Emmerdale spoiler video: Mary Goskirk issues dangerous threat to Gus Malcolms as he vows to destroy missing Rhona
Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) is getting desperate in upcoming Emmerdale episodes as she tries to stall Gus Malcolms (Alan McKenna) from calling the police about a missing Rhona (Zoe Henry).
Recently in the ITV soap, Gus broke the news to Rhona that he was planning on moving to France with baby Ivy. Due to the fact Rhona is only Ivy’s biological mother and not her legal one, she can’t really have much of a say in what Gus does with bringing up Ivy and whether it’ll involve her.
Faced with the prospect of losing her little girl, a broken Rhona packed a bag and left the village, leaving Marlon (Mark Charnock) to do his best with distracting Gus so he wouldn’t assume there was a problem.
In this new video, however, time is running out.
Mary and Marlon are grateful to Gus, who hasn’t called the police in the opening scenes.
Gus believes Rhona won’t return anytime soon and goes to make the call, but a smart Mary reminds Gus that if the police get involved, she can very easily tell them about his crime – stealing Rhona’s embryos.
While Mary is convinced Rhona will soon head back to the village, the same cannot be said for Marlon, who tells Gus that if his wife hasn’t returned in 24 hours, he’ll phone the police himself.
But will Rhona return?
‘She can probably see that he is quite capable of having her at home on his own, but she’s grown so attached to Ivy, understandably, and the thought of being without her, even for a night, is overwhelming,’ Zoe told us.
‘It’s not a planned kidnap, she would never do that,’ she insisted. ‘This has come from somewhere deeper inside her. She’s an intelligent woman, she knows the consequences of kidnap. So it comes from nowhere but it comes from the heart as well. it’s that primal instinct of “I can’t be separated from her.”’
When asked how Rhona would cope if she was to lose Ivy, Zoe said it would be ‘catastrophic’ for her character.
‘I think she’d have a nervous breakdown. It would be a grief, like a loss, like Ivy had died. They talk about how, when relationships break up and somebody leaves a partner, it’s almost worse than death because that person has gone, but they’re still here, they’re still alive. At least when somebody dies you know that’s the end.
‘I think that would be torture for Rhona, knowing that Ivy’s not with her and is never going to be with her but is alive and living a life somewhere else. It’s the impossible thought of that, really.’
