<\/p>\nEmmerdale fans believe they have uncovered Gail Loman's link to a former Dales resident.<\/p>\n
Viewers have been wary of Gail, played by Rachael Gill-Davis, since she first arrived in the village back in May, after briefly appearing as Ryan Stocks' (James Moore) love interest back in 2019.<\/p>\n
Gail now works behind the bar in the Woolpack and it seems a romance is blossoming between her and Ryan once again.<\/p>\n

In upcoming scenes, Gail and Ryan enjoy a romantic meal together before the barmaid leaves to take a phone call.<\/p>\n

Later, Gail meets a woman named Sophie who shares some news about Oscar, a person unknown to fans.<\/p>\n
But while it seems Gail's past is about to be exposed, that hasn't stopped fans from speculating that she has a link to former resident Zoe Tate.<\/p>\n
They suggested Gail could actually be Jean, the daughter of Zoe (Leah Bracknell), who was last seen in 2005 after leaving the village for a new life in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

One fan wrote: "I think she\u2019s Zoe Tate\u2019s daughter\u2026I could be wrong but she\u2019s about the right age and the history between Charity and Zoe could be a reason for her to rock up in the village."<\/p>\n
While a second agreed: "I have a funny feeling it's Zoe Tate's Daughter maybe her real name is not Gail it's probably Jean Tate."<\/p>\n
But Zoe isn't the first familiar face fans believed could be linked to Gail.<\/p>\n

Back in July, fans began to suspect Gail was related to con artist Faye Helders (Jane Gurnett), who threatened to send a naked photo of ex-girlfriend Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) if she didn't hand over cash.<\/p>\n
While Faye was arrested for her crimes, the photo was still sent to Mary's contact, leading fans to believe she had help. <\/p>\n
Sharing their theories at the time, one said: "Soooo I think the girl working behind the bar is Faye's daughter."<\/p>\n
Another fan replied: "Yes!!!! That what I thought. She defo has something to do with her," as a third agreed: "I do too. Very dodgy."<\/p>\n
