Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ tragic barn fire death that will leave one family devastated

In forthcoming episodes, Moira and Ruby will be trapped in a burning barn but viewers are predicting another villager will perish in the disaster

New Emmerdale promo teases upcoming 'explosive' events

Emmerdale viewers have been left fearing Nate Robinson dies in the deadly barn blaze. In forthcoming scenes of the ITV soap, tragedy may strike when Moira Dingle's spiraling behaviours sees her cause a fire on her farm.

The incident starts to unfold when the farmer tries to kiss Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), and the situation is soon blown out of proportion - to the joy of Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly).

Following their affair history, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) is convinced his wife Moira (Natalie J Robb) and son Nate have kissed again and wastes no time in looking for an explanation.

But he soon turns to his fists and beats up his son. All of the drama triggers flickers of de ja vu in Moira's head.

Shocked and stressed by the events, she slaps Cain to which he leaves. It's not long until Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) arrives at the barn to gloat but soon feels sorry for Moira when she's unresponsive to her jibes.

Moira starts to spill tractor fuel in the barn when Ruby's voice begins to blur with her old nemesis Emma Barton's, who Moira killed back in 2017.

Stressed out, Moira padlocks the barn, seeing Emma instead of Ruby. But the situation takes a worrying turn when Moira fires a warning shot from her gun into the air, frightening Ruby, as the shot hits a light bulb, causing a spark to take hold.

A tussle for the shotgun ends with Moira dazing Ruby with a blow to the head. It's not long until a hazy and shaken Moira comes out of her daze, leaving her confused.

The barn quickly catches fire as Moira freezes next to Ruby’s body. Seeing the smoke coming from the barn at a distance, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) tries to get in touch with Moira.

A call from Mack informs Cain, Caleb Milligan (William Ash) and Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) of the fire and they speed off toward the barn. Exchanging a worried look when they meet at the barn, Mack and John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) both go inside.

Cain, despite his current anger with his wife, races to the burning barn and panicking Chas tries to hold him back from dashing inside to save Moira.

With them trapped in the burning barn, before long a huge explosion throws them all to the ground. Will they all survive the terrifying ordeal?

Emmerdale fans are been flooding social media with predictions on who they think will die in the fire, and Nate Robinson appears to be a favourite.

"Tracy and Nate back together, planning a new life in Shetland Islands..... oh he's definitely dying in next week's barn fire #Emmerdale", added another.
