Christmas romance on the cards?
But spoilers for episodes to air on New Year's Eve hint that there could be hope of a reunion between them at last.
As everyone else makes their plans to see in the New Year, Rhona asks Marlon to spend the evening with her.
He happily accepts her invitation, and Rhona is clearly thrilled at the idea of seeing in 2021 together.
After celebrating at Rhona's house, there is a moment of attraction between the pair and it seems there could be romance on the cards.
Reunited for 2021?
Speaking to Inside Soap, Zoe Henry hinted earlier this year that Rhona's love life could be looking up...
"She could rekindle things with Marlon, which would be amazing for Leo, and for April, as Rhona is the closest she has to a mother.
"Professionally I have loved working with all the actors who have played Rhona's love interests, so I really couldn't pick a favourite.
"I've been very lucky!"
Will Rhona and Marlon reunite and make next year one they will both remember for all the right reasons?
