And in recent months, viewers have watched Rhona deal with her partner, the much-loved Marlon Dingle, suffering a stroke and his subsequent recovery. But the bright spot in it all is the on again-off again wedding which will take place in Thursday night's episode (August 11).
Asked what it was like to film the emotional scenes, Zoe told Ranvir Singh as she appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday: "Really lovely, really emotional. Caroline Mitchell was the writer of the episode and she's just brilliant, she knows those characters well and she writes beautifully."

She then added: "And also rather selfishly as actors, it was wonderful to have so many people on set. Because of the Covid restrictions we had been limited to around 10 people, so everyone was really giddy to be back."
She then told host Ranvir, who is standing in for Lorraine Kelly during her summer break, of her past as a carer meaning some of the equipment they have been working with on-set to accurately portray Marlon's road to recovery has been of familiar territory.
The 48-year-old soap star said: "I was a carer for a long time so I have a little experience of wheelchairs and hoists. It is a really important story and an important one to tell."
