Moira Dingle will make her big return to Emmerdale in her family's hour of need next week.
Recent episodes have seen Moira (Natalie J Robb) taking a break from the village to stay with Nana Barton, after finally realising that her drinking had gotten out of control.
The stage will be set for a dramatic return next week as Matty (Ash Palmisciano) struggles with the responsibility of overseeing Butlers Farm.
Trouble arises when Cain (Jeff Hordley) sends Sam (James Hooton) to help Matty after hearing some unsettling rumours of rustlers roaming the nearby area.
Stubborn Matty will actually turn Sam away, going to Vinny (Bradley Johnson) instead as a group of rustlers start sizing up the farm in the distance.
Matty starts to notice some irregularities the following day when it appears as if some sheep have escaped. Though Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson) suggests they call Cain for help, Matty again insists on dealing with the problem on his own.
What to Read Next
Soon, one of the rustlers confronts the two, and though Matty and Amy are able to escape, they find that the property is being surrounded on all sides by the rustlers group.
It appears as if the rustlers will have their way with Butlers Farm, only for Moira to return from her getaway with a loaded gun. But how far will she go to save her family and their farm?
Emmerdale is set to air Moira's comeback scenes on Wednesday, February 12 at 7pm on ITV.
