EMMERDALE viewers have been left stunned after discovering Zoe Henry had a surprising past in another ITV soap before her time as Rhona Goskirk.
Before making her debut in the Dales in 2001, Zoe appeared in several other well-known TV shows, including Casualty and A Touch of Frost.

However, some fans fans are only just learning about Zoe’s stint on Coronation Street.
Zoe first showed up on the cobbles in 1998 as Log Thwaite, Spider Nugent’s vegan girlfriend.
Despite just appearing in six episodes, Log made quite the impression, especially when Toyah Battersby tricked her into eating a bacon sandwich.
This ultimately led to Spider breaking up with her.
Fans were quick to share their surprise online, with one viewer admitting: “I had to Google it and it is her!”
Another added: “I did not recognise her.”
“I didn’t know that was Rhona, she was young there,” a third shared.
Zoe reflected on the role during a recent interview with Metro, saying: “It was my first job out of drama school, and I was absolutely thrilled.
“Log was an ex-girlfriend of Spider who turned up out of the blue, but Toyah drove them apart. Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah, is always very sweet when I see her now.”
But that wasn’t the last time Zoe popped up on Coronation Street.
In 2007 she returned as Casey Carswell, who became friends with Claire Peacock before having an affair with Claire’s husband, Ashley.
Meanwhile on Emmerdale, Zoe’s character is currently involved in a dramatic storyline.
Rhona’s stepdaughter April Windsor suddenly went missing on Christmas Day.
After her family was left fearing that she was dead for weeks, police discovered CCTV footage of her in Leeds.
It is still unclear what happened to the girl, and viewers are worried her mysterious disappearance may be the result of a kidnapping.
