Will Emmerdale's Marlon Dingle sway his wife's decision in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings)?

So Rhona Dingle has decided to allow her ex-husband Gus to use their embryos to try to make a baby with his new wife Lucy.

It's a very kind and generous thing to do. 

Rhona knows what it's like to desperately want a child, and having learned that Gus has had cancer treatment and won't be able to try to procreate otherwise, she's said yes.

But Marlon is worried that his wife hasn't thought about it from all angles. 

Knowing what a devoted mum and step mum she is to Leo and April, the pub cook isn't sure that she's considered how it will feel to have someone else raising a child that's biologically hers. 

It would also mean her son Leo has a biological half-sibling.

As the couple discuss her decision, Rhona realises her husband is right…

Later, as she breaks down in tears, is Rhona crying because she's about to shatter Gus and Lucy's parenting dreams?
