Emmerdale is set to air emotional Cain and Moira Dingle scenes next as the soap’s brain tumour storyline continues.
Moira was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour following a string of abnormal behaviours and seizures. Things looked good when she was given a slot for an operation, but she turned it down upon learning of Zak’s tragic death and didn’t tell Cain she’d changed her mind.
In upcoming scenes, Cain is afraid of confronting the prospect of Moira’s death. Despite everything going on, Moira and Matty Barton intend to go ahead with their plan to visit Adam, which surprises Cain when they tell him.

Later on, he struggles with the idea of Moira going away. When they comfort each other, they’re both heartbreakingly aware of the fact that he may soon be saying goodbye to her forever.
Moira’s actor Natalie J Robb recently spoke about the storyline, stating: “I feel really fortunate to be trusted with such a challenging storyline.
“Moira and her family have an extremely challenging time ahead, and I’m hoping I can portray it in a truthful way that does justice to all the people who are really suffering with a brain tumour.”
