Emmerdale fans worried about 'poisoned' character as they predict love twist

Emmerdale fans have accused writers of turning one of the characters "mental" and have speculated about a new romance twist.

In the latest episode of the popular ITV soap, Rhona Goskirk seems to struggle to deal with her stepdaughter's latest antics. April Windsor not only got into a fight during which she punched a fellow classmate, but also pierced her bellybutton in secret which had caused an infection.

Rhona was keen to find a scapegoat for the teen's behaviour and tried to blame Naomi Walters for being a bad influence. During a heated argument, Rhona reaches out to lift Naomi's shirt to see if she had a bellybutton piercing, causing Naomi to push her away in selfdefence.

Rhona then falls to the floor just as her husband Marlon Dingle arrives to see the encounter. Marlon was having none of it and told Rhona she had gone to far.

Accusing him of siding with his kitchen assistant and not his wife, Rhona fumed: "I thought I meant more to you than that," before walking out. The end of the episode left viewers wondering what was in store for Rhona, with many angry that the character was undergoing a change.

Emmerdale fans feared Rhona was being "poisoned" by Nicola, while others thought this might be the end of Rhona and Marlon.

Paul wrote on Twitter: "Writers changing Rhona’s character now and making her mental with no limited of what is acceptable."

Chris P said: "I hope they've not gonna try push Paddy & Rhona back together with all this ridiculous crap."

David J Wright mused: "I wonder what’s next for Rhona she tried pulling a girls top so the push was self defence."

Shirley Anne Cook commented: "Rhona shouldn't have done that. I think everything is getting on top of her with looking after Marlon and working, she needs a holiday."

Paul Gibbons tweeted: "So they’ve decided it’s time to make Rhona a b**** too…. So tired of these producers and writers."

Kerry said: "Nicola has definitely poisoned Rhona's mind."

And Nwando agreed, writing: "I feel for Rhona. She's got bloody Nicola poisoning her mind! No right to go getting up in people's space and touching them though!"
