==Biography==
Moira Barton came to the village in July 2009 with her husband John and their children - son Adam, his older sister Holly, and their younger sibling Hannah altogether.
Upon arrival, Moira and her family became new owners at Butler's Farm and the family began settling themselves in the village. They found themselves caught up on various matters that saw family relationships tested. Each time they survived, but then Moira was seduced by John's love rival Cain Dingle and they had a dalliance that threatened Moira's marriage with John in the process. John later forgave Moira and the pair decided to go on holiday, but tragically they were involved in a car accident; Moira survived but John died of his injuries, leaving her and their children devastated by the death of their patriarch.
Soon afterwards, Moira was comforted by Cain and the two embarked on a relationship after he made amends for his grievances towards the family. They eventually got married in 2014 and became one of the show's most beloved couples to date, especially when they faced problems that often tested their marriage and personal relationships. At one point, Moira was conflicted over Cain and Holly when her drug addiction resurfaced. But then tragically struck again when Moira found Holly dead in her bedroom and mourned for her death. 
By then, she had feuded with her sworn archenemy Emma Barton and it ultimately led to Moira killing Emma by shoving her off a bridge to her death. Moira was guilt-ridden and wanted to confess to the police, but Adam decided to take the blame for the crime rather than let his mother go to prison. It was then Moira's marriage with Cain began to crumble over recent setbacks, and it ultimately led to an affair with farmhand Nate Robinson. This lasted for months until Cain eventually learned the truth and confronted the pair in a confrontation that ended with a shocking revelation - Nate was in fact Cain's long-lost son whose affair with Moira was merely part of his plan to get revenge on Cain over their turbulent childhood.
Afterwards, Cain threatened to divorce Moira and take custody of their son Issacs along with his other son Kyle. But a year later the couple reunited and they forgave Nate for his actions. Moira was later joined by her half-brother Mackenzie Boyd and supported his relationship with Cain's cousin Charity Dingle, despite their previous feud over Cain's affections in the past.
