'Emmerdale' star rules out Cain, Rhona plot

Jeff Hordley has predicted that he will never share an Emmerdale storyline with his wife and co-star Zoe Henry.

The actor, who plays bad boy Cain Dingle on the ITV1 soap, has been married to Henry (Rhona Goskirk) since 2003 and they have two children together. They first met in the early '90s.

However, the pair's real-life partnership has never been replicated on screen, where Cain and Rhona have nothing to do with each other.

Speaking about his relationship in an interview with Soaplife, Hordley commented: "We met at drama school in 1994. I saw Zoe and realised she was the girl for me."

Asked about the challenge of juggling work with family life, he continued: "We don't film at the same time so we can share the childcare. I don't think we'll ever have a storyline together - Cain and Rhona are too different. Cain thinks Rhona's a bit of a snobby cow. For me and Zoe, it works well."

Hordley also praised his current Emmerdale plotline, which has seen Cain split from partner Charity in acrimonious circumstances.

He said: "I'm loving [Emmerdale] - especially now that Cain and Charity have split up and I can really get my teeth into sparring with Emma Atkins, who plays Charity."
