Rhona Goskirk is a fictional character from the British soap opera Emmerdale, played by Zoe Henry. She made her first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 17 September 2001. The character was introduced by series producer Steve Frost and appeared initially in 2001 and 2002. She returned to Emmerdale as a full-time character in March 2010, reintroduced by series producer Gavin Blyth. She has been through storylines including giving birth to Leo Goskirk, who has Down's Syndrome, marrying Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), becoming addicted to painkillers, discovering Paddy's affair with her friend Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson) after the latter's death, pursuing a manipulative relationship with Tess's widower Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather), and almost dying in the soap's biggest stunt known as "No Return Week".
Henry joined the cast of Emmerdale as Rhona in 2001 for an initial seven episodes. The actress returned in 2002 for another brief stint, departing in December. On 13 February 2010, Kris Green of Digital Spy reported Henry had reprised her role and Rhona would be returning to Emmerdale later in the year.
Rhona first appeared in the village in September 2001 as a locum, helping Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and covering for Zoe (Leah Bracknell), whilst she was on holiday. She and Marlon (Mark Charnock) began dating as his ex-girlfriend, Tricia (Sheree Murphy), had left him and the village. However, Tricia returned and Rhona left not long after. Rhona returned in June 2002 to cover for Zoe as she was incapable of work, due to mental illness. She and Marlon soon resumed their relationship and realized they had several shared interests, including Laurel and Hardy films and design. When Tricia found out, she was very upset but Rhona left again in December.
