In upcoming
Emmerdale
scenes, Moira Barton (played by Natalie J Robb) and
Cain Dingle
(Jeff Hordley) start to worry about how attached their son Isaac (Bobby Dunsmuir) has become to Minty the lamb on the
ITV
soap.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) and
Charity Dingle
(Emma Atkins) crave intimacy again, but they struggle to come clean to one another.
However, they eventually open up and start getting intimate in a barn, hoping they won't be interrupted by any unexpected guests.
Soon, the pair are left shocked to be disturbed by a newspaper photographer looking for Minty.
Later on, when Minty's missing, Isaac suspects Cain and Moira of foul play - but are they innocent in the situation?
Before long, the villagers and newspaper photographer start looking for little Minty.
Would farmers Cain and Moira have taken Minty to the slaughterhouse without making Isaac aware?
How will Isaac react if he finds out the pair were responsible for the innocent animal's death?
Perhaps he will understand it is part of business for Moira and Cain who make a living off their farm.
Viewers have also been growing attached to little Minty since the abandoned lamb was found by Isaac.

Will Minty appear in upcoming episodes, or will Isaac never see him again?
