OVERSIGHT ‘Huge mistake’ rage Emmerdale fans as Moira Dingle slips up in tense ITV scenes

The scenes saw a desperate Moira wanting Samson to tell the police the truth – after Samson framed her son Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) for stabbing him.

This week, Matty’s stint in prison has gone from bad to worse, as the show regular ended up in hospital.

Having sat Samson down, Moira told him: “Do you have any idea how tough this is for Matty. How dangerous it is?

“They fractured his eye socket. It doesn’t bother you? Even though it was all down to your lies.”

After Samson said that he hadn’t hit Matty, Moira said it “might as well have been.”

The two put pressure on Samson by telling him the hell Matty has been through, trying to get him to help.

Ultimately, Samson confessed as to what really happened – his friend Josh (Osian Morgan) was really the one to blame.

Although fans were delighted that Samson finally came clean, others pointed out that Moira had missed an opportunity.

Taking to X, one viewer said: “Huge mistake Moira not recording Samson then”.

Another echoed: “Moira had every opportunity to record Samson’s confession and didn’t do it. UGHHHH.”

Meanwhile, a third remarked: “Mack and Moira should record what Samson says to prove he’s a liar.”

Another added: “You’re wasting your breath on Samson, Moira.”

While in prison, Matty has been trying to hide that he is transgender.

However, the character found himself in a trapped in a cell with vicious thug Robbo, after his trans identity was outed.

However, cellmate Les came to Matty’s aid when menacing Robbo was bothering him.

This led to Matty opening up to Les about his secret, although the older inmate warned that others may not be so kind.
