It's no secret that Rhona Goskirk and Marlon Dingle's relationship has hit a rough patch. In fact, things have gone from bad to worse for the once inseparable couple on Emmerdale. What started as a solid foundation has now crumbled, and they are teetering on the edge of permanent separation.
The root of their problems can be traced back to the arrival of Gus Malcolms. Rhona's ex-husband had a plan to use the embryos that he and Rhona had frozen during their marriage. But Rhona refused, causing a strain on their relationship. Despite her objections, Gus went ahead and used the embryos, resulting in the birth of baby Ivy.
When Ivy's birth mother tragically passed away, Rhona stepped in to care for the baby when Gus couldn't handle the responsibility. As she bonded with Ivy, she made the bold decision to "kidnap" the baby in an attempt to prevent Gus from taking her to France. This led to a trial where Rhona was found not guilty, but Gus was ultimately sent to prison for fraud.
During the trial, Rhona changed her victim impact statement at the last minute without Marlon's knowledge, resulting in a longer sentence for Gus. While Marlon stood by Rhona through most of this ordeal and even formed a strong bond with baby Ivy, there were aspects of Rhona's actions that didn't sit well with him. He felt she made significant decisions without consulting him and didn't consider the impact on their children, April and Leo.
The final straw for Marlon was when Rhona changed her impact statement in court. Despite their agreement to care for Ivy while Gus was in prison, Marlon felt it was a cruel move on Rhona's part. Since then, their relationship has been strained, and they have even been sleeping in separate beds. The tension came to a boiling point during a dinner party at Tom and Belle's, where they constantly bickered and eventually exploded into a heated argument.
The struggle seems never-ending for Marlon and Rhona, and he decides to take some time away to clear his head. He goes camping with his friend Paddy, still fuming about Rhona's past actions. When he returns home to find her discussing Ivy's christening with Charles, he can't contain his anger. He accuses Rhona of once again making major decisions without him, despite her explanation that Charles brought up the topic first. In a fit of rage, Marlon throws a pan of food on the floor.
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure if he even wants to continue their marriage, Marlon confides in Paddy that he's considering a divorce. But Paddy reminds him of the determination it took to overcome his stroke and urges him to put that same effort into fixing his marriage. Meanwhile, Rhona's mother Mary also encourages her to do whatever it takes to save her relationship with Marlon.
As Marlon and Rhona contemplate their next move, the question remains: will they fight for their marriage, or is the damage between them too deep to repair? Only time will tell as they navigate this challenging chapter in their relationship.
