Emmerdale’s Moira and Cain’s sex disaster leaves them heartbroken

Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) promised Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) that even if they could never have sex again they would still be strong as ever. Now, let’s put that to the test.

In a romantic moment on a hospital gurney before Moira’s scan, the couple had a moment where Cain confessed his fears for their sexual future. Moira allayed them, and as she has done before, reassured him their love can conquer anything.

But that was before Cain denies her sex for the first time, and it might change everything.

Moira Dingle is out of jail and coming home to a very different life.

She’s returning from a prison stint for a crime she didn’t commit to having lost her home and beloved farm. All she just wants is some closeness from her husband, but he’s not the same either.

Cain is battling prostate cancer and has faced several setbacks, including a car accident delaying his life saving operation. He’s not the Cain Moira left behind.

Moira’s back in the village now and facing one heck of an adjustment living at the Dingles’ and with no proper role to keep her busy. Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) senses her unease and displacement, so offers her the house to have some alone time with Cain.

Moira jumps at the chance, having last had intimate time with Cain while Liam stood watch at the door.

But all it takes is some thoughtless mockery from Sam Dingle (James Hooton) to ruin Moira’s hopes of sexy times.

Sam gives a gentle ribbing that Cain’s in for a night of romance with Moira and humourless Cain instantly sours.

He feels like he’s been set up given that he is terrified of not being able to perform properly, and he’s fuming that Moira has discussed their sex life.

In Cain’s new dramatic manner, he storms out. Moira is gutted – she’s fresh out of jail and she’s already been abandoned by Cain.

She’s struggling to face her new reality. Will Cain be able to put his bruised ego to one side and help his wife?
