'RHONA TAKES DRASTIC ACTION – IT'S PRIMAL'

Actress Zoë Henry reveals her character goes all out as the battle for baby Ivy begins in Emmerdale

The joys of being with baby lvy are abruptly threatened for Rhona Goskirk when her ex returns to Emmerdale intent on taking his daughter home.

The complex storyline has been raising eyebrows among fans as Rhona, played by Zoë Henry, has grown closer to the baby that is biologically hers, but who she has no legal right to.

Her former husband, Gus Malcolms, played by Alan McKenna, used her embryos - without her knowledge - to have a baby with wife Lucy, who subsequently died in childbirth.

Since then Rhona has been caring for Ivy, and Zoë, 50, says she can sympathise after an incident involving her daughter with her real-life husband and Emmerdale co-star Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain Dingle.
