Natalie J Robb Reveals Moira Barton’s Shocking Illness
Moira Barton has had blackouts, seizures, and memory problems lately, and fans have made all kinds of guesses. Recently, actress Natalie J Robb confirmed that it’s PTSD. Next week, Moira starts seeing visions of the serial killer Emma Barton, whom she killed.
The soap star revealed that Moira is completely confused about her condition. She mentioned that her character is suffering from PTSD, which becomes evident during scenes in the barn. She explained that the barn, being a significant location in Moira’s traumatic past, triggers her PTSD.
This causes her to see visions of Emma. Moira starts to confuse Ruby Fox-Miligan with Emma and struggles with her identity, asking, ‘Who’s Emma? Who’s James? I don’t know who these people are!’ Describing Moira’s condition, the star said, “Very triggered, loses the plot a bit and doesn’t know where she’s at.”
She shared that a fierce fight ensues, leading to Ruby being knocked unconscious by Moira. Once Moira comes out of her PTSD episode, she is horrified and disoriented by what she has done. Natalie explained that after the incident, Moira tries to wake Ruby and help her, but she doesn’t recall why Ruby was in the barn initially.
Despite the intense scenes, the ITV actress expressed excitement about exploring Moira’s dark past. She initially doubted how the scenes would turn out but was reassured by the positive feedback. She praised David Beecham, the director, and the entire team for their excellent work during the filming.
Although she has not yet seen the final product, she believes that despite the complexity of the scenes, everything will come together and make sense in the end.
