As the Dingle-Tate feud intensifies, fears for Natalie J Robb's future on the soap Things weren't looking good and Cain made it all worse Cain Dingle Joe Tate Moira Dingle Share By Carena Crawford Jul 29 2025 By Carena Crawford Jul 29 2025 Moira Dingle’s worst fears came true on Tuesday July 29 when she was arrested for assault – but does this mean she is leaving Emmerdale? Although the charges were eventually dropped, there is still a question mark hanging over the future of Natalie J Robb on the show, given all the stress she is under – and the fact she is now at war with Lydia and Sam. Moira found herself under arrest (Credit: ITV) What happened in Emmerdale tonight? Moira was arrested for assault and hauled down to the station. Meanwhile, Joe went to visit Lydia and Sam and played the caring, smarmy employer. Apologising and insisting he had nothing to do with the thugs threatening Kyle, Joe said he likes Sam and Lydia and he wants them to trust him. But then he revealed he’d called the police and reported Moira for assault. At the station Moira asked Swirling how much trouble she was in. He admitted she could be looking at six months. Cain stormed round to the Dingles’ homestead. He insisted Lydia had to lie to the police, but she said she couldn’t do that. Menacing Cain said she needed to do as she was told. He made a very dark threat that Lydia had better stick to the party line. But will she? article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Joe later visited Lydia claiming he was the innocent party here. Lydia felt totally stuck in the middle and begged Joe to think of the kids and how he couldn’t blame Moira for losing it when Kyle was put at risk. Moira later arrived in the pub with Cain annoucing the complaint had been dropped. Moira thanked Lydia for not making a statement, but she said it was Joe who backtracked on it. However, it was clear the feud is still on when Sam told Cain to back off after bullying his wife. The men then squared up in the pub with Cain telling Sam to “think about family”. Insults were thrown and Sam said he had picked a side and it wasn’t Cain’s. Things got very tense between Cain and Sam (Credit: ITV) So is Moira leaving Emmerdale? Although the charges have been dropped for now, Cain sparking a feud with Sam and Lydia as well as the Tates could see more trouble for Moira. If Lydia decides to go back on her decision not to make a statement, to teach Cain a lesson about truth and justice, Moira could be in a lot of trouble indeed. It wouldn’t be the first time Lydia has grassed on a Dingle – she once reported Liv to the police over Ben Tucker’s death. She definitely values morals over the family code. Even if Lydia doesn’t go to the police, if the war with the Tates continued, it could see Moira evicted from her home and her job. With nothing left in the village, would this cause Moira to leave? Natalie J Robb has said nothing at all about leaving Emmerdale (fortunately). And after all she’s been through, we think it’ll take more than this to drive her out of the village. Natalie has also dropped hints of what’s to come in this storyline: “There’s more people that are going to come into it with more threatening behaviours, there’s some dark people coming into it.” So it seems like there’s life left in Moira yet – and some fight, that’s for sure! What else happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday July 29 Moira's drama wasn't all that was happening in Emmerdale tonight as Robert tried to prove John was no good and Dylan returned with a secret. Robert tried to get Chas on side Robert was in the pub, chatting to Chas. He shared his opinions with her on how John was always involved in playing the hero and that it was suspicious. Robert is the only one who is joining all the dots here and no one will listen to him! Chas dismissed him as jealous. Later, Robert found John's phone in the café and tried to unlock it. Annoyingly John returned for it before Robert could get access. John then offloaded to Chas in the pub, who insisted once again Robert was just jealous. But he's right, we wanted to scream! Dylan returned in Emmerdale tonight Laurel was hanging washing when she got the feeling she was being watched. And then she discovered Arthur's tracksuit trousers had been stolen from the washing line! She asked April if she'd seen anything weird, but April said she hadn't. Although she soon knew exactly what was going on when she went to Donna's grave and called for Dylan to come out. As they caught up, April asked if rehab had worked. Dylan told her he wasn't using and he was clean. But he also told her he had a job and a place to live. Turned out that place was the cricket pavillion - not the flat in Hotten he claimed. And the job seems to be something that involves him breaking into Butlers and getting stabbed with a pitchfork. So what else has he lied about? Charity felt overwhelmed Jacob arrived with folic acid for Charity and he and Sarah fussed round her. Charity was clearly overwhelmed by their ideas to feed her nettle soup to help her keep healthy. Sarah's perky positivity was too full-on for Charity and she told her to go out and have some fun with Jacob. All-the-while, Mack was sitting in the corner burying his own feelings. He tried to reassure Charity when she revealed she was scared she couldn't fulfil Sarah's wishes, but he failed to come clean about how he was feeling himself. Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale?
