I know the character is at the mercy of scriptwriters but what a self serving, self important delusional nagging old boot.

She's gone from being Mrs Perfect to Mrs Trash... proven herself to be a liar and cheat..and then blames everyone else and still has the ego the size of a planet.

I hope the writers tone her down.

I have no idea why the writers did this to her character. There was no need. And it's been such a huge rewrite, her backstory has been completely changed.

Before the stupid back story, there was some enigmatic and intriguing about her character in the sense that her and John seemed to be so rock solid and in love and totally together and yet she slept with Cain. Her and John got back together and he dies. But why bring this stupid storyline where her and James have history. IMO opinion the writers have destroyed her character.

I think she's fantastic and I'm glad she finally stood up for herself. I've been sick of seeing her allowing everyone to walk all over her these past weeks.

It was like watching the real thing. When did Moira become a rastamouse?

This 80s

I hate to be the cat amongst the pigeons but she hasn't spend her time blaming anyone, she knows what she did was wrong. She's tried to say sorry to Cain, tired to make amends and put up with their behaviour towards her and nothing was working. At the end of the day (it's evening) what she did was years ago and although it was a mistake she loves Adam, someone has too, so I don't think she regrets it completely. She done the softly, softly stuff and that didn't work so sometimes you need to go full throttle.

and Uncle Q, I didn't understand some of that. Subtitles.

Yes I agree not liking her recently, and they were such a good couple.

As I put on another thread about this - exactly how many times can this pair break up and make up? Its already been about 1,000 times and it will be about two weeks before Cain is told to 'pack his bags' again. Hello writers - ITS BORING AND REPETITIVE!

Moira has always been a strong, fiesty character with a touch of the sexy farmer girl about her but lately her scenes are just a cringe fest watching her trying to seduce Cain was just for some reason the change in character seemed Imo to coincide with her frumpy granny haircut

I like the chemistry between Coira but it needs an edge. I would like to see the both of them more like Bonnie and Clyde, dangerous ,elusive, bad ass....Cain is no angel and personally he has done worse than Moira ever did in her lifetime...When these two characters split (they will) Moira would be the adulterer...Coira could last for years with their ups and downs. Cain wouldn't cheat on Moira I don't think? I think they should have a baby together.....

This!

Its about time she stood up for herself with Cain and anyone that gives the teflon bike a slap can do no wrong in my view.

Uhm the haircut is just dreadful, which as you say goes together with her personality transplant.

She's standing up for herself? Doesn't come across like that to me. She comes across more self serving and deluded than Cain and Charity ever were in their time of nastiness and self assertion (difference in deeds aside)

She should be more concerned about the damage her lies have caused and not shouting the odds and acting like she's in control. When your hubby and son find out that they've been lied to, you need to be very apologetic in a meaningful way and less arrogant.

Amazing when she gave skanky Charity a right hander. Shame about her hair though, Did she DIY it with the sheep shearing scissors?

Poor Moira, so she’s made the odd error of judgement of late.
Hey none of us are perfect.

Le's be honest it’s easily done - how many of us here would also have chosen option (a) when presented with the following difficult conundrum …


* You find your child collapsed on the floor from an unexpected drug overdose, do you …

(a) Give them Ł300 and drive them round to a drug dealer’s house and show them exactly where to score.

(b) Box their ruddy ears and knock some sense into them.
