EMMERDALE fans were left baffled tonight as rapist killer Pierce Harris spoke to his sleeping ex Rhona and stroked her face – but she didn’t wake up.
Rhona was passed out on the sofa when Pierce crept in to check up on her after lurking nearby.
He lifted the blanket over her before whispering: “I love you. I promise I’m going to take you away from all of this, very soon.”
Pierce – who murdered her partner Graham Foster in secret last month – then watched her sleep before sneaking away.
Rhona had no idea she was being watched – but viewers think the storyline was too far-fetched.
One said: “How much wine did she drink not to know or feel someone talk or stroke her hair? Beyond a joke.. Might be time to switch off #Emmerdale.”
Another added: “How the hell did Rhona not wake up when Pierce was next to her & talking……. The creepiness of these scenes…….. This Build-Up is Brilliant!!! #Emmerdale”
Someone else said: “Well she fell asleep quickly. As if she didn’t hear what he said including his physical contact! More than a little far fetched #Emmerdale.”
Another commented: “#Emmerdale Even though Rhona was asleep she could have still heard Pierce, she could have felt his hand on her??”
Earlier Rhona had admitted she’s struggling to cope since Graham’s death.
“It’s the thought of everything I’ve lost,” she said.
“I saw a side to Graham no one else around here saw.
“I know he was the hard-man, but that was just a defence mechanism.
“He had been really, really hurt in the past and was determined not to let it happen again.
“That’s why he found it so hard to trust people.
“I think we could have been really happy together, but in one night someone has taken all of that away from me.”
Murderer Pierce returned to the village to stalk his ex wife after being released from prison.
He had served half his five year sentence for raping Rhona on their wedding day.
Despite hanging around the village and letting himself into Rhona’s house almost every day, no one has noticed he’s back.
Rhona’s other ex Marlon Dingle is banged up for Graham’s brutal murder – even though he’s an innocent man.
