They may have been married for over 20 years, but Emmerdale stars Jeff Hordley and Zoe Henry haven’t shared the screen too often. That’s set to change, however, as an “emotional” scene involving the pair has been filmed.<\/p>\n

The couple, who portray Cain Dingle and Rhona Goskirk respectively, tied the knot in 2003 and have two children together, but haven’t appeared opposite each other a lot on the ITV soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following Rhona’s marriage to Marlon, Cain’s cousin, the fan-favourite character has become a bit more involved with the Dingles in recent years, though it’s often in a capacity where the large clan gather.<\/p>\n

That will change, though, as Hordley has confirmed that Cain and Rhona will be involved in a two-hander very soon, with the actor paying tribute to his wife for her performance in the scenes.<\/p>\n

“We did a scene the other day,” he told OK! Magazine (via Metro<\/a>). “We’ve been in this show for a long time, and we’ve always been in scenes together in the Woolpack, but we did our first two-hander the other day!”<\/p>\n

“She was upstaging me. She was doing a lot of really good acting,” noted the actor, who debuted as Cain in 2000. Furthermore, he teased that the scenes were “really emotional”, but didn’t give specifics regarding the storyline.<\/p>\n

While it remains to be seen how Cain and Rhona’s scenes will play out, Hordley recently recalled how he met Henry, and explained how their shared personal interests gave them “strength” in their relationship. <\/p>\n

“We met years ago at a party, and she said that she liked my shoes,” he exclusively told Digital Spy<\/a>. “We have an allotment together, and we work together on that. When you’re working as a team, doing things like that, it gives you good strength.”<\/p>\n

He also shared that his dream role away from the Dales was on popular period comedy-drama Rivals, noting: “I would happily do something like that. It seems like the actors are having a really good time, and that’s what draws me to it.” <\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
