"Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy has revealed that there is a big new storyline on the way for her character Laurel Thomas. Life has been quieter for Laurel in recent months after an eventful 2012 saw her break up with husband Ashley (John Middleton) and settle down with Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock).  However, speaking to Inside Soap, Bellamy explained that Rhona Goskirk&amp;#039;s ongoing painkiller addiction will have significant consequences for Laurel. The actress teased: &amp;quot;Laurel&amp;#039;s involved in Rhona&amp;#039;s painkiller addiction because of Marlon and baby Leo. That bleeds into a big storyline for Laurel. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t reveal too much, but there are consequences from Rhona&amp;#039;s drug taking that will cause something to happen to Laurel. It&amp;#039;ll be exciting, and I&amp;#039;m looking forward to it!&amp;quot;  Rhona&amp;#039;s problem looks likely to get worse over the next few weeks as she remains in denial about the extent of her addiction, despite protests from her best friend Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick). Emmerdale continues tonight (May 28) at 7pm on ITV.
