Emmerdale is not on tonight and fans are fuming following dramatic cliffhanger

Emmerdale takes a break from our screens tonight because there is an England football match on the telly.

Soap fans are used to their fave shows being pushed aside when there’s football on – though we’re never really happy about it – but tonight’s scheduling has really got viewers’ goats.

Because last night’s episode of Emmerdale ended on such a dramatic cliffhanger!

Cliffhanger!

Ruby had come across Moira in the barn, intending to taunt her about her ‘kiss’ with Nate. But it was clear that Moira was acting oddly – spilling petrol and zoning out as Ruby spoke.

And then Moira began calling Ruby by the name ‘Emma’ as she hallucinated that she was back in another barn – remembering her confrontation with Emma Barton.

Moira was scared as she thought Emma was in the barn with her, and Ruby was freaked out, but Moira wouldn’t let her go. She held Ruby at gunpoint and then fired – sending sparks into the barn that set it alight.

Ruby tried to grab the gun, but Moira knocked her out.

As the episode drew to a close, Moira seemed to come to her senses for a moment, and desperately attempted to wake Ruby.

But then she spaced out again, rocking where she sat on the ground – and that was the end of the episode!

Forced to wait!

After such an exciting cliffhanger, the fans are desperate to see what happens next and now they’re being forced to wait thanks to the football!

And they are really not happy about it!

“Looks like Moira is about to pass out! and we have to wait until Wed now? Damn it!” said one disgruntled viewer.

“Emmerdale once again falls behind for bloody football we had enough of it with Euros could have aired Emmerdale but no hours worth of pointless waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle match stuff,” said another who wasn’t holding back on their opinion!

“Aargh no Emmerdale,” another viewer wailed. “Thanks to boring football we won’t see it tomorrow,” complained one more.

Thankfully it’s only one episode we’re missing this week and we’ll back in the thick of the action in the barn fire on Wednesday!

But will Moira and Ruby make it out alive? It’s not looking good for the pair right now!
