AFTER coming out as a lesbian with a little help from Kim Tate, Mary Goskirk took a dive into the dating pool.
But while love continues to blossom between her and Faye, she finds out her other half could leave Emmerdale.
Mary Goskirk has been getting close to Faye
But her love interest has a shocking confession to make next week
Will Faye really give up on her romance with Mary
Regular ITV viewers will know that Mary (portrayed by Louise Jameson) tiptoed her way out of the closet.
It most notably took her years to finally be comfortable enough to be upfront about her sexuality with her daughter Rhona Goskirk.
Once she was able to be open, Mary began her search to find a new partner and found Faye.
The pair have had rocky beginnings but, eventually, the romance took a pleasant turn and they’ve grown fond of one another.
But in a shocking twist, Faye explains to Mary that she needs to go back to Ecuador next week, in order to help run the women’s refuge.
Mary is spun out and tries to convince her to stay in the eponymous village with her, but there’s nothing to it – Faye insists she can’t let people down and has to leave.
However, she’s not willing to put an end to their relationship and, instead, encourages Mary to take a leap of faith and leave with her.
That afternoon, Mary explains everything to Rhona (Zoe Henry) and, feeling conflicted, chooses to pass up on the opportunity.
Rhona, on the other hand, is relief her mother decides to stay behind but Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) soon gets involved.
Mary opens up to her about what’s stopping her from following Faye and she surprises herself by saying her main reason for giving up on Faye is her daughter, Rhona.
Suzy gives Mary some food for thought when she admits that she regrets not following Vanessa Woodfield to Canada, but she knows her former girlfriend will be coming back.
Will Mary reconsider her decision and follow Faye to Ecuador?
Or will she sacrifice the happy relationship for the sake of Rhona?
Mary reconnected with the village vet in 2022 after years of estrangement and the duo have encountered several difficulties along the way.
