Rhona's mother interrupts proposal in Emmerdale

But why is she here?

Rhona gets down on one knee to propose, but her attempt is quickly thwarted by the sudden arrival of her mother, Mary!

No nonsense Mary has a strained relationship with her daughter who has always felt she was never good enough for her mother.

Though Mary will prove a hit with everyone she meets in the village, will she be able to repair her broken relationship with Rhona? Can they put the past behind them and begin to cherish the fact they are mother and daughter?

With Mary’s acerbic wit and stubbornness, Rhona knows there won’t be a dull moment whilst her domineering mother is around and it’s only a matter of time before she starts ruffling feathers in the village.

But how long before unsettled Rhona finds out the real reason behind her mother’s arrival?

Emmerdale continues Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV
