Rhona's damning statement left the villagers in shock and her marriage to Marlon on shaky ground. Before the court hearing, Rhona had agreed to read a victim impact statement which could have resulted in Gus receiving a lighter sentence.

He had already signed documents allowing them access to baby Ivy. Gus was charged after he used frozen embryos that belonged to him and Rhona from their previous marriage, without Rhona's consent. She believed they had been destroyed years ago.

When Gus revealed his plans to use the embryos with his new wife Lucy, she refused to give permission. However, Gus forged Rhona's signature, resulting in Lucy falling pregnant.

Tragically, Lucy died during Ivy's birth. Since then, Rhona has been eager to help raise her biological daughter. However, when Gus attempted to flee to France with Ivy without Rhona's knowledge, Rhona took Ivy.

Their custody battle led to Rhona facing kidnapping charges, but she was eventually cleared. Meanwhile, Gus received an eight-year prison sentence for fraud.

Marlon has found it difficult to deal with Rhona's court betrayal, and earlier this year, their marriage was on the verge of breaking down.
