Emmerdale star reveals last words to murder victim shortly before death

Emmerdale actress Natalie J Robb has revealed the final words her character whispered to Emma Barton before pushing her off a bridge.

Natalie, who joined Emmerdale in 2009, has revisited Moira Dingle's murderous past after she killed Emma back in 2017. Emma had been close to ending her life at Hotten Viaduct before Moira found her.

She urged her to come back but their conversation soon turned sour when Emma started lashing out and taunting Moira about Holly's death. In flashback scenes it was later revealed that Moira had slapped Emma and pushed her to her death, the Daily Star reports.

At the time, Emma blamed Moira for her daughter Holly's accidental overdose, telling her: "The druggie? Someone else you ignored. Cain tells you that she won't stop using but you don't listen!

"You knew that he was right, deep down. But it was just easier to pretend that it wasn't happening, wasn't it? Imagine if you'd paid attention and actually noticed that there was something wrong with Holly the day that she died."

Emma added: "If you'd just put that cup of tea down and cared enough to pull back the covers, she'd still be alive now. You could have saved her, Moira, but you walked out and left her to die all on her own with nobody there!"

Speaking to the Star and other press, Natalie has confirmed the two words she whispered to Emma before she died. Asked whether Moira could kill to protect Kyle, she said: "Well I’ve already killed. I killed… at that time, it was a long time ago now.

"But the reason I pushed her off that viaduct was because she’d slated every one of my children one after the other. At the end, I was still holding my wound together and I just went, 'Oh f*** off!' I whispered that."

It seems the only circumstances in which Moira would kill previously is for her children, but the actress is now not so sure. Natalie said: "I don’t know.

"Moira went through a lot of guilt after that. I didn’t want to have to kill someone but she deserved it. That’s what everybody tells her."
