Zoe Henry has responded to calls for Cain Dingle to intervene and dismantle Ray Walters and Celia Daniels’ empire in Emmerdale.
The actress first graced our screens as Rhona Goskirk in 2001, but it wasn’t until 2010 that she became a permanent fixture on the show.
A brief hiatus after 2002 saw her appear in rival soaps Coronation Street and EastEnders.
Since 2021, Rhona has been romantically involved with Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock), and the couple have been trying to manage their blended family. Recently, Rhona and Marlon have found themselves at a loss over how to support April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan).
A sinister turn of events saw April being manipulated by Ray (Joe Absolom) and Celia (Jaye Griffiths), who coerced her into running drugs and sleeping with older men to settle her debt to them.

The pair’s involvement in modern slavery was eventually exposed, but justice seems elusive as both Celia and Ray are now deceased, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It was Ray who fatally stabbed his mother, Celia, when she attempted to prevent him from starting anew with Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), with whom he had kindled a relationship.
Subsequently, Ray was also found d.e.a.d, but the identity of his k.i.l.l.e.r remains unknown. However, this mystery is set to be solved as Emmerdale prepares to broadcast a week of “whodunit” style episodes.
Each thrilling episode will feature flashbacks for each suspect – Laurel, Rhona, and Marlon, before viewers finally discover who m.u.r.d.e.r.e.d Ray and dumped his body in the back of Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) van.
When questioned about Rhona’s encounters with Ray, Zoe responded: “Well it was particularly dark when he mentioned Pierce [Harris].

“Yeah, I mean, that’s her Achilles heal anyway. Ray knew what he was doing, bringing that in. It just derails her any time his name is mentioned. This period in her life is just constant abject fear and panic.
“Having witnessed what Ray did to Dylan [Penders] on the phone when we were in the room with Celia.
“They’re just like rabbits in the headlights. There’s not, you know, a noise in the night, the door opening, you know where they’re not straight back there. They think they’re at constant risk and therefore are in absolute fear and panic constantly.”
Regarding whether she has grounds to m.u.r.d.e.r Ray, Zoe confessed: “I think she could be motivated because how long are they prepared to let this go on for? I think it’s that moment of desperation that there is no way out.
“And so, if I d.i.e or I sacrifice myself in the process of freeing my family, particularly my children, then maybe I’ll do it.

“And I think that’s what’s in Rhona’s mind. He is ruthless and relentless, and he will stop at nothing. And Rhona knows that. So she’s all in. She’s got to be otherwise, where will they be left?”.
Zoe tied the knot with Emmerdale colleague Jeff Hordley, who portrays Cain, in 2003 and during this storyline, fans have been hoping that Cain would intervene to assist Marlon and Rhona.
In response to this theory not coming to fruition, Zoe remarked: “Professionally disappointed, personally thrilled.
“I don’t want to work with Jeff and he doesn’t want to work with me, but I also think my husband is a brilliant actor.
I’m always keen to work with people that are brilliant and he is so it’s a double edged sword, I suppose.”
