Celia’s cruel final revenge destroys lives in Emmerdale

Celia Daniels’ (Jaye Griffiths) evil doesn’t stop just because she’s dead. She got so much pleasure from other’s misery, she couldn’t resist one last punt.

Without even knowing she was going to die an untimely death, savvy Celia was careful to lay the groundwork to ensure utter carnage was left in her wake. Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) was easy pickin’s and it’s just a shame for Celia that she wasn’t able to sit back and watch Moira suffer.

And boy is Moira about to suffer.

Celia began her takedown of Moira when she lured her into business, then forged Moira’s signature on fraudulent invoices.

A perfect opportunity then presented itself when Celia had the chance to offer to take Moira’s things to the charity shop for her, as a ‘friend’. Instead, Moira whipped the blanket from the pile and used it to wrap up worker Anya’s dead body. Oh and she buried the body on Moira’s land.

The police have already found the fraudulent invoices, and Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) accidentally progressed Celia’s plan by planting evidence at Moira’s farm that she ran the forced labour operation.

The discovery of Anya isn’t far behind. And with Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) dead, and the IDs and passports found in Moira’s possession, it’s almost a surprise that Moira is surprised when she’s arrested for murder.

Moira and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) are floored when Moira has cuffs slapped on her. She fiercely maintains her innocence, claiming she’s been set up by Celia. But then comes the clanger, the police reveal that Celia’s is one of the murders the police have arrested her for.

Now is the time to panic as Moira realises how damning everything looks. Cain is also arrested but released without charge. He then learns from Caleb that one of the bodies found was wrapped in Moira’s DNA-covered blanket.

Moira is being charged with double murder, a twisted revenge plot from Celia from beyond the grave. Cain later visits Moira in prison, but is horrified to see her with a black eye and looking unusually anxious.
