Who Killed Emma Barton?

"Who Killed Emma Barton?" was a storyline in Emmerdale which started in December 2017.

Build-up
Since 2016, Emma began a downward spiral, having pushed husband James Barton off a bridge which resulted in his death.

The murder
Before her death, Emma found out via her car's radio that Finn Barton had died. Finn was accidentally shot by Emma the night before. After hearing this, Emma stood on top of the Viaduct, and it was presumed that she jumped off, resulting in her death.

Aftermath
Despite initial thoughts that Emma's death was a suicide, it was later revealed that Moira Dingle had pushed Emma off the cliff due to saying that Holly Barton would still be alive had Moira done more to stop her heroine addiction.

Adam Barton was blamed for Emma's death and had to go on the run. After Victoria (Adam's wife) found out that it was Moira that caused Emma's death, Victoria called her "the devil".
