OHMYGOSSIP — Natalie J. Robb would like to see more of Moira Dingle’s family arrive on ‘Emmerdale’.
The 45-year-old actress – who has played Moira on the ITV soap since 2009 – would love to see more of her family turn up on the programme but quipped as long as “they’re not all going to hate” her.
She said: “Yeah, why not? As long as they’re not all going to hate me! It’d just develop everything more and Moira can become a little bit more colourful, having her family and siblings around her, it’s quite a nice feeling.”
Moira’s estranged brother Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) is set to appear on the soap in upcoming scenes and she hopes his arrival will help “explain” who Moira is and why she’s “so protective” over her children.
Of exploring Moira’s family history, she shared: “It’s been talked about for quite a while really and it was just knowing when the right time was going to be. It’s always been John, my first husband’s, family and the family we’ve created – and Nana Barton – but never my father, my brother, or whatever. It’s good because it may explain a lot over why Moira is the way she is and perhaps why she’s so protective of her children. It’ll be interesting to see, it’s going to be exciting. It’s nice to have that link of the family.”
Meanwhile, Natalie previously admitted ‘Emmerdale’s cast and crew “don’t have as much of a laugh” with reduced numbers on set.
Speaking of the changes to filming owing to the coronavirus pandemic, she said: “It’s lovely to be going back to work, I’m very grateful for that and I’m sure we all are. It is very different, you have a two-metre pole, and they make sure everyone is at a safe distance all the time. There’s less of us now on set, so you don’t have as much of a laugh, but we’ll get there. We’re clawing it back slowly.”
