Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ Faye’s accomplice leaked Mary Goskirk’s nude photo | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Mary Goskirk (played by Louise Jameson) thought she had one up on her villainous ex-girlfriend Faye Helders (Jane Gurnett) on Emmerdale when she convinced the fraudster to delete a nude photograph of her before she was taken into police custody.

Faye had a sex photograph of Mary saved onto her phone she was blackmailing her with, but the ex-journalist believed she’d outsmarted the con artist with her daughter Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) by recording Faye’s threats on Wednesday’s episode.

As Faye was handcuffed by an officer and shoved into a police car after being charged with blackmail, she warned Mary: “You will regret this!”

Mary was thrilled Faye had been arrested and celebrated with her loved ones in The Woolpack.

However, Mary’s happiness did not last long as she was soon left mortified to realise the explicit picture in question had been shared with all of her contacts.

Her grandchild even ended up seeing the photograph, with a distraught Mary saying: “They’ve seen it, they’ve all seen it.”

During the heartbreaking episode, Emmerdale fans took to Twitter, with some believing Gail Loman (Rachael Gill-Davis) is actually behind the photo leak as Faye’s accomplice. 

Emma Shell shared: “Ok, really wild theory… Gail could be related to Faye, and had a copy of the photo in case Faye got arrested. 

“When she learnt of Faye’s arrest she sent the photo since she would be in the village group chat.” 

Liz Wilks agreed, replying: “Yes, Gail is definitely dodgy. Interesting theory.”

Meanwhile, Kelly noted: “How did she send that when she was in custody? Poor Mary.”

A user called SG added: “How the hell did she send that photo after the police just arrested her?”

Stephen Patterson said: “Louise Jameson is sublime in every way. What a performance as Mary. #Emmerdale.”

Erin Zammitt shared: “Mary, that final scene felt like a gut punch – Louise Jameson really is a tremendous performer, and is such an asset to the show at the moment #Emmerdale.”

Could Gail be working alongside Faye while she is in police custody?

Why would she want to be part of Faye’s sinister blackmail plot?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
