ITV Emmerdale fans say 'change the record' after Rhona’s shock betrayal

ITV Emmerdale viewers are convinced that Rhona’s last minute decision in court may cause trouble in her marriage with Marlon Dingle. As viewers know Rhona previously agreed to read out a statement in court for ex-husband Gus - which would help him as he may face prison time for fraud.

In exchange, Gus gave Rhona and Marlon access to baby Ivy and signed some documents to ensure he wasn’t lying. During tonight’s episode of the ITV hit soap, tensions were high as Gus was feeling anxious about his court case. As expected Rhona was also feeling uneasy but she agreed to stick to her work and support him.

Ahead of the court hearing, Rhona and Marlon spoke about what their new life would look like after Gus was released from prison - if he does get put behind bars. Once in court, it was time for Rhona to take the stand and at first things seemed to be going to plan as she began her speech.

Things took a dramatic turn as Rhona made a dramatic U-turn and decided that she couldn't bring herself to speak highly of Gus after he went against her wishes and stole from her. The judge asked Rhona if she could provide a new statement and she wasted no time in giving details on how Gus's decision to use the embryo had affected her life and marriage.

Things got heated and the judge was forced to remind Rhona to keep calm. It wasn’t looking good for Gus as the judge then revealed that after Rhona's emotional statement Gus received an 8 year prison sentence. Gus was fuming with Rhona as he turned towards her and said: "How could you?" Marlon was also taken back by Rhona's change of mind.

Marlon questioned why Rhona left him out of her decision-making and how her plan means Gus has been taken away from his daughter for years.

Viewers watching at home are convinced that Rhona’s betrayal may start to cause trouble in her marriage. @craggsy82 Tweeted: “Exactly, that's the real issue in case anyone missed it. It's all about Rhona Screw everyone else.” @penniless_poet wrote: “Divorce incoming - Marlon and Rhona.”

While @Chris1968E added: “#Emmerdale it was so obvious Rhona was aiming for this the whole time but told poor Marlon piss all as always but of course she loves him.”
