Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk failed to tell her ex Marlon Dingle about her plans to move abroad with partner Graham Foster during tonight's episode (December 17).
As viewers already know, Rhona (Zoe Henry) is planning to move to France with Graham and her son Leo (Harvey Rogerson) after receiving a job offer for a new veterinary position.
The beginning of Tuesday's episode saw Rhona having a heart-to-heart with Graham (Andrew Scarborough) as she was worried that Marlon would be left devastated if she moved away with their son Leo.

Graham wasn't too convinced about letting Marlon know immediately, but Rhona didn't want to suffer the same consequences of her past choices when she'd previously tried to leave the village and move to New Zealand with Paddy.
"He has to know," she told Graham. "This can't wait."

Later on, Rhona had a conversation with Marlon, saying that she's decided to give her relationship with Graham another go.
"If he makes you happy, then I'm fine," Marlon told her.

But when it then looked like Rhona was about to confess that she's planning to move to a new country with Leo and Graham, she later changed her mind and instead asked Marlon if Leo could stay with him over Christmas.
Viewers at home are sure that Marlon is going to be left devastated when he finds about Rhona's intentions:
Although Rhona has failed to confess her impending move, it's only a matter of time before Marlon finds out what she's planning – could tensions with Rhona and Graham give Marlon a motive when Graham is murdered in a whodunit mystery in the new year?
