Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk could be heading for a major row with Marlon Dingle over her plans to leave the village.
Spoilers released by the show have revealed that Rhona will decide to move abroad in an upcoming storyline, after receiving a tempting job offer.
Rhona is excited when she's given the opportunity to work at a veterinary practice in France, with a house included as part of the job package.
She makes plans to go with her partner Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) and young son Leo (Harvey Rogerson), but puts off telling Leo's father Marlon about her intentions.

Speaking about the new storyline, Zoe Henry – who plays Rhona – explained: "The move for Rhona very much includes the three of them, but there is the obstacle of taking Leo away from his dad.
What to Read Next
"Graham is up for it because he has fallen for Rhona. The village doesn't offer much for him anymore. Kim is a thorn in his side and she's never going to go away. The only way to get rid of her is to physically remove himself from the village."
She added: "If I were Rhona's best friend, I'd be telling her that she should talk to Marlon! But currently she chooses not to – and I do understand it.
"Rhona has tried to leave before, when she was still married to Paddy. They tried to emigrate to New Zealand and it got really tricky, nasty and a bit violent!

"Rhona is trying to pre-empt that from happening again. Rather than confronting the situation and dealing with it head-on, she's sticking her head in the sand and pretending it's not happening.
"This is the worst way to deal with it, because inevitably – like in any soap village – Marlon is going to find out."
Kim is secretly pulling all the strings when it comes to Rhona's job offer, wanting her and Graham to leave for good.
Fans have already been told that the couple's plans are doomed to fail, as a shocking exit storyline for Graham will air in the New Year.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
