Emmerdale's Moira and Celia story completely changes tonight

Emmerdale spoilers follow from Wednesday's episode (27 August), which is available to watch now on ITVX and YouTube but hasn't yet aired on ITV1.

Emmerdale newcomer Celia Daniels makes the shock decision to scrap her scheming against Moira Dingle tonight.

The ruthless farmer proves she's not all bad as she chooses to defy Joe Tate's nasty orders – and make Moira her ally.

Last week, it was revealed that Celia has been in cahoots with Joe to destroy Moira's livelihood.

Celia agreed to team up with Joe and Kim Tate in return for an extended rent-free period on her current farmland. However, Wednesday's episode sees the tactless Joe push his luck too far…

What to Read Next

When Joe complains about the lack of progress with Celia's efforts, she doesn't react well to his harsh criticism.

Realising that it was a mistake to align herself with someone so unpleasant, Celia heads to Butlers Farm and makes a full confession to Moira.

Moira can't believe it as Celia admits to her sly role in Joe's grand masterplan, which was all geared towards convincing her to sell Butlers.

As the pieces of the puzzle all finally fall into place, Moira is horrified to realise that there never was a spa hotel deal like Celia claimed – which led to her losing thousands of pounds.

Optimistically, Celia still hopes for another chance from Moira despite the cruel cash con.

The new farmer in town defends her actions, revealing how desperate she was, but also suggests a fresh start where they're finally on the same side… for real this time.

Will Moira be tempted? And how will a shocked Joe deal with Celia wanting to switch sides? Fans can see how the story plays out when the episode airs at the earlier time of 7pm on ITV1 tonight, or it's streaming early now on ITVX and YouTube.
