Rhona Sends Gus To Prison | Emmerdale

[@benbusfield6498]

Marlon standing up to Rhona and telling her how he feels. Thats wonderful it looks like she might have finally listened to him and heard him from the first time in a long time.

[@lauragavin9923]

Marlon isn’t listening to Rhona, she just couldn’t tell lies. It was a traumatic time for Rhona and when it came to the court she couldn’t lie .. it didn’t happen to Marlon .. it happened to Rhona.

[@joshuaw9675]

@@lauragavin9923So it doesn’t affect him then? Having a child sprung onto him and he has no say because Rhona is Ivy’s mum. Stop talking nonsense

[@BlueAndWhiteAreRight]

Marlon is absolutely right in what he said I know rhona was going to do something like this

[@kaykay3772]

Marlon can be selfish at times. He didn't want anything to do with Leo even before he found out he had Downs, and he didn't want anything to do with April when he found out about her existence. I know the special episode that ED is airing soon will revolve around Rhona; Marlon; Belle; and Tom. Maybe it will show how a normal couple like Rhona and Marlon who's marriage is on rocky grounds talk through their feelings and then patch things up, whereas they will show how Belle and Tom's marriage isn't at all normal due to his abusive nature. If that is how they are going to play it out, I would say that would be groundbreaking.

[@pistachioonut6683]

​@@joshuaw9675 the child was also sprung on Rhona, she said no to her eggs being used and Gus did it anyway. This situation effects her more than anyone. Why is everyone acting as if Marlon's feelings are more important. He doesn't have to stay with her. But he doesn't get to demand she not be honest in court and not raise her daughter to make his life easier. Gus deserves prison time what he did, and Rhona deserves to give an honest victim statement in court, because she is the victim her.

[@sarahstewart7923]

This is how you break up a couple - show how life has separated them and how their actions have affected the relationship. Rhonda made all sort of decisions without even talking to Marlon, that their relationship is on the rocks after all this shouldn't be a surprise. I'm interested in where it goes, I don't know if they can fix it. This is way more interesting than a cheating storyline.

[@brianmoore6306]

I don't agree 100% with what Rhona did here. Have to agree with Marlon here.

[@pistachioonut6683]

You don't believe with her telling the truth in court? She should lie to protect a man that stole her eggs?

[@rducky136]

I agree with marlon. Never tells him anything

[@ami5183]

Marlon is tired of her always making decisions getting him to agree then going back doing things her way. She's too controlling!!

[@pistachioonut6683]

She's controlling because she told the truth? Gus stole her eggs, not Marlons nor Mary's, but everyone wants to tell her how to feel about it. If they were trying to control her. Rhona was given an opportunity to finally stand up for herself and speak out against years of lies, and everyone just expected her to prioritise the man who caused the whole problem. Gus deserves to be in prison for what he did

[@francescaford1304]

What Rhona did was wrong she just sent Gus to prison for her own selfish reasons and Marlon is right what she did was vindictive she only cares about herself yeah Gus stole her eggs that was wrong but what she did was wrong as well she kidnapped Ivy but as always Rhona is playing the victim if she never took Ivy it wouldn't have had to come to this.

[@ltee2261]

He would have maybe cut her out ivy's life and went abroad anyway he lied before

[@pistachioonut6683]

Gus was sent to prison because he committed a crime. Rhona was the victim of that crime. She is under no obligation to protect him. If Gus wasn't so selfish he wouldn't be in this situation and his wife would still be alive. Gus already try to take Ivy abroad, what's the guarantee he won't do it again? The man is in no way trustworthy. Rhona prioritised her relationship with Ivy over Gus' relationship with Ivy, it's sad and unfortunate but Gus created this situation.

[@Ray03595]

@@pistachioonut6683 She still has no legal rights to Ivy. Idk how soap logic will work, but if Gus cannot parent her and she has no other legal guardian then she’s going to be going into foster care. Not really putting Ivy first.

[@matildauebel7599]

Why on earth is it important what her last name is?

[@ThomasKilburmn]

I agree with marlon. Rhona definitely did the wrong thing here. She sent gus to prison for no reason.

[@OneGaurdian]

He stole her eggs to have a child that he was never going to tell her about. Then he left Ivy with her when single-fatherhood got too tough.

