Rhona and Marlon are always seen as kind-hearted, but this season, that very kindness puts them in danger.

In their efforts to protect Dylan and April, they repeatedly make wrong decisions, each one making things worse.

Rhona believes that confronting Celia directly is the only way to end things.

But that courage quickly turns into recklessness.

Instead of protecting Dylan, Rhona inadvertently makes him a more obvious target.

Marlon, despite trying to keep things under control, cannot escape the guilt of his past choices.

They are caught between morality and survival instinct. They know they are doing wrong, but they see no other way. Every action carries consequences, and Emmerdale is gradually teaching them that compassion isn’t always enough to save lives.
