Emmerdale's Pete Barton and Rhona Goskirk hit the rocks after "affair" row

Emmerdale has left fans fearing that Pete Barton and Rhona Goskirk could be over already after a sad cliffhanger.

The pair’s romance unexpectedly hit the rocks in Tuesday night’s episode (August 28) after some meddling from Vanessa Woodfield and Tracy Metcalfe caused chaos.

Vanessa and Tracy were convinced that Pete (Anthony Quinlan) was cheating on Rhona after he’d started behaving suspiciously.

It all came to a head tonight when Pete was caught having a secret meeting with another woman, sparking a showdown with Rhona, Tracy and Vanessa. However, much to the embarrassment of the trio, there was an entirely innocent explanation.

Pete’s only secret was that he’d been receiving sign language lessons, wanting to strike up a better bond with Rhona’s son Leo.

Although Pete did see the funny side of the misunderstanding, the mood turned sour when Rhona jokingly pointed out that he does have form for cheating.

The unwelcome reminder of Pete’s past led to new tensions with Rhona, who refused to entirely back down over why she was so suspicious.

In the end, Rhona admitted that she can’t help fearing her relationship with Pete will end in tears eventually, making her wonder whether it’s even worth trying at all.

As Rhona headed off home and a devastated Pete decided to stay back at the Barton house for the night, could this be the end for them just days after they’d moved in together?

Emmerdale continues on Wednesday (August 29) at 7pm on ITV.
