Despite Bob’s efforts to woo Celia, fans are convinced Mary Goskirk (Louisa Jameson) could be the person to turn Celia’s head.

Taking to a Emmerdale Facebook group, one fan penned: “I think Mary is going to fancy Celia and then go on a date and bring her to meet Rhona and April will be horrified.”

Another person responded: “That would be very interesting although I’d love Mary to be happy in love and really doubt it could happen with Celia.”

A third said: “That’s a great twist.” A fourth agreed: “That’s interesting.”

Fans think Mary Goskirk could be Celia’s love interest

Mary openly came out to to Kim Tate (Clare King) in 2023 revealing her lifelong secret after suppressing her true identity.

Her past involved a significant, unacknowledged romantic bond with a woman named Louise, who was her “dead friend”.

Mary had a romantic interest in her friend Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), but Suzy ultimately decided to rekindle her relationship with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) instead which led to heartbreak for Mary and a love triangle.

Mary is the other of April’s stepmother Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) so if she does spark a romance with Celia things will definitely get messy.
