ITV Emmerdale’s Rhona makes big reveal to the village as one friendship at risk

Emmerdale is set for dramatic scenes next week involving Rhona Goskirk.

Viewers will recall that it’s been a tough few months for Rhona and her husband Marlon Dingle. And in upcoming scenes, it appears Rhona tries to move on from the drama as she gets a tattoo. In spoilers for next week, Rhona reveals her new inking but instead of just showing it to husband Marlon, she unveils it to the whole of The Woolpack. What will he think and what is the tattoo?

Meanwhile, Rhona finds herself getting closer to Mandy Dingle, who is in a relationship with her co-worker Paddy Kirk, but their blossoming friendship leaves one resident feeling threatened. Spoilers reveal that Vanessa Woodfield, who also works with Rhona with the two being best friends for years, becomes increasingly jealous of Rhona and Mandy.

It comes as earlier this year, Marlon was left utterly betrayed and devastated when wife Rhona threw a curve ball during her court proceedings with ex-husband Gus Malcolms. Both Gus and Marlon were blindsided when Rhona turned on her ex-husband in court, with her “unable to lie for him” after months of torment. Her statement no doubt encouraged his disastrous sentencing in court, with him sentenced to eight years in prison, before being led away by officers.

Rhona’s damning statement left the villagers reeling and her marriage with Marlon very unstable as prior to court, Rhona had agreed to read out a victim impact statement, which could have led to Gus getting a lighter sentence and he had already signed documents so they could see baby Ivy.

Gus had been charged after using frozen embryos that belonged to him and Rhona when they were married years earlier, without Rhona’s permission to use them. She thought they had been destroyed decades ago, and when Gus shared his plans to use them with new wife Lucy she refused to give permission. He forged Rhona’s signature though and Lucy fell pregnant, but sadly she died during Ivy’s birth.

Since then Rhona has been keen to help raise her biological daughter, but Gus tried to flee to France with Ivy behind Rhona’s back resulting in Rhona taking her. Their battle for Ivy resulted in Rhona facing charges of kidnapping, before eventually being cleared while Gus has been sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud. Marlon has struggled with Rhona’s betrayal in court and earlier this year, their marriage was on the brink of collapse.
