Emmerdale airs weeknight at 8pm on ITV1

The village’s morning peace is abruptly broken as a convoy of police vehicles heads down Main Street. DC Stewart arrives at Butlers Farm to interview the staff, whilst Moira heads off to collect Cain from the hospital. Robert and Victoria do their best to paint Moira in an innocent light in their interview and are left hoping they’ve done enough.

As their interview wraps up, Cain and Moira arrive home and their interview begins. Moira is left hoping she’s said enough as DS Walsh pushes her for answers about her relationship with Celia. When the police arrive to question Joe at Home Farm he doesn’t paint Moira in an entirely innocent light. Before long, up at the farm, Cain and Moira are interrupted by the police arriving with a search warrant.

Confident she has nothing to hide, Moira allows the police to begin their search, the police emerge from the lounge having found evidence. Moira is arrested on the spot on suspicion of human trafficking.

Moira is led away by police, Caleb prepares to help Cain by getting Moira the best lawyer possible. 

Actress Natalie J. Robb previously warned us of Moira’s ‘rocky’ start to 2026. ‘There are lots of good things coming up. We have the big episodes before and then Corriedale. But Moira is going to have quite a rocky time. It’s going to be stressful. The Celia drama will have a knock-on effect.’
