Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb has confirmed that Moira Barton's upcoming infidelity will be an ongoing storyline.

As reported at the weekend, Moira sleeps with Cain Dingle next week as an argument between the pair leads to a passionate encounter.

Moira's betrayal comes at a time when her marriage to John (James Thornton) is under strain due to the pressures of keeping the farm afloat.

Robb told Inside Soap that Moira feels "dirty and guilty" after allowing Cain (Jeff Hordley) to seduce her.

She explained: "This is the biggest betrayal ever - and it's Cain! It's going to be explosive.

"It's not a one-off. Moira doesn't want to go back to him and she fights it when she does. It's quite an abusive relationship, actually - but Cain brings out a different side to her."

Robb added that the storyline could ultimately make Moira appreciate her marriage more.

"She'll be battling her demons," the actress said. "Moira is quite weak right now, but the way that Cain treats her is going to make her realise what she has with John."

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.

Yet she still goes back for more with Cain

THE smouldering attraction between sensible Moira Barton and bad boy Cain Dingle is about to explode into Emmerdale’s steamiest ever fling.

Shocked viewers will see the farmer’s wife give in to her lust and rip off Cain’s clothes during passionate clinches.

Their sordid affair starts after Cain spills the beans to Moira’s husband John about secretly lending her money.

Furious Moira storms around to give Cain a tongue lashing on Thursday but they end up getting down to it on top of a fridge.

Racked with guilt, Moira tries to break off the relationship but gives in to temptation again and again, including in a barn and on a bed. The scenes are so hot that even the ITV soap’s experienced film crew were embarrassed during shooting.

Stunning Natalie Robb, who plays the mum of three, says: “Moira just can’t help herself. So she does it. The sex is amazing – the chemistry is so powerful it’s electric and she can’t control it.

“The director asked me to wear a crossover dress so my breasts look very voluptuous, perfect for a seduction scene.

“We ripped each other’s tops off, he cleared everything off his fridge, picked me up and my legs were wrapped around him. We looked at each other and then went into a clinch.”

Natalie laughs: “Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, told me they’re some of the raunchiest scenes he’s ever performed in and he’s had to do a lot.”

“When one was over the crew’s boom operator was crying with laughter. He said he’d overheard a conversation in the control room where somebody had said something about going for a cigarette afterwards.”

The romp on the bed between Natalie, 36, and Jeff, 41, during their torrid but ill-fated fling is to be shown on November 8.

Dirty secret: Cain and Moira poised for a passionate clinch

Natalie is no stranger to steamy love scenes. In 2006 she played Gemma Clewes, Max Branning’s mistress in EastEnders and had to “kiss a lot”. The following year she went much further, seducing and bedding a young jailbird in Kitchen, a Channel 5 drama starring Eddie Izzard. She says: “It was my first topless scene and it wasn’t easy. It was supposed to be a full frontal but I said no to that.

“They said they needed to see some flesh as I was trying to lure a 20-year-old into bed with me to persuade him to kill my husband.

“I was lying back in bed, completely topless, smoking a fag and I remember the boom operator was inches from me.”

And filming sex scenes does not get easier. “It’s always a bit odd at first,” she says.

“I prefer to kiss during rehearsal, it’s better to get a feel for it. The crew get to see it and they don’t feel weird about it. You can just let go when you actually do it.

“Generally most actors don’t mind. If they do, that’s fine but I expect them to be good if they’re only doing it once,” she laughs.

“Jeff was particularly easy to work with, but I suppose he should be considering he’s had so many women on Emmerdale, he can do it with his eyes closed now. But the fridge scene did seem to last forever which was a bit embarrassing.”

“Some viewers will say: ‘Oh no, Moira is so good and so pure – she’s Mother Earth – and afterwards there was huge guilt and she thought, ‘what have I done’.

“But actually that’s more of a reason for it to work, as she and Cain are so different.”

Single Natalie, who lives in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and joined the soap in July 2009, is adamant she would not be tempted like Moira to bed a bad boy.

Sexy

“I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve had chemistry with someone and I’ve been in a relationship and maybe fancied other people – that’s human nature – but I’ve never two-timed someone and I’ve never got close to doing it,” she says firmly.


Drama: Natalie dying in the Bill and in Waterloo Road

“There have been men, similar to Cain, who I’ve been attracted to, who I’ve had banter with, who’ve got under my skin and teased me. But luckily I’m not attracted to bad boys.

“When you get older you realise they’re too much trouble and you just get a broken heart. Now I’m drawn to somebody sexy and intelligent who has something about them. Having been through different relationships I know what I want and I don’t want to waste time with someone I don’t really care for.”

She hopes one day she will find Mr Right, settle down and start a family.

“I would love to meet somebody that I loved enough to either marry or have a child with,” she explains.

“I would love children in my life, partly because I think that’s why we are here but also it would be nice to experience that side of life with somebody you are in love with.”

Born and raised in Glasgow, Natalie made her screen debut at nine in a docu-drama with veteran Scottish actor Tom Conti.

She won the BBC Young Entertainer of the Year at 13 by doing impressions on kids TV show Going Live! Then at 15 she landed a role in the Scottish soap Take The High Road.

She moved to London at 20 and worked as a session singer, even briefly singing in a band called Kinky People alongside Vic Reeves’ wife Nancy Sorrell.

Her big break came in 1999 in the drama Sunburn with Michelle Collins followed by spells in London’s Burning, three years in the daytime soap Doctors and two years in The Bill. She played PC Andrea Dunbar, an *undercover journalist left to die in a blaze by crazed bent cop PC Gabriel Kent.

She has also appeared in the BBC’s Waterloo Road and as a kidnapped patrol leader in Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 2008 film The Shepherd: Border Control.

Away from the screen Natalie keeps fit by running every other day. She lost a stone last year for the storyline about her screen daughter’s heroin addiction but regained some of the weight after giving up smoking nine months ago.

“Not because I ate more, just because your metabolism slows down,” she explains. “I was training a lot and still put on weight and got really upset with myself, but my skin is better, my eyes are whiter, I don’t smell of smoke and I can run much further.

“It’s important to be fit but I love food and I’m not built to be a size 6. I’ll always be athletic and have a womanly figure.

“I’d like to lose the cigarette weight I put on but that’s it. I don’t really worry too much otherwise.”

Instead Natalie’s main concern is *getting her dramatic storyline right. “I keep saying to Jeff – the housewives are going to love this, they are going to go weak at the knees over it,” she laughs.

“Jeff has got quite a big following and there are a lot of women out there who fancy him. Luckily in real life he’s so different to his character. He’s actually such a gentle soul and after he’s *finished filming he groans and says, ‘Oh, he’s awful, he’s awful’. And I say, ‘Yes Jeff, but you do it so well!’”

Must be me but I see no chemistry between them (not like the chemistry with Charity and Cain anyways)

Moria getting with Declan would have been a better option imo

Again this affair ruins the character Moira must like Laurel's affair with Marlon

[Glen1]

I agree can't see this one , Declan yes . Perhaps she's after free servicing on the Land Rover. I don't think John's leaving is he?

Its more than the land-rover which will be getting a free service.

I have heard a rumour that Moira is going to get pregnant in the near future. If this is true then I wonder what Cain will say.
