Emmerdale fans slam Belle and Moira for attacking cheater Chas Dingle
CHAS Dingle was shunned by her nearest and dearest after her affair with Al Chapman was exposed.
However, one Emmerdale fan has it in for Belle and Moira Dingle and called them out on a Digital Spy forum.
Times have been hard for the Woolpack manager portrayed by Lucy Pargeter.
As she continued to mourn for her illicit lover, Chas was hit with a massive blow when she learned Chloe Harris was trying to find out who the businessman’s mystery woman was.
But it wasn’t until Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) got wind of Chloe’s search that the truth came to light.
Belle immediately turned to Paddy Dingle to tell him the truth about Chas and the latter confronted his other half in a surprise revenge plot.
Since then, Chas has been kept at arm’s length from her close relatives, although she has been trying to keep her family together.
Belle was particularly hard on Chas in scenes aired on Christmas Day when the ostracised character showed up with a gift for her birthday.
Moira, on the other hand, had a very heated reaction when she learned about Chas’ affair.
The farmer played by Natalie J. Robb was so furious she elbowed Charity Dingle in the face during a brawl in the Woolpack.
She was fuming to know her husband Cain Dingle had been thrown in prison for Al’s murder as a result of Chas’ actions.
Moira blamed her sister-in-law for her family falling apart.
But while many may feel their hostility could be justified, some Emmerdale fans are unimpressed.
One of them complained online about Belle and Moira’s behaviours due to their own pasts with infidelity.
“Belle – what right has she got to banish Chas from celebrating Christmas with her family and why did the rest of them stand there sheepishly while Belle laid down the law?”, they penned.
“The sanctity of marriage didn’t exactly bother Belle when she made it her mission to break up Jermaine and his wife.”
They added: “As for Moira, the woman who cheats on husbands with their own brothers or sons and lets her own son take the fall for a murder she committed- how dare she judge anyone for having an affair?”
Paddy wasn’t exempt from any criticism as the soap fan also pointed out he’d had his own experience with cheating.
“And as for Paddy.. the man who has had affairs in both of his previous marriages, I get he is hurt, but still doesn’t give him the right to order Chas out of her child’s life.”
In 2019, before he became a part of the Dingle family, Nate Robinson had an affair with Moira, sparking shockwaves in the eponymous village.

Belle, on the other hand, was seventeen when she embarked on an affair with Dr Jermaine Bailey.
The romance cost the doctor his job as well as his marriage and he eventually left the Dales in 2016.
Chas recently discovered the truth about her long lost-brother Caleb Milligan, who made an appearance on Christmas Day.
ITV viewers have predicted another affair as Caleb could set his sights on Moira Dingle while Cain remains in prison.
Will Chas ever be forgiven?
