Emmerdale fans have called out a glaring problem with Lucy's pregnancy as she clashes with Rhona in explosive scenes. Last week, Marlon Dingle's flashback scenes included his hospital visit where he was discharged after suffering a stroke last year.
Rhona Confronts Ex and His Wife
As Marlon left his appointment, he ran into his wife Rhona's ex, Gus, and his current wife, Lucy. Lucy revealed a significant baby bump, causing Marlon to question if Rhona had donated her frozen embryos to Gus. However, it was later revealed that Gus had stolen Rhona's passport to fake her consent and secure one of the embryos, resulting in Lucy's pregnancy.
The Bombshell Drops
Marlon struggled to tell Rhona the news, but in upcoming scenes, he finally reveals what he knows, turning her world upside down. Rhona decides to confront Gus about the fact that a baby, biologically hers, will soon be born without her consent, leading to an explosive showdown between the exes and a pregnant Lucy.
Fans Point Out Flaw in Storyline
Emmerdale fans who have been reading the soap spoilers have pointed out a major flaw in the storyline. Some have questioned the timeline of the pregnancy, noting that if Gus stole Rhona's passport in May, it doesn't add up for Lucy to be heavily pregnant by November. Viewers have raised concerns about the accuracy of the pregnancy progression and the premature birth of the baby.
A show source previously shared insight on the controversial storyline, saying, "It's an absolutely outlandish storyline and viewers will be stunned and gripped. It's never been done before on a soap, and it's pretty controversial. It's quite brave of scriptwriters to go there. There are concerns it could upset people going through their own fertility journey."
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
