Emmerdale 29th July - 2nd August 2013
Rhona is furious with Vanessa who has been confiding in Moira about her friend with a painkiller addiction, however Vanessa reassures Rhona that she used the ruse of a “male friend”. The friends appear to be back on the right track but Rhona is already focusing on her next fix.
When her dealer fails to get her any pills, Rhona starts showing signs of withdrawal and claims to Paddy that she is unwell.
Later, when Vanessa hears that Rhona is off sick, she confronts Rhona, aware that she is self-medicating. During their heated confrontation, Vanessa makes a shock admission.
Vet Vanessa Woodfield is of course very confused over her feelings for her friend Rhona Kirk right now, and none of it’s being made any easier by the fact that Vanessa is supplying Rhona with drugs!
However, as we’re set to see next week, when Rhona gets fed up of having to rely solely on Vanessa to curb her drug cravings, she’ll turn to a drug dealer, but of course, that’s a move that’s potentially fraught with danger.
The drama begins on Tuesday, July 30, when we see Rhona hurling insults at Vanessa as she’s still fuming after finding out that Vanessa confided in Moira (Natalie J Robb) about her drug addicted friend…
However, Vanessa reassures Rhona that she used the ruse of a “male friend” and later, Rhona apologises to Vanessa and suggests that maybe they should find her a real male ‘friend’ which of course leaves Vanessa thrown.
Then, in Thursday’s double-bill of episodes, we’ll see that a struggling Rhona has set up a meeting with her dealer, but she’s distressed when he turns up empty-handed having been unable to get hold of her pills. Anxiously, she asks how long it will be until he can get them, and in her panic, she tells him for now, she’ll take whatever he’s got to sell her, no matter what it is.
Later, there’s momentary panic when Leo’s nursery calls to say nobody’s arrived to pick the little boy up, and when they finally catch up with Rhona, both Marlon (Mark Charnock) and Paddy (Dominic Brunt) seem unconvinced when she comes up with an excuse about why she didn’t collect Leo…
On Friday, with Rhona in a foul mood, struggling with withdrawal and physically shivering, Paddy seems to buy it when she tells him she’s not feeling well. He offers to get her something from the chemist, which Rhona guiltily accepts, but she suggests that they don’t tell Vanessa and Pearl that she’s not well, saying they might worry about catching whatever bug she has.
However, later, when Paddy accidentally lets the cat out of the bag, Vanessa’s fuming to realise what’s going on, and she confronts Rhona, telling her that self-medicating is dangerous…
But as Vanessa lays into Rhona about her behaviour, will she also let it slip that she’s more than a concerned friend?
Monday
Rhona makes a call to arrange a meeting with her dealer. The dodgy dealer's offerings look dangerous as they are unboxed and unbranded, but a desperate Rhona rips into them and gorges what she can.
Later, Vanessa apologises to Rhona for messing up their friendship by her confession over her feelings. However, Rhona is unable to listen and dashes to the lavatory to be violently sick. It soon becomes clear that there is a serious problem when she begins vomiting blood. Rhona is rushed to hospital and is in a bad way, while Vanessa is distraught to realise the extent of her addiction and deceptive dealings. She urges Rhona to come clean to both the hospital and Paddy, but can Rhona admit the truth?
Tuesday
Rhona is visited in hospital by the doctor, who is worried about her. As Rhona had so much paracetamol in her body, it was either down to an overdose or a dependency problem. Taking matters into her own hands and to avoid more questions, Rhona swiftly discharges herself.
Later at home, Paddy is mortified, angry and perplexed to have phoned Rhona's mother, only to discover that his wife has been lying to him about where she is. When Rhona returns home, will Paddy confront his wife and get the truth as to where she has been?
Wednesday
Rhona is completely thrown when Paddy explains that he's booked them a last-minute instant break in Whitby to save their marriage. Unable to find a legitimate reason to object, she is forced to agree. Later, Vanessa drops her bombshell that she will leave for good whilst they are away. How will Rhona cope?
Thursday
Finally, Vanessa urges Rhona to come clean to Paddy while they're away.
A manipulative Rhona is trying to convince Vanessa to stay, worried that she'll lose her drug supply. However, Vanessa remains unconvinced. In Smithy, Paddy is nervous as he knows his marriage depends on this trip. Rhona tells Paddy that going away won't fix anything and Paddy is heartbroken as he says they don't have a marriage anymore. Overhearing, Vanessa knows Rhona has chosen her over her marriage - will this convince her to stay?
Friday
Rhona uses her relationship breakdown with Paddy to manipulate Vanessa into giving her more pills. Sensing Paddy is vulnerable, Vanessa suggests to him that Rhona may be seeing someone else.
They'll be sleeping together by the end of August I bet, lol...

Rhona and Vanessa kiss.
Painkiller addict Rhona needs to keep Vanessa on side as she remains her main source of pills.
Although she has no romantic feelings for Vanessa whatsoever, Rhona has decided to manipulate her feelings to continue getting her fix.
Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa, explained: "It's a really unhealthy relationship, because it's totally one-sided. Of course Rhona cares deeply for Vanessa, because she always has done, but only as a friend. Vanessa's love runs a heck of a lot deeper than that!".
Revealing Vanessa's intentions, Hardwick continued: "At the moment Vanessa is not seeing past getting Rhona better. Once that has happened, she'd like to just walk out into The Woolpack as a couple and get everybody to accept them as a couple in the village.
"But at the forefront of Vanessa's mind at the moment is to get Rhona off the pills and get her to tell her husband Paddy the truth."
