Emmerdale spoiler: Rhona faces MORE Pierce trauma as rape plot takes SURPRISING turn
The ITV soap forced Rhona (played by Zoe Henry) to endure a harrowing rape trial against her manipulative abuser Pierce (Jonathan Wrather), but just as viewers thought the mother-of-one’s suffering was over, the plot is set to take an interesting turn. In new pictures from next week’s episodes, Rhona can be seen visiting her evil ex Pierce in prison, following a deep struggle to try and move on. Before the jury eventually found Pierce guilty, the defence turned ugly and Rhona was slammed as being a lying drug addict desperate to get back together with her ex-husband Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt). The events took their toll on Rhona, who has subsequently been hiding away from public life and keeping her three-year-old son Leo closer than ever.

But as her friends have become increasingly worried, Rhona seems to have made a brave choice to face her demons and put the nail in the coffin of her relationship with her rapist once and for all. As Rhona sits facing her abuser with only a sheet of glass between them, rather than seeming upset she appears to feel pity for the man as she looks on sadly. Meanwhile, Rhona has been getting closer to her past love and husband of five years, Paddy, who is also the uncle to her child. The pair can be seen cosying up to each other on her sofa, and Rhona even appears to be leaning in for a tender kiss.
