Emmerdale’s Gus Malcolms’ downfall could be imminent after a court blunder that seemingly “proves guilt”.
Rhona Goskirk found herself in a courtroom nightmare on Thursday night (April 11) as she faced off against Gus. And in intense scenes, things initially seemed to be in Gus’ favour.
Rhona faced extreme allegations over the kidnapping of baby Ivy and accusations about her character from the prosecution, causing an incensed Rhona to lash out at a smirking Gus in the courtroom. The judge soon adjourned for the day, leaving Rhona berating herself for losing control and wondering if her outburst had jeopardised her chances in court, while a self-satisfied Gus revelled in her distress.
After the court drama unfolded, Rhona had a debrief with her squad when Gus swaggered over and quipped: “Well done Rhona! You offended the judge, the jury thinks you’re hysterical and it turns out we didn’t need to get the drug addiction to stick… bring it back tomorrow because you won’t be going home!”
Emmerdale fans took to Twitter, slamming Gus for his courtroom smirks that screamed “guilty as sin”. One viewer tweeted: “Like the jury can’t see Gus smirking in the courtroom,” while another chimed in: “Rhona’s barrister needs to tell the judge about Gus smirking or even announce it to the whole court. See who’ll be smirking then.”
Meanwhile, some eagle-eyed soap buffs were left scratching their heads, tweeting: “I didn’t think Rhona and Gus or anyone who’s facing court together was allowed to talk to each other?” and another pointed out: “The smirky looks there giving each other across the courtroom. Gus is guilty #thatisit.”
