ITV Emmerdale fans have 'deja vu' as Faith begs for help from Moira

Emotional scenes played out on Emmerdale tonight as Faith asked Moira for help.

The Dingle has been suffering from stage four breast cancer - and recently found out she was terminal with only a matter of weeks left to live. She has been having outbursts of anger and forgetfulness as the cancer takes over her body and has been finding it hard to cope.

Despite her grown-up kids, Chas and Cain, being helpful and staying by her side, she feels guilty about them watching her struggle. In a desperate attempt to be out of pain and end things as peacefully as possible, Faith asked Moira to help her end her life.

Faith had mentioned putting her life in her own hands as she thought about ending things. While on a walk, Moira brought it up again, wanting to address it.

The terminal character explained that her palliative nurse thought her health would decline sooner rather than later. She said: "We're talking weeks here. Maybe not even that, who knows."

She added: "Dying is one thing but it's another losing your mind and then still dying. I just don't want to be lost in here." She pointed to her head as she said: "I don't want to be trapped in a prison of my own memories."

Moira tearfully told her that there were other options but it fell on deaf ears. Faith said: "It's less a question of how I do it and more a question of when."

While the scenes were heartachingly emotional, fans couldn't help but feel like they had a bit of 'deja-vu'. Chris said: "#Emmerdale great acting from both Sally & Natalie but haven't they go e down the assisted suicide twice before?"

Lynne said: "Another euthanasia story being set up by the unimaginative screenwriters on #emmerdale. They've done it twice already with Alice & Sam in 2006 & Aaron & Jackson in 2011. Third time around-this time with Moira helping Faith to end her days. Door predictable. Tell me I'm wrong."

Meanwhile, a third user said: "We've already seen this assisted suicide storyline before. Deja vu? #Emmerdale."
