Emmerdale follow-up: As Moira’s family believe she will walk free, Bear’s tragic fate may have been sealed

Moira could be about to walk out of prison and return to Emmerdale a free woman following the discovery of new evidence.

The contents of Celia and Ray’s lock-up will surely put Moira in the clear and see her avoid jail. But while her future is suddenly looking more hopeful, Bear’s a long way from freedom.

Tomorrow’s trip to the Dales sees Paddy’s dad make a mistake which results in him being accused of Ray’s murder. DS Walsh thinks she’s found her killer and Bear fears his fate has been sealed.

Will he be left to rot in prison until his dying day?

It was Robron to the rescue in Emmerdale

In tonight’s Emmerdale (Monday April 13) the race was on to save Moira.

Cain was anxious about his wife’s decision to plead guilty at her court hearing. He informed Marlon and Lydia that Moira would likely receive a six-year sentence, with the hope of being out in four. Cain explained this would cause Kyle and Isaac the least damage, but Marlon urged Cain to talk Moira round.

Back in the village, Robert was ready to take the rap for Moira when a call came in from Bear with a new lead. Bear had remembered about the number plate he hid for Ray – YH23RBF. Robert thought they were too late, but Aaron asked for an hour to investigate.

Moira was saved at the eleventh hour

Cain got on the phone to Moira and pleaded her to fight. His words fell on deaf ears as Moira refused to listen and ended up hanging the phone up on her husband.

Thank goodness for Kammy, though! The quick-thinking mechanic pointed Robron in the direction of a lock-up which he recalled Ray once using. Robert and Aaron headed over there, but it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. They returned to The Woolpack defeated, but then Marlon remembered the key he found at Celia’s farm. It was retrieved and within minutes the unit, and its incriminating contents, were discovered.

As word reached Cain of this miracle breakthrough he discharged himself from hospital and dashed off to court. He made it just as Moira was being escorted in and Cain shouted the good news to her.

This evidence is likely to see Moira walk free, but will Bear be in the clear too?
