Emmerdale’s Gus Malcolms has had a change of heart and offered an unexpected olive branch to Rhona Goskirk, despite their ongoing feud over baby daughter Ivy. Gus’s previous behavior towards Rhona in court was nothing short of vile, as their battle for custody of Ivy led to both of them being arrested. Viewers will recall that Rhona was recently found not guilty of kidnapping her biological child, while Gus still awaits his fate over fraud charges. The charges against Gus stem from his unauthorized use of frozen embryos that belonged to him and Rhona from their marriage years ago. Rhona had believed the embryos had been destroyed, and when Gus shared his plans to use them with his wife, Lucy, she refused to give her consent. Undeterred, Gus forged her signature, resulting in Lucy’s pregnancy. However, tragedy struck when Lucy sadly passed away during Ivy’s birth. Since then, Rhona has been keen on playing an active role in her biological daughter’s life, but Gus’s attempt to flee to France with Ivy behind Rhona’s back led to her taking the child back. Fast forward a few months, and Rhona has been cleared of any wrongdoing, while Gus faces the consequences of his actions in court this week, potentially facing years behind bars. In a surprising turn of events, Gus suddenly claimed he was putting Ivy’s well-being first and wanted Rhona and Marlon’s help in raising her. He approached Marlon, expressing his desire to work together to create a stable and loving home for Ivy, regardless of his sentencing. Gus went on to confide in Rhona about his fears regarding his upcoming court appearance, bringing up the statement she was asked to provide for him. ITV Emmerdale fans have been left buzzing with speculation, with some even predicting a double exit involving a murder and a long-standing resident meeting their demise. Despite Gus’s apparent change of heart, Rhona remains skeptical, questioning his true intentions. Gus hinted that he would like them to help care for Ivy if he were sent to prison, and he engaged in an amicable conversation with the pair regarding Ivy’s future. Rhona wisely sought Marlon’s opinion on the matter, expressing her doubts about Gus’s sincerity. Marlon reassured her, saying, “We’re all gonna be fine,” but will Rhona’s instincts prove correct, and is Gus plotting something sinister? With Gus’s court date fast approaching, he expressed his sadness at the prospect of being separated from his daughter and left with Rhona to head home. However, viewers were quick to express their disbelief, convinced that Gus was planning to abscond with Ivy before his hearing. One fan took to social media to question, “Is Gus doing a runner?” Another echoed this sentiment, stating, “I wouldn’t trust Gus further than I could throw him,” while a third added, “I really really don’t trust Gus, he’s gonna take Ivy and run… I just know it.” Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30 pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
