Following Rhona Goskirk’s acquittal of kidnapping charges in Emmerdale, Gus Malcolms returned to the village, asserting his desire to prioritize his daughter Ivy’s well-being. He approached Marlon Dingle, proposing a collaborative effort to provide the best possible life and home for Ivy, requesting their involvement regardless of his sentencing outcome.
Gus later confided in Rhona his apprehension about his upcoming court appearance, prompting her to discuss the statement she had been requested to provide. In a bid to influence the proceedings, Gus hinted at his willingness to facilitate Rhona’s relationship with Ivy and suggested Rhona and Marlon care for her if he were to be incarcerated.
However, Emmerdale fans remain skeptical, expressing their suspicions on social media. Many speculate that Gus intends to flee the village, potentially taking Ivy with him. They question his sincerity, fearing that his actions are merely a ploy to gain favor and ultimately abscond with his daughter.
