    Emmerdale aired the devastating aftermath of Rhona Goskirk's rape on Tuesday night (April 25) as she decided not to name Pierce Harris as her attacker.

    Rhona was brutally attacked by her new husband just hours after their wedding in last night's episode, sparking a debate among viewers about whether the intense storyline was suitable for the show's 7pm timeslot.

    The ITV soap's latest episode saw Rhona left traumatised in the wake of Pierce's attack, especially when he showed no remorse and even tried to justify his behaviour.

    Although Rhona tried to play along with Pierce's point of view, she soon managed to trick him by escaping from their house and taking a taxi to the police station – still in her wedding dress.


    Rhona told the officers that she'd been raped, but when she heard that her attacker would have to be arrested if she named him, she got cold feet and decided not to take it further for now.

    Instead, Rhona agreed to visit a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), where trained professionals gave her a medical examination and gathered together evidence.

    As this evidence will be stored, this could prove crucial if Rhona does change her mind and decide to report Pierce.

    Zoe Henry, who plays Rhona, had previously warned that Tuesday's episode would feature even more upsetting scenes than Monday's.

    Speaking live on This Morning, she explained: "Tonight, in the playing, was harder than what we shot last night in a way, because of how Pierce reacts. You expect an apology or a 'I can't believe I did that', but that doesn't come.

    "Rhona feels not that she deserves this, but that she's brought this about. She's seen signs and she's ignored them and she's defended him, and she's pushed her friends away. Here she is on her own and where does she go from here? That's the question, isn't it?"

    There must be evidence from Rhona and her clothes of the attack even if she won't name Pierce, can the police still prosecute if Rhona drops the case?

    Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk has left the village for a short break in the aftermath of her devastating rape ordeal.

    After days of emotional turmoil, Rhona (Zoe Henry) made the big decision in Thursday night's second episode – realising that she needed time away to clear her head.

    Rhona was raped by her new husband Pierce Harris on her wedding day earlier this week, but Emmerdale fans have been left fearing that he won't face justice as she's largely been suffering in silence ever since.

    Although Rhona did briefly speak to the police and also visited a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), she felt unable to proceed with a full interview or pressing charges against Pierce.

    Tonight's emotional double bill saw Pierce continue his appalling behaviour as he tried his best to manipulate Rhona even further.

    Pierce warned Rhona that she wouldn't be successful if she pressed charges against him and even threatened to use their sex tape against her if she took it any further.

    Only time will tell whether Rhona is scared off by Pierce's threats in the long-run, but for the time being, she's headed off on her honeymoon to get some much-needed distance from her evil husband.

    Continuing to cover for Pierce by pretending everything was normal, she told Marlon Dingle that he'd be joining her later on after something unexpected cropped up with work.

    Emmerdale fans don't need to worry about losing Rhona for long, as she'll be back in the village early next month as the Pierce storyline continues.

    Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk WILL name Pierce Harris to the police as her rape storyline continues
    Emmerdale's Rhona Goskirk will follow through with reporting Pierce Harris to the police when she returns to the village next month.
    Rhona was raped by Pierce on their wedding day earlier this week, but she ultimately felt unable to go through with pressing charges against him in emotional scenes.
    Although Rhona did visit the police station and a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) – where crucial evidence was gathered – she later returned home to the village without seeing the process through.
    Since then, Rhona has headed off away from Emmerdale for a short break, desperate for an escape from Pierce and his evil attempts to torment her further.
    Speaking at an Emmerdale press day, show producer Iain MacLeod told Digital Spy and other media where the dark storyline goes from here.
    "Ultimately abusers don't stop being abusers because they get caught," he explained. "The result will be that Rhona will ultimately see through the course of action she started this week and we will follow the story through the legal process.
    "Within all that, Pierce is a controlling man and the tragic reality of the situation is that those men don't really stop. Therefore we felt a responsibility that we had to show Pierce's behaviour continuing, albeit in a slightly different form.
    "We'll be playing it out through and over the summer."
    MacLeod added that he ultimately wants the storyline to encourage survivors of rape and sexual abuse to come forward.
    He confirmed: "We want this story to get Rhona to a point, and viewers at home who have been through similar to a point, where they feel it's been a positive story to tell rather than a negative one.
    "The worst thing we can do as dramatists would be to dissuade people at home who may have experienced this from coming forward and speaking about it.
    "We'd hope the opposite is true – that more people come forward and report their experience. We want that outcome for Rhona and the viewer.
    "It's a big story for us and comes back in various chapters, with a big story peak in late summer."

    Emmerdale star Zoe Henry has revealed new details of Rhona Goskirk's return next week, explaining how she's "absolutely terrified" when she arrives back in the village.

    Rhona has decided to take some time away with her young son Leo after the trauma of being raped by her new husband Pierce Harris on their wedding day.

    As soon as Rhona arrives back, she lets Paddy Kirk know that her marriage to Pierce is over already – but how long it'll take for her to start confiding in her loved ones with the full story remains to be seen.

    Revealing the drama to come, Zoe explained: "Rhona has been in a state of panic after what happened. She's been to Cornwall, not Scotland as planned. She's genuinely terrified about what she's coming back to, and her state of mind is fragile and alone.

    "Rhona is absolutely terrified that Pierce might come back. She doesn't know where he is and that's part of the terror: is he going to be in her house? Is he going to have told everybody what happened? Is he going to have made up a pack of lies? She's really unsure of what to expect and that really frightens her.

    "It's very difficult for Rhona to step into the house, let alone the lounge where it happened. She makes herself go in with Leo, but she makes sure everything is locked up – the doors are bolted and the windows are locked. She's a woman on the edge, but stepping into that lounge is the hardest thing she's ever done."

    As we revealed yesterday, Rhona's best friend Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) comes to see her after Paddy tells her about the split from Pierce. Upon her arrival, she's stunned to see that Rhona has trashed the house and all of the wedding presents.

    Zoe continued: "Rhona has kept it all together for Leo's sake, but coming back to the house opens that can of worms again. When she gets to the lounge, she decides to deal with the wedding presents, but there's a gift there from Pierce.

    "When Rhona sees that, she snaps and she loses it. She sees that he bought her a wedding night gift, so the wheels come off and she loses it big time.

    "Rhona would love to share all of this with someone, namely Vanessa, but their relationship has broken down because of Pierce – to the point where Rhona feels almost responsible.

    "It's not that the attack was Rhona's fault, but she feels somehow she brought it on and she could have stopped it. There's a lot of guilt involved with how she's treated Vanessa and she feels very alone.

    "I think this is the beginning of Rhona's nightmare. As much as this was an awful ordeal, in some ways it's going to be awful to re-live it – if other people find out, if she tells the police, or if she goes to court. I wonder if Rhona might put it all back into a box and forget about it."

    Just hope Rhona's guilt feeling doesn't lead to allowing Pierce back into her life. Should tell Vanessa what happened, I'd bet she'd give Rhona a lot of support. Needs someone to move in with her , get the locks changed and carry a panic alarm. A pressurised can of hair spray at hand might also provide some protection.

    Are you allowed a can of hair spray in self defence? Pierce being a solicitor might accuse her of ABH?

    Worth looking Perdy at following, on the net, "Self-Defence and the Prevention of Crime" guidelines from C.P.S. for U.K. Reasonable force, including preemptive strikes if threat of personal harm, as a last resort. Hair spray everyday item to have available. Damage to property different matter.
