Emmerdale viewers speculated a return could be on the way as others hoped it was on the cards, following a comment by a past cast member regarding the latest episode of the ITV soap.
Fans wanted the character in question to return to save Moira Dingle from her scheming brother-in-law Caleb Miligan, and village villain Kim Tate.
Moria was left with an impossible choice on Wednesday, when issues with her business led to her considering selling her farming land.
