Emmerdale fans are set to find out on Friday night if soap villain Pierce Harris will be convicted of raping his wife, Rhona Goskirk. 

The courtroom cliffhanger has been the big storyline this week and in Thursday's double episode Rhona (played by Zoe Henry) confronted Harris (played Jonathan Wrather) before he was due to give evidence and he admitted to his crime.

But when Harris took the stand he stuck to his story that he was innocent. However, the prosecution had shown there were flaws in his testimony.

Viewers will learn of the verdict when the jury returns on TV3 and ITV on Friday at 7pm.

If you have been affected by any of these issues please contact the Rape Crisis Centre on 1800 778 888 or the Samaritans on 116 123.
