If you tuned into Emmerdale tonight expecting classic Dingle justice as Moira and Cain took on Celia, you weren’t alone – and like us, you were probably left feeling seriously short-changed.
After all the build-up, Moira and Cain didn’t take Celia down at all. In fact, by the end of the episode, it was painfully clear she’s still firmly in control… and they’re the ones staring down the barrel of trouble.
We really thought this was the moment Celia would finally get what was coming to her. Instead, she walked away smiling – and it’s Moira and Cain who look dangerously exposed.

Moira and Cain back down as Celia plays the game in Emmerdale
Following Thursday’s explosive showdown, Moira and Cain were all set to confront Celia. But doubts crept in for Moira, and meanwhile Celia was already telling Ray that they’d be gone by New Year’s Day, heading off to Wrexham.
When the confrontation finally happened, Celia completely flipped the script. Turning on the charm, she revealed she’d transferred the money Moira was owed – and then casually offered an extra £2,000 in cash as a so-called goodwill gesture. Yes, the very same £2k Ray had earlier taken from Marlon.
Moira agreed to drop the matter and refused the cash. And just like that… it was over.
No revenge. No reckoning. And no Dingle takedown.
It left us wondering what on earth happened to all that talk of Celia needing to “watch her back”. Where was the fire? Where was the justice?
Ray was just as baffled, questioning why Celia had let Moira off so lightly. But Celia was quietly confident, telling him Moira and Cain were already in too deep – and by the time they realised it, she’d be long gone.
Once again, Celia had the upper hand.
Later, Celia ordered Ray to start wrapping things up, but he tried to delay the move, arguing they’d be foolish to walk away from the deal with Marlon. Celia shut that down fast, revealing April would be going with them, ensuring Marlon would still pay. Chilling stuff.
