Fans of Emmerdale are sick and tired of the relationship between Rhona Goskirk and Pete Barton.
The pair haven’t exactly been love’s young dream recently and viewers are now begging ITV soap scriptwriters to split the couple up for everyone’s sakes!

It’s been a tricky few months for Rhona as she’s survived an accident on the farm, which left her needing an emergency hysterectomy.
Now going through an early menopause, viewers have seen her becoming increasingly cranky and taking it out on long-suffering partner Pete.
We’ve also seen her being unfaithful during the soap’s huge Big Night Out story arc, when the vet cheated on Pete with newcomer Nate.

Now it seems, Pete might be about to embark on an affair of his own, as Kim Tate sets her sights on him.
But it doesn’t sound like soap fans would be too upset if Rhona and Pete hit the rocks and broke up for good.
One viewer wrote on Digital Spy Forum: “At first Rhona and Pete were cute together, but now I just feel all their scenes are like groundhog day. The powers that be should split them up.
“Rhona feels Pete doesn’t understand her menopause… Other characters tell Pete to be thoughtful, Pete is thoughtful then Rhona is horrible to him and he gets upset…
“Then they apologise for upsetting each other and say things will change in the future. Pete sees Rhona with Nate, he gets upset, Rhona apologises. Repeat over and over again.”
Another agreed, saying: “Rhona and Pete shouldn’t stay together. She fully deserves the name ‘Rhona the moaner’. She really is such a miserable character.”
A third said: “Pete is a reserved person and needs a jolly person to react with.”
“They are both obviously unhappy,” added yet another. “If I were Pete, I wouldn’t put up with Rhona’s crap attitude. He can’t do anything right.”
Others felt that “any connection they had is long gone” and the pair have “zero chemistry”, while one even saw a possible romance with Pete and Amy Wyatt.
“I really liked Pete and Rhona as a couple,” lamented one fan. “But it is painful to watch them now. Shame. I haven’t watched the latest, but I think they are going to break up. I just feel badly for Leo.”
Upcoming scenes reveal Kim sets her sights on Pete, but is the feeling mutual?
The farmhand just happens to to be passing when Kim finds her car stuck in some mud, and helpfully tows her out with his tractor.
But while Pete might have just been doing his good deed for the day, Kim has other plans and asks him to stay for a drink when they get back to Home Farm later that day…
Will Pete find comfort in the arms of Kim?
