Could it be that Moira has some kind of SECRET confession to make? Or is there another reason she visits village vicar Charles on Emmerdale?

It looks like visiting vicar, Charles Anderson (played by Kevin Mathurin) could be permanently taking over the services at the village church now that Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow-Blyton) has announced she is QUITTING the church on Emmerdale (7:00pm on ITV, see our TV Guide for full listings)...

Unaware of all the murderous treachery that Harriet has been involved in, since the death of dodgy DI Mark Malone last year, Charles tries to talk Harriet out of resigning.

But it seems her mind is made-up and she is finished with the church for good!
