Emmerdale fans ‘work out tragic death’ after barn fire – but it’s ‘not Cain or Moira’

Viewers of Emmerdale have been left convinced a shocking death will air, but that it won’t be Moira Dingle or Cain Dingle.

The pair were feared to have been killed off on Wednesday night as an explosion ripped through a barn. The pair were trapped inside and trying to find a way out of the blaze, just as the barn erupted into a fireball.

As their loved ones outside screamed and watched on in horror, the episode ended with their fates not known. Fans were sure the soap legends could not have survived it, and are now fearing both or one of them will die.

But could it all be a red herring? Some fans think so, predicting a character will die in the aftermath of the fire. But they think it could be someone else in a sad twist, possibly from smoke inhalation.

Viewers are questioning whether someone who was in the barn but got out may die in a tragic twist despite seeming to have survived. Ruby Miligan and Mackenzie Boyd are both tipped to be killed off in the aftermath.

Taking to X, one fan posted: “I think someone will die of smoke inhalation possibly Mack or Ruby.” Another said: “Better not be Ruby.’

It comes as fans also speculated Nate Robinson would die in the blaze, with actor Jurell Carter leaving the role after five years. He wasn’t shown near the fire, but was last seen on the farm during Monday’s episode.

Viewers can’t help but wonder if in a major twist he will be killed off. Sharing the theory that Nate will sadly die in the fire, one fan posted: “Where is Nate please do not kill off Nate?”

Another asked: “Where was Nate? weren’t he off to see Moira? was he hiding in a petrol can?” A third added: “Nate will die a hero in the fire, and Cain will be utterly wracked with guilt over disowning him,” while a fourth said: “I know it hasn’t shown him tonight but I fully think Nate is in the barn.” Viewers will have to tune in this week to find out if anyone dies!
