<\/p>\nEmmerdale fans are convinced they have worked out who Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) and Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) have been holding hostage following Moira Barton’s (Natalie J Robb) reaction.<\/p>\n
Moira could tell Cain had been lying to her about doing business with Caleb, and she was keen to get to the bottom of it on Friday.<\/p>\n
During the drama-filled instalment, she followed Cain to Wylie’s Farm and surprised him with her annoyed presence.<\/p>\n
She demanded answers, but he was not going to tell her what he had been up to or who was inside a barn which had been nailed shut.<\/p>\n
However, Moira was desperate to know what her husband had been hiding and pushed her way into a room to find a person held hostage.<\/p>\n

He did leave on the run from the law so they would have to hide him?” (sic)\u00a0<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
