The diagnosis came after weeks of worrying and out-of-character behaviour for Moira, which had left her family at a loss as to what to do.
Things came to a head after she caused the barn blaze and while everyone escaped unharmed in the end, Moira was hit with the shock news while in hospital.
This week, Moira was seen having a seizure while cooking breakfast at home.
She received news of an available operation slot the next day, but when Cain returned home from Scotland unexpectedly, Moira avoided telling him her operation news.
As Cain went for a shower Moira answered a call from Debbie – revealing the tragic news Cain’s dad Zak had passed away.
As the Dingles grieved their sad loss, her son Matty questioned her decision to delay her operation.
But in upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Moira accepts she needs to have the op as soon as possible.
Moira hears she has a new date for the operation to remove her brain tumour, however it quickly turns to worry over the tough journey ahead.
Meanwhile Moira asks a big favour from her friend Vanessa.
Emmerdale Producer, Sophie Roper previously commented on the storyline: “Moira’s diagnosis comes as a huge shock to both her and her family and Moira faces an emotional and challenging time ahead.
“The research and support we’ve received throughout this storyline has allowed us to depict the realities of the condition and though at times it may be distressing to see the symptoms Moira’s experiencing, we’re keen to explore the hope and resilience Moira finds as she comes to terms with her diagnosis.”
Actress Natalie said: “I feel really fortunate to be trusted with such a challenging storyline.
“Moira and her family have an extremely challenging time ahead, and I’m hoping I can portray it in a truthful way that does justice to all the people who are really suffering with a brain tumour.”
Cain Dingle's relationship timeline
Cain is the local hardman and has tormented and beaten his way through life during his time in Emmerdale. From kidnap to arson, Cain has done it all.
Cain has been the head of the Dingle family since 2015. Cain’s main storylines have focused on discovering his uncle Zak Dingle is his father, his relationships with his cousin Charity Dingle, discovering he is Debbie’s father, his affair and subsequent relationship with Moira Barton.
With four marriages so far, we take a look at Cain’s relationship history.

However, the child was taken away from Charity and she was kept apart from Cain who never found out about his daughter until many years later, even though Shadrach was aware of the situation.
1991: Cain had a relationship with Cara Robinson, a woman he worked in a bar with. Shadrach had a racist attitude towards her and used violence to attempt to make her stay away from Cain. Faith heard of the situation she wanted to help calm things, but was horrified when she learnt that Cara was pregnant.
