Leah Bracknell, formerly Zoe Tate, has been diagnosed with terminal Lung Cancer.
Her husband has started a fund raising page on "Go Fund Me" to try and raise 50k for potentially life saving surgery in Germany.

Zoe was one of the great Emmerdale characters, I always thought she would return at some point. I li hope the treatment is successful.

ITV could dig down the back of the corporate sofa and donate that if they gave a damn.The woman gave 16 years to the show and is arguably a legacy character.

Very disappointed to hear that the £50k has been raised from ordinary hardworking people seemingly without any support from ex cast members or the TV station itself.

Fair play, the Emmerdale cast do a lot for charity...especially the younger ones. And I`m sure the older cast donate to a lot of different causes too. The last charity event I saw was a football match, and Emmerdale kicked Corrie`s ar$e as I recall. Leigh was a wonderful cast member, and I applaud everyone who donated....the general public and the cast members. I hope her cancer treatment will be successful.

One or two cast members have retweeted her funding page but when I was looking at the page itself I couldn't see their names. Happy to be corrected though.

I chipped a few bucks out of my PP account in to that a couple of Fridays ago. Mind you I'd been on the sauce.
Always liked Zoe though, and the girl who played her.

I caught the last few minutes of her interview on Loose Women the other day and she seems to have adopted the right attitude, it's sad but she is determined to enjoy what life she has left.

Didn't see it. Do I take it the treatment has failed? Very sad if so.

Can you please give a brief account of her interview Aaron as I didn`t watch it. How is Leah doing? Thanks luv ♥ I only saw a bit myself Wendy, she thanked those who had contributed to her treatment, that fund raising site had raised the money required within three days. I didn't hear whether she had been or yet to go, but it very much appeared to me that she has pretty much accepted that she is dying and that she must make the most of her time left. For a woman in that position she looked remarkably good if a damned site older, but then again it is a considerable tine since she left Emmerdale so she would, but to me it sort of shows on her face without her looking ill, or depressed. Hard to explain really. She was on with the one that plays Fiz in Corrie and Nadia Sawalha who has been in EE so Emmerdale and the schedule was also spoken about. It was mainly chit-chat and the girls remarking how brave and wonderful she is.
