Moira and Cain storyline gets fans switching off as they fume at the writers

Fans of Emmerdale have been left fuming at recent developments between Moira and Cain – as she received some shocking news, and he continued to spiral out of control.

Learning that she would have to undergo radiotherapy due to the risk of her tumour returning, Moira was in a state. She reached out to Cain in her time of need, but he let her down – smashing into Jai’s car and assaulting a police officer.

As the episode ended, Cain was in a prison cell, and Moira was fuming – telling him not to bother coming home. This comes as Cain continues to struggle with his guilt over cheating on her with Ruby a few weeks ago.

Cain and Moira’s marriage isn’t in a good place, then – and fans really aren’t happy about it.

Emmerdale fans slam writing as Moira and Cain marriage hits the rocks

Writing on social media as last night’s episode aired, fans shared their frustration at the sorry state of affairs (no pun intended) between Cain and Moira.

“Wish they wouldn’t do this to Cain n Moira let them be happy it’s getting too gloomy,” wrote one fan under a post on Instagram.

“Will somebody sack these writers and bring new talented ones in. Not everybody has to have bad relationships. Why can’t you leave Moira and Cain alone? They’re good together. You always have to spoil a good thing,” bemoaned a second.

“What ruined this storyline was the Cain and Ruby scene. Cain should’ve been there for Moira and perhaps Ruby could bump off her old man. He deserves it,” another viewer threatened.

“I’m wondering if the writer(s) just doesn’t like happy couples. Doing her best to split Ruby and Caleb. Now splitting up one of the nicest couples Cain and Moria. Honestly it could be renamed Misery Dale,” a fourth joked.

Has the soap gone too far in its treatment of Cain and Moira?

If so, things are unlikely to get better anytime soon – as a tormented Cain decides to confess up about his fling with Ruby tonight.
