Emmerdale fans think an exit could be on the cards for Rhona Goskirk (played by Zoe Henry) after her ex Gus (Alan McKenna) told lies about her in court. They have also predicted a steamy affair between Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) and Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzel) after the GP turned down Charles’ (Kevin Mathurin) proposal.
As Rhona awaited her fate, Manpreet confided in Billy about how she really felt about Charles’ marriage proposal. “Is there any way you’ll change your mind?” Billy asked as a fed-up Manpreet replied: “I made it pretty clear. Why am I even talking to you about this anyway?”
“A trusting face,” Billy replied. “Manpreet, I have seen how much Charles loves you.” The GP went on: “I know he loves me, I have no doubt about that. Why do we even need marriage?”
When asked why it was such a big leap because, “You’re really happy because you are, aren’t you?” She said: “Yes..”
“You need to talk to him,” Billy urged as the doctor fired back: “And say what exactly? By the way, not only do I not want to marry you but now I doubt I ever will.”
“There I have said it and to you,” she joked.
Meanwhile, as Manpreet and Charles prepared to go on a date night, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) interrupted them before they were about to leave.
He explained Ruby Milligan (Beth Cordonly) had put in an official complaint about her.
Fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts and theories, and many think Manpreet will embark on an affair.
“Billy and Manpreet…just putting it out there..#Emmerdale,” one fan suggested.
Another said: “Seems a strange choice to talk it over with Billy #Emmerdale.”
While a third went on: “These two need to get it on #Emmerdale.”
Other fans suggested Manpreet and Liam could spark a romance, with one predicting: “Liam fancies himself a bit of Manpreet she is gorgeous though #Emmerdale.” (sic)
“#emmerdale Manpreet showing off her wares in front of Liam who she wants to be with instead of the vicar,” someone else commented.
Some fans also think Rhona will be sent to prison following Gus’ lies in court, as one shared: “Rhona has shot herself in the foot here. She’s lost it! #Emmerdale.”
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
