A huge never-before-done episode will see the end

of a favourite Emmerdale couple as they publicly

decide their marriage is done.

The couple in question is Rhona (Zoe Henry) and

Marlon (Mark Charnock), who are still surfing the shockwaves of Rhona going rogue on the stand in court when she threw her impact statement out of the window, and ultimately got Gus (Alan McKenna) sent down for a whopping eight years.

Marlon was distraught that she had made such a huge decision without consulting him, and after he branded her ‘not the woman he fell in love with’, things haven’t been the same for them since.

This special episode centres around Belle (Eden Taylor Draper) and Tom (James Chase), and Rhona and Marlon as both marriages come under the heaviest strain.

‘The day before they try to sort it out but it falls apart again and it gets much worse. But Rhona tells him she’s accepted this dinner invitation which, to him, is another little example of Rhona making decisions without him. Every little thing she does now is like he’s waiting for her to make a mistake. Everything she does now that doesn’t involve him feels like a decision made unilaterally. He starts to see a problem in everything.

‘So yes they shouldn’t be at the dinner party because it can only lead to disaster and it really does.’
