Gail Loman hides huge secret from Ryan Stocks in Emmerdale

EMMERDALE fans have suspected Gail Loman of being up to something fishy since she arrived back in the village - and it turns out they were right to.

Gail, who is played by Rachael Gill-Davis, has recently come back to the Dales after going missing from the programme for several years.

And in an official sneak preview into events unfolding in the village over the next week, the ITV show has revealed that Gail is hiding a secret from her boyfriend Ryan Stocks.

When the pair go out for a romantic meal, Gail ends up sneaking off to take a secret phone call.

She meets a disturbed woman called Sophie in the town Allotment, and is shaken to hear there is bad news about someone called Oscar.

While Oscar's identity is still unknown, fans do have their suspicions that Gail is actually the long lost daughter of Zoe Tate.

Zoe and her little girl Jean disappeared from the soap when they escaped to New Zealand after a fallout with another villager.

They were never seen again - but some viewers think that Gail is Jean hiding behind an alias.

The latest spoilers could be a hint in that direction, as a character called Sophie previously starred on the show and had connections to the Tate family.

Sophie Wright had a romantic relationship with Zoe Tate and was also a nanny to her little brother James.
