Emmerdale boss promises a huge story for Moira this year

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale has been giving plenty of big storylines to a host of characters lately, but that can mean that others fade into the background.

But you can never keep a good soap character quiet for too long, and in the case of Moira Dingle, the soap's producer Laura Shaw has teased to Digital Spy and other press outlets that there's plenty in store for her.

"I don't think Moira fans need to worry at all, as we've got plenty coming up for her this year. She's going to be the person to lean on for more than one of her family members.

"We're going to see her be given one of the biggest decisions of her life when she's asked to keep a huge secret and she's going to struggle massively with that.

"On another side of the fence we're also going to see something Moira thought was in her past and that she'd dealt with, come back to haunt her in quite a big way.

"The ramifications of that are going to affect quite a few people. Again, we're going to see her really tested as to how she deals with that difficult situation."

Shaw also recently teased that there are plenty of twists to come in Charity Dingle's love life with the return of Vanessa Woodfield.

"Will we see Charity and Vanessa back together in 2022, or will we see Vanessa head off in a new direction maybe? I think it's going to be time for people to decide whether they are team 'Vanity' or team 'Mackity'," she said.

"Charity is also going to be affected by some heartbreaking news involving Ryan that is going to see some huge emotional scenes play out between mother and son. This is going to have some influence over Charity's relationship."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
