Moira Barton (played by Natalie J. Robb) has been spinning out of control recently with her drinking increasing, leading to her passing out on the sofa while her infant son Isaac screamed for attention. Once Cain discovered this he did his best to remove the children from her care – will she make a lethal retaliation?
Tonight (2 January) Moira was found face down on the sofa, while Isaac was left unattended in his bedroom.
When Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) arrived she noticed Isaac had a bad cough that had moved to his chest.
This had completely passed Moira by – and she had to break the conversation to be sick in the sink, due to a whopping hangover.
Chas pointed out how reckless Moira had been: “You got blind drunk and left the door unlocked. Anybody could have walked in. You’re on your own up here.”

As the pair traded insults, Chas tried to make her see sense: “Something is going wrong here, Moira, and you need to stop it, because you’ve been through enough.”
This infuriated Moira, interpreting Chas’s words as a reference to Holly Barton, who died after a heroin overdose in 2016.
Moira simmered at what she took to be a slight, saying: “I know how precious my kids are, Chas.”
She then admitted to drinking more because her “life is falling apart”, talking about how much she regretted her affair with Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
Then Moira received news from the hospital that Isaac had contracted a bacterial chest infection.
This wake-up call made Moira fearful of Cain’s reaction, telling Chas that if he heard about what had happened, he would take the children, saying: “I don’t think I could cope with that.”
Moira begged Chas to stay quiet, asking her to not say a word to him.
In a frank conversation between the pair Chas talked about her past living with an alcoholic, and she told Moira she couldn’t let anything happen to her nephew.

What Moira couldn’t prevent is Nate spotting Isaac with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), and he soon drew his own conclusions about her drinking.
Naturally, he bumped into Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and soon the truth slipped out, by way of a minor scuffle.
Cain raced to the farm where Chas backed up what he had heard, prompting him to whisk Isaac away from Moira’s care.
Enraged, Moira screeched into town to take the boys back from Cain, the pair making a scene in the middle of the village.

Moira’s fury was riding high and she tracked Nate to The Woolpack where she promised that Nate and Cain would not get away for what they had done to her.
In front of several drinkers, one of whom recalled Cain’s behaviour towards another mother of his child, Moria made a public vow: “He’s not going to get away with it this time.”
Does that mean Moira is ready to murder Cain to make sure he can’t take custody of her children?
