouble. Aaron cheated on husband John with his ex-husband Robert, John's brother, on Monday. The pair were unable to hide their feelings any longer, but now Aaron's trying to cover up the betrayal. It comes as John's exit from the show was reported with it thought the secret killer will soon face his downfall. Now, fans have recalled a moment from weeks ago that could prove John knows about Robron's moment of passion, and is pretending he has no idea. After all if John was to admit he knew everything, the only way he could know what happened is via the secret listening device he bugged the house with. Last month Robert had no idea he was being spied on by his sibling, who wanted dirt on him. It's been John's mission to get rid of Robert for months, but it backfired this week when his latest cruel antics sent Robert spiralling, only for him to be comforted by Aaron. One thing led to another and they slept together, and now Aaron is keen to pretend nothing happened. But with spoilers revealing Aaron will try to convince John to move away, wanting to run away from the drama with Robert, could his husband already know the truth? It's not entirely clear whether the listening device is till in the house, but it had been planted in the living room. Some fans say John removed it, but plenty others cannot remember this happening. So does this mean it's still there, and in the very room where Aaron confessed his feelings and shared a kiss with his ex? There's every chance, fans say, that John now knows the pair have slept together, and knows exactly how Aaron is feeling about Robert. Taking to social media, fans predicted this would be how John exposes them, with some convinced he already knows about the fling. One fan posted: "HOLD ON A SECOND.

Another said: "I think he's going to know about Robron but will keep the info to himself…..until he wants to use it of course." A final theory said: "By the look of that spoiler picture the boys are in Vic's sitting room: where the listening device of 'M15 man' John is? Does he find out Aaron definitely has feelings for Robert & havoc occurs leading to his downfall & an eventual reunion. I do hope so."
