Rhona Goskirk makes harrowing confession to horrified Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale
As she continues to struggle with Gus and baby Ivy, could Rhona's marriage crumble?
FAN favourite Rhona Goskirk is developing an unexpected bond in the Dales and she decides to come clean.
The Emmerdale vet played by Zoë Henry makes a shocking confession to her husband Marlon Dingle. Is their union in danger?
Gus Malcolms (portrayed by Alan McKenna) overstepped earlier this year by using his ex-wife Rhona’s frozen embryos.
And while his attempt at having a baby was successful as he welcomed a baby named Ivy, it also led to the death of his wife Lucy in recent scenes aired on ITV.
Meanwhile, Rhona has struggled with her unexpected connection with Ivy, whom she considers her own child despite circumstances.
In another recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales, Rhona admitted that she was beginning to feel a pull towards the new-born and she was even thought to be trying to steal Ivy away from her father.
After spotting Gus finding it hard to cope with being a widower and single father, Rhona’s mother Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) decided to have him move in with Ivy into Smithy Cottage.
Unfortunately, Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) is unable to face Gus and Ivy without it causing trouble within his own marriage with Rhona.
Coming up, a picture perfect Christmas morning is spoiled when Marlon reaches breaking point with Gus and then storms off.
Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) reminds him that Gus is grieving and he’s convinced to try and save Christmas.
Later, Gus is taken aback by the incredible dinner Marlon has whipped up.
Raising an emotional toast to loved ones, Christmas is back on track.
But things come to a head once again when Gus is absent and Rhona and Marlon are looking after Ivy.
In later scenes, Rhona confirms Marlon’s fears, admitting that she has become attached to Ivy as her own baby.
However, she pleads with him to help make this work within their family.
Will Marlon be able to support his wife with what she so desperately needs?
Could this lead to another shocking separation in the village?
Fans have been fearing Marlon and Rhona may not be able to overcome their issues and speculation has led them to think the couple are on the verge of a devastating break-up.
Could they be on to something?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
