Moira (Natalie J. Robb) went with Faith (Sally Dexter) to another hospital appointment in tonight’s Emmerdale, to discover what Faith’s treatment options are.
Currently Moira is the only person who knows that Faith’s cancer has returned, and she promised that she would be with her every step of the way.
Faith’s attitude to being told that the proposed treatment plan would hopefully buy her some time was that she wanted to start immediately. ‘Aggressive chemotherapy here we come!’ she said.
Faith tries to put on a brave face but you can see how terrified she is just below the surface and Sally Dexter is playing this difficult storyline brilliantly. She manages to convey the horrible tension of waiting to be seen at the hospital, and the sheer hard work of putting a brave face on for everybody else when you just want to cry.
This made her later scene with Chas (Lucy Pargeter) all the more heartbreaking, because Chas continues to be suspicious of her mother’s motives, accusing her of being ‘thick as thieves’ with Moira to try to win favour with Cain (Jeff Hordley).
When Faith told Chas she would like to spend some time with her granddaughter Eve, Moira knew that Faith is trying to make the most of the time she has, but Chas wanted to know what the catch was. Faith insisted her days of letting people down are long gone.
As Moira is forced to watch Faith go through this difficult experience and also have to face the negative and hostile reactions of Chas and Cain, how long will she be able to keep quiet about Faith’s illness?
