Rhona the ‘hypocrite’ strikes again as she forgets Ivy saga and condemns Marlon for failing to put family first

Fans of Emmerdale have branded Rhona Goskirk a ‘hypocrite’ following her behaviour last night – as she slammed Marlon for prioritising missing April over Leo, Ivy and the rest of his family.

In last night’s episode (Monday, February 3), Marlon hit an all-new low in his search for April. Having spent the night out looking for his daughter, he was beaten up and robbed while on the streets of Leeds.

Returning home, he remained laser-focused on April, earning the frustration of Rhona, who felt like she’d been left out in the cold, along with kids Leo and Ivy. This came to a head as Marlon lashed out at her and everyone around him.

He was talked around by Paddy and eventually made amends with Rhona… but some feel like Rhona might be forgetting something.

Emmerdale fans slam ‘hypocrite’ Rhona

As last night’s episode aired, viewers took to X to remind Rhona of her own past. Namely, her obsessive battle for baby Ivy, and the kidnapping saga which followed.

“Marlon’s doing for April the same as Rhona did for IVF [Ivy], ignoring everyone else,” wrote one fan.

“I mean Rhona has got a nerve after how obsessed and stupid she behaved over Ivy. Of course Marlon is going to be obsessed with trying to find April,” another said.

“Funny how Rhona didn’t take the same advice when she was so focused on Ivy,” wrote a third.

“Rhona u hid everything from Marlon about IVF ya hypocrite,” said a fourth.

Rhona’s battle for baby Ivy

Ivy learned that she had a daughter with ex-husband Gus in 2023. After initially trying for IVF together, he secretly used her embryos to have a child with his second wife after he’d split from Rhona. Learning that Gus and Lucy had used her embryos without her consent, Rhona was fuming.

During their confrontation, Lucy went into premature labour and died. Rhona continued visiting baby Ivy in the hospital, forming a bond with the infant.

In the months which followed, a bitter battle ensued between Gus and Rhona. While he initially allowed her to visit the child, his refusal to allow her legal rights over the child led Rhona to spiral – kidnapping Ivy and attempting to flee the country.

Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and she returned home – just as Gus was imprisoned for fraud. Ivy now resides with Rhona and her family – when the writers remember she exits, that is.
