It was a momentous scene for Natalie J Robb, who has been playing the feisty farmer for 15 years and says the storyline has made her feel "lucky to be alive".
In the coming weeks, Moira will be dealt devastating health news, as the seizures continue and get worse and worse.
And in a gripping twist, they set off a whole series of events that threaten her own life and that of another village favourite.
What is causing the terrifying seizures is, for now, being kept a closely guarded secret.
But as viewers go on the tumultuous journey with Moira, Bellshill-born Natalie, 49, lets slip that what happens to her "will be life-changing".
She said: "When I was told Moira would be suffering from a serious health condition, I knew I wanted to play my part in helping to raise awareness.
"I think it is important we do cover serious illnesses that hopefully will help people know they aren't alone.
"I would be petrified if I started to have seizures and had no idea why.
"It's a challenging role and a big responsibility.
"I have learnt a lot about different seizures you can have and I have been working closely with an expert. He has been giving me lots of advice on how to show little visual signs, even subtle things when you do have a seizure.
