"Emmerdale’s mighty Tate dynasty is coming to an end. Zoe Tate – the lesbian vet, whose sexual conquests include every straight, gay and bi-curious female from Hebden Bridge to High Barnet – is leaving the village for good. Actress Leah Bracknell was expected to take a year-long break from the soap while her character tried to carve out a new life in California, but now the 40-year-old star has decided she won’t return."
