Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ tragic death twist in dramatic barn explosion – and it’s bad news for popular family
A FIRE in Emmerdale has set fans theories in motion as they wonder who might meet their end.
The ITV soap has aired a dramatic storyline with Moira Dingle, Ruby Haswell and Nate Robinson caught up in a barn on fire, whilst Caleb Milligan and Cain Dingle watch on unable to help.
Whilst the soap has yet to confirm who might not survive the explosive fire, fans have been trying to work out what might happen next.
Fans have been quick to speculate who might die in the barn fire, with one person sharing their thoughts in an online forum.
They wrote: “Moira back to her old self, cheating on and punching Cain. Once she is in the hospital after the fire, she’ll get her medical diagnosis and all will be explained and forgiven. Nate will probably die.”
Another posted: “Nate is definitely for the boneyard me thinks….”
A viewer responded: “I think you’re totally right, I’m surprised that they’re going to.”
Yet another Emmerdale viewer shared their thoughts about how Nate’s death could play out. They wrote: “Big Nate had better not die!
But if he does, what’s the betting on him having an offscreen funeral, seeing as his mum, Cara, has not featured since the “Nate turning out to be Cain’s long lost son” reveal, where she turned up only briefly..unless an excuse is made for her absence (she didn’t attend Nate’s wedding, for instance) if the funeral is onscreen. (The actress who played Cara, has recently appeared in EE).”
Another shared thoughts for Moira:”So what diagnosis are we expecting for Moira?? Apart from a bit of smoke inhalation by the sound of it.”
Another responded: “I don’t think this show could (or should) even be taking on another medical storyline. The one’s still currently going on are horribly done.”
Back in June, The Sun revealed that Nate actor Jurell Carter had quit the ITV soap after five years.
He joined the soap in 2019 as a mysterious farmhand who seduced Moira Dingle into a passionate affair behind her husband Cain Dingle’s back.
It was later revealed that Nate was secretly Cain’s love child from an old relationship and he wanted revenge on his dad for abandoning him.
But when it emerged Cain had no idea he existed, an uneasy truce developed with the pair only recently becoming a solid father and son duo.