[@baked_alaska]

She sent Gus to prison because he stole her identity and violated her right to autonomy over her own genetic material. He kept her embryos frozen for years without her knowledge and chose to create a baby using said embryos when he saw fit to, never intending to tell her about it. What he did was practically rape by proxy. She had every reason to send him to prison, regardless of anyone else's opinion.

[@aliyahhussain4553]

Rhona is no victim but of course she faces no consequences for her kidnapping. Gus was in the wrong but Rhona was no better and now she has taken ivy father away whilst she gets what she wants.

[@JelaGrigsby]

I understand what Marlon is saying because ; even thought what Rhona did was right for telling the truth, she also not telling her family anything and that’s the reason the family are upset with her because she doing what’s best for her at the moment

[@lauragavin9923]

Rhona tried .. she suppressed the hurt and trauma .. she has the right to change her mind .. on the stand .. court is serious business 🧐 Hard to trust Gus. Marlon was not the one traumatised and violated, and it’s not his court case.

[@JelaGrigsby]

@@lauragavin9923 and that what I’m saying is she has the right what she did but at the same time I also understand what Marlon is saying like when she mention Gus hurting her family Marlon wasn’t hurt at all in the situation only she was so Marlon in his mind thinks she doing all this for herself because she is not talking to him or letting him know the deal because bringing her child in the family without talking to Marlon is making him feel she not letting him have a chance what he thinks of all this

[@BlueAndWhiteAreRight]

Marlon is right in what he said rhona dingle is all about herself and she doesn't care about her disabled son her stroke survivor husband her step daughter and her mom I know rhona was going to do something like this

[@hivemistressherguineapigfa8563]

I don't like what Rhona did here, but after Gus's repeated betrayals, I can understand it.

Ivy should be put into care and Gus Lucy should have been ashamed of themselves and Gus got what he deserved and hope he never get seen or heard from again and Rhona should have thought of her own family first but no she only cared about Ivy and Ivy alone and i feel so sorry for Marlon April and Leo who have been left out and neglected

[@nixfarrik6214]

I don’t think Rhona faked it. Sure their deal was putting Ivy first but…no one would be here if Gus hadn’t done what he did. He has put them through a lot. Rhona absolutely should have spoken to her husband about doubting the statement but I can’t see how anyone is in the right here.

[@taylorallen8262]

Rhonda getting blamed for everything when she’s had to deal with Marlon’s stroke, her eggs being stolen like of course she’s bound to be emotional she did the right thing

[@makenziexd986]

I cant tell if this is good or not. I mean im glad hes in prison, I just dont know if its the best thing Rhona could of done. Also if someone wants go comment disagreeing with me, please dont tell me the full story of how it all started i know everything that happened.

[@alisonharper6250]

He will come for Rhonda when he’s out

[@KW-ro5ow]

You're right, he'll serve half his sentence and come back for Ivy too. Rhona has no legal right to keep her. Probably partly why Marlon is annoyed with her.

[@jasonbrosnan8770]

They might have been rhonas eggs, but she wasn't the one who gave birth to ivy, so in my eyes, she's not ivy's mother, her mother died giving birth because rhona dicided to turn up at gus's house screaming the odds, gus's wife was under stress as it is with everything going on and rhona's ranting didn't help and now she gets gus sent to prison for 8yrs and she has the baby, it's true what marlon said, she did all this for herself and not the family which is 💯 true

[@MuddyPigg]

So would that mean that to you every child born to a surrogate would be theirs and not the biological parents?

[@rstein926]

Ivy is technically Rhona's by DNA. Rhona had every right to be upset as her eggs were taken without her permission. Marlon should come to his senses and think what would he do? No taking it lying down?

[@MuddyPigg]

@@rstein926 It probably makes more sense to pretend that the woman who delivered Ivy isn't part of the equation. Ivy should be treated as their joint child and custody should reflect that. Rhona has custody while he's inside and he gets supervised visitation leading upto joint custody when he gets out. That would be fairest for the kid.

[@pistachioonut6683]

No, the woman involved in stealing someone else embro died giving birth. Ivy will never know that woman, she won't raise her, they aren't biologically linked, she is in no way that child's mother. Yes being a mum is mote than DNA, but it's also more than giving birth. She was a selfish woman, who committed a crime to have a child and died as the consequences to her actions. It's sad but true.

