Joe forced Robert to frame Moira in Emmerdale tonight<\/h2>\n

Joe has video footage of Victoria stabbing John Sugden<\/a> in the neck with a needle. He is using it to blackmail Robert into giving him his share of Moira\u2019s farm.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

He also has Robert doing his bidding, including planting passports and ID cards for Celia\u2019s forced workers at Butler\u2019s so it looks like Moira was in on the whole human trafficking operation. Joe will then use Moira\u2019s vulnerability to swoop in and take the farm for him and Kim.<\/p>\n

Robert at first refused to do what Joe wanted. But Joe told him what a mistake it would be.<\/p>\n

Then Aaron, who had been comforting Vic, unknowingly persuaded Robert to go through with it. He advised his lover to focus on keeping Victoria out of trouble and do what he had to. Totally unaware that meant framing Moira, Aaron was pleased when Robert agreed.<\/p>
