Emmerdale: Mary comes out to Kim

In tonight’s episode (Monday, June 13) Mary and Kim went for a chat at Home Farm.

After Kim asked if Mary had been with anyone since her late husband, she was quick to change the subject.

Soon Mary admitted she moved to Emmerdale to fix things with Rhona, make a fresh start and be more open.

She then told a supportive Kim that she is gay.

Mary explained how growing up there was no representation, so she tried to put it to the back of her mind, got married and had Rhona.

After her husband Barry died, she met a woman named Louise, who she fell for.

Mary wanted to tell Louise how she felt, but Louise fell ill during lockdown and died alone in a Covid ward in hospital.

Kim encouraged Mary to tell Rhona the truth and later Mary asked her daughter to go for lunch the next day as she wanted to catch up with her.

But how will Rhona react?
