A real-life couple shared a scene in Emmerdale tonight

From Digital Spy

Tonight's Emmerdale saw Rhona Goskirk and Cain Dingle share a scene for the first time.

That might not sound significant to some, but plenty of people were very excited to see the scene, because actors Zoe Henry and Jeff Hordley are actually married in real life.

Sadly, it wasn't a particularly romantic scene, as it saw a drunken Rhona telling Cain how disgusted she was by him.

Having revealed in a drinking game a few months ago that she fancied Cain, Rhona went right back on her previous words.

In fact, tonight she told Cain: "I couldn't drink enough in the whole world to want you." Ouch.

Emmerdale fans were really appreciating the situation:

The scene soon then took a sadder turn, as Rhona tried to follow Cain out of the pub and fell on some broken glass.

Cain's girlfriend, vicar Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton), stopped to take care of Rhona and escorted the distressed woman home.

Back at Smithy Cottage, Rhona opened up to Harriet about her rape by husband Pierce Harris, and heartbreakingly told her: "I hate being in this body because I can't escape it."

Admitting that she wasn't okay, she then broke down in Harriet's arms.

Emmerdale next airs on Monday (21 August) at 7pm on ITV.
