Emmerdale fans were left bemused when they found out who has been stalking Rhona Goskirk in the last few episodes.
Viewers were left to conclude that it was her estranged rapist husband Pierce Harris, but no, it was not him, it was his mother.
WHOA! Pierce's mum is gas lighting Rhona!!!!!! #Emmerdale pic.twitter.com/s5mE8hnOKV

Yes, how weird, it was Martha (Elaine Claxton) that had been breaking into Rhona's (Zoe Henry) house and leaving messages.
Even Rhona's ex-husband Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) got involved and tried to confront Pierce about his stalking, but he had been away in Amsterdam.
Worse again, Paddy then started thinking that Rhona was losing her mind.
But why would anybody suspect Martha? She was only in the programme ahead of Pierce and Rhona's wedding and it would be fair enough if people had forgotten who she even was.
Fans took to Twitter after the bombshell was dropped to voice their surprise with one commentator saying "this makes absolutely no sense".
Didn't Pierce's mum try to warn Rhona and was threatened by Pierce to stay away?! This makes absolutely no sense. #Emmerdale

So if Rhona has locked her doors how did Norman Bates mother get a key #Emmerdale

Several Emmerdale fans were stumped as to why Pierce would have his own mother committing such an act, although it was not clear if he was aware of her actions.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "Y wud Pierce's mum stalk Rhona? I don't get it.... Is it 2 try 2 set Pierce up? #Emmerdale."
Another said: "So hes been getting his mum to scare rhona.. my god he really is a freak #emmerdale."
"Pierce's mother Martha is Rhona's stalker, but why ?? Is she working wiv Pierce or doesn't he know ?? #Emmerdale," one asked.
Others were just flat-out floored by the turn of events, and many were just bemused as to why Rhona did not change her locks.
One viewer said: "So if Rhona has locked her doors how did Norman Bates mother get a key #Emmerdale."
"Change the locks, Rhona. Ffs. #emmerdale," another wrote.
One chimed in: "Simple answer Rhona change the bloody locks and also install hidden cameras just to be sure! #emmerdale."
