Emmerdale Gus downfall 'sealed' as fans spot courtroom 'mistake' after Rhona outburst
Emmerdale's Rhona lost control in court as she begged the jury to believe that she didn't kidnap Ivy - but viewers think she may have the upper hand
Emmerdale: Gus smirks after Rhona loses it
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Gus Malcolms made a huge mistake that could lead to his downfall. Gus, played by Alan McKenna, has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) for months.
Viewers will know that Ivy is Rhona's biological daughter, born after Gus used their frozen embryos to have a baby with his wife Lucy. She sadly died in childbirth, while Rhona began to form a connection to Ivy.
After learning Gus was plotting to move to Cananda, Rhona fled with Ivy but was later arrested for kidnapping. Rhona's appearance in court arrived during Thursday's episode (April 11) of the ITV soap.
But she put her freedom on the line when she was examined over why she kidnapped Ivy. She fumed: "The law is an ass quite frankly. I’m sorry but he stole from me.

“He allowed another woman to give birth to my child without me having a say or a right to argue. And now when I want to have an opinion how that child, is raised, I am accused of abduction and kidnap."
Rhona told the jury: "It’s insanity. Ivy is my child in every way that matters. And you have to believe that I only took her because I love her. She is my daughter."
As Rhona completely lost her temper, Gus could be seen smirking from the gallery. But viewers believe his "smug" behaviour could come back to haunt him.
Sharing their thoughts online, one wrote: "Like the jury can't see Gus smirking in the courtroom #emmerdale." Another fumed: "Somebody wipe that smirk off Gus's please."
