Dark Moira Dingle revenge twist
Only recently Samson Dingle was stabbed in huge scenes on Thursday night with Matty Barton to blame for what has happened after the knife he was holding ended up in Samson’s stomach. In shocking scenes, Samson’s new friend Josh confronted Matty after he poured their paid-for beers down the drain. He was furious over Josh constantly flirting with Amy, despite knowing that Matty and Amy were recently married.
Things escalated when vile Josh started referencing Matty being transgender and in a furious confrontation, Matty warned them to leave – but Josh wasn’t having it. He pushed Samson forward, and onto the knife that Matty was holding. In horrifying scenes, Samson was whisked away in an ambulance – whilst Matty found himself arrested.
Next week will see Moira Dingle hellbent on revenge as she visits Matty Barton in prison
On Friday’s episode, Matty was grilled by police and it was revealed that there was no CCTV at the HOP or the Hide due to cost-cutting measures, which meant there was no evidence to back up Matty’s claims. To make matters worse, Josh threatened Samson to stick to his side of the story in order to keep themselves out of trouble. During the scene, Samson seemed very guilty as he pointed out that Matty is family. However, later on, Samson told the police that Matty had stabbed him with Cain Dingle, who is Matty’s stepfather, furious as he vowed to get the truth.
In spoilers for this week, Emmerdale has revealed a prison twist for Matty and next week will see Moira hellbent on revenge. In upcoming scenes, Amy and Moira visit Matty in prison, where Matty is on edge when Moira mentions his medication and he confesses he hasn’t showered since he arrived.
It’s not long until Moira is left shaken as her marriage and her life is falling apart
Meanwhile at the Dingles, Samson gets ready for work, but is unsettled by the arrival of Cain. Knowing Josh is the real instigator, Cain pleads with Samson not to let Matty rot in jail. Later, Moira is disheartened to hear Samson is still sticking to his story. As a plan to save Matty forms, Moira darkly states there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Later, Moira follows Samson to the Woolpack toilets full of dark intent… what has she got planned?
Later, Cain tries to warn Moira about messing up Matty’s case but Moira doesn’t want to hear it and emasculates Cain at the dinner table. The next day, Moira regrets last night’s tirade as Cain reminds her of the cruel words she called him. Later, a drunken Cain returns to Butlers and things spiral out of control. It’s not long until Moira is left shaken as her marriage and her life is falling apart…
