It Is with sad news and regret that I report the Death of UK Soap Actress Leah Bracknell who from 1989-2006 played the role of Animal Vet Zoe Tate one Britian's Second Longest Running Soap Opera Emmerdale Farm now known as Emmerdale.
Her Family became the "First" Powerful Family having multiple marriages and Zoe made History by being one of the first Lesbian Characters on a UK Soap. She along with Anna Friel (Beth Brookside) another UK Soap that is no longer on the air did one of the first Same Sex Kisses, she also got "Committed" in a Blessing to her longtime Girlfriend Emma Nightingale and in the 1990's she got a lot of Fan Mail from Folks who looked at her as their only source of a Role Model. She bravely battled Cancer these past three years but sadly enough lost the Battle.
Hopefully they can do a tribute to her on Emmerdale with the permission of her Family the way they did tributes to Jeanne Cooper & Kristoff St. John (The Young & The Restless).