[@annmariesmith7437]

​@@MuddyPigg its the same case in ireland. The person who gives birth, no matter the DNA make up of the child been carried is considered the legal mother

[@tigerspook1]

Oh Dear, of course Rhona has been dragged through the ringer over all this, no one would deny her that emotional pain, but she is wrong in her outbursts go it alone sod everyone else attitude, she is a wife & mother to two other children and her callousness & wilful disregard in not considering her family, has now led to massive discontent within her own family group..

[@ami5183]

And so was she kidnapping ivy and running off leaving husband and kids to take off to Canada. And she got off and got rewarded with Ivy but she still has to be vile. Gus did wrong but ivy wouldn't exist for her to obsess over if he hadn't stolen the embryo. And they all seem to forget that with him breaking in he also saved gullible Mary. Rona put her family through the crap she blaming Gus for.

Boring

[@gmo1237]

I am done with this show. I suffered through it a few months ago on Amazon, starting with the kid’s fatal New Year’s joyride and ending (due, in part I’ll admit , to some of those annoying accents) with that Rhona whackjob’s kidnapping of Ivy. However, I returned to it today out of sheer boredom and was soon reminded why I swore earlier to endure it never again. Part of the reason people watch serials and what makes Eastenders so fabulous and fun to watch is that (1) people who deserve it actually do get what’s coming to them and (2) any message-based plot line, however transparent, doesn’t come across as one-sided and driven primarily by agenda. Not on Emmerdale, though! What that crazy Rhona woman did (in addition to attempted witness tampering, intimidation and perverting the course of justice) amounts to textbook kidnapping. She had *no legal authority whatsoever* over that baby, a baby she readily admitted to having taken without *legal* parental consent-and that, I’m sorry to disappoint you, is statutory kidnapping, regardless of biology, genetics and whatever else her “feelings” may have been at the time. Therefore, that ridiculous acquittal, also known as jury nullification, *is not only unlawful, it should have been overturned immediately by the judge*, but he, along with possibly the prosecutor that issued the jury instructions, is obviously just as big an idiot as those jury members. And so, Crazy Rhona gets away with committing a crime for which there really is no viable defense-at least not in her particular circumstances. How very, very satisfying to watch… Which leads me to the second reason you’d have pay me to watch this garbage show again: The viewer may recall Rhona’s “defense” was based on the notion of her DNA connection with Behbey Ivy. Specifically, she argued that their shared DNA is more than a mere fact; it is an *immutable* fact, so much so that she could neither ignore nor deny it, and to try otherwise would cruelly force poor Rhona to deny important and obvious truths about the nature of DNA and its *irrevocable* presence in both her and the kid. That argument was trotted out, despite the fact that it should have had *zero* bearing on her culpability. Nonetheless, the writers of this muck and the show’s brain dead legal consultant obviously thought it sound enough of an argument for a jury to buy. ISN’T IT FUNNY, THEN, how that same DNA argument, when presented by the old lady, landed *her* as the resident ignoramus, clearly in need of a gentle scold about the -surprise!-irrelevance of DNA as a determining presence in our bodies, along with a patronizing lecture about one’s need to keep up with the times? Because that’s exactly what happened: The lady dared to point out that chest hair and state certification or not, Matty is, was and forever will be comprised of human mitochondrial DNA-an immutable fact, if you will, which makes Matty irrevocably a genetic female and validates the lady’s religious-based arguments against a church/hall wedding that she regarded as taking place between two women. So, while the veracity of DNA as a permanent fixture was regarded in Rhona’s case as important enough a factor to be used as mitigating and reasonable enough an argument for consideration by a jury, no less, that same argument when used by the old lady didn’t even receive an acknowledgement, let alone a minute’s consideration. None. At. All. Instead, she got a slew of one sided shame-lecturing by a bunch of intellectually lazy people until she was sufficiently indoctrina-oops, I mean, chastened-to run around apologizing for having stated the obvious by way of certain facts which, though clearly rejected at the time she made them, would, days later, be considered obvious enough to be permitted, presented and considered as a valid defense in a criminal court of law. Sorry/not sorry if you think I’m being “mean” or sound like a “hater”. I’m not here to suggest that anyone should be mistreated, nor is such conduct to be condoned. If a person needs to live their life in a certain way, that’s their business, but please don't go insulting people’s intelligence by a selective, hypocritical and frankly, an obviously agenda-driven use of facts, made in response to those inevitable occasions when it’s not smooth sailing-especially when it’s because someone with half a brain dared to point out the obvious. That which is annoyingly and inconveniently the truth doesn’t become any less so when ignored. Cheers and thank you! 😊
