Following Tuesday night’s episode of Emmerdale, Moira Barton was in shock after learning that Chloe Harris was expecting a second child and that she and her fiancé, Mackenzie Boyd, were engaged.
Tuesday night’s episode of Emmerdale was loaded with drama, but Moira Barton’s (Natalie J. Robb) dramatic transformation kept viewers’ attention.
The farmer, who typically wears long hair, made the decision to chop it short.
While some fans adored the change, others weren’t so sure, and they voiced their opinions on social media.
Moira looks so young with her new short hair; she’s setting the trend, said @meenastoyboy. People, I know you’re all calling the hair salon right now because of #Emmerdale.
@DionPetrie, in contrast, said: “I like her better with long hair #Emmerdale.”

“#emmerdale @JDavvyy added, “Moira’s Barnet Liken it #Emmerdale,” as @RoxyFoxy888 gushed, “I’m liking Moira’s new hair do.” (sic)
Further comments from @nedkelly56 read, “‘Moira’ looking very fetching in her new haircut.”
Tweeted @TwellyWatcher: “How have I only now noticed Moira’s hair? looks fantastic, but my god what a CHANGE.
In the episode, Matty Barton (Ash Palmiscian) also commented on his mother’s new hairstyle.
@TweetPeepGhost Oh no, Moira, your new haircut no longer qualifies you as MILF @RoxyFoxy888 #emmerdale @JDavvyy, I like Moira’s new hairstyle. Compared to #Emmerdale by Moira’s Barnet

Do you have Sparky Steve’s new phone number, sunshine? Moira enquired.
“Why are you going to ask him on a date, show him your new do?” Matty responded in jest.
As she retorted, Moira didn’t appear impressed. “No, the barn’s bulbs have blown again.”
Matt said, “Cain will have his number,” and Moira chimed in, “I am not texting him.”
In the meantime, Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) in the episode learned she wasn’t pregnant and struggled with the decision of whether or not to tell Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).
Chloe knew it would break Mack’s heart if she told him the truth, and so confided in her sister about trying to get pregnant.
However, Amy Wyatt (Natalie Jamieson) insisted Chloe spill the beans, but will Chloe listen to her sister’s advice?
