Emmerdale’s Rachael Gill-Davis, who fans will recognise as Gail Loman from the popular ITV soap, is reportedly saying goodbye to the Dales. Rachael first graced our screens in 2019, playing a brief guest role as Ryan Stock’s love interest. She then made a surprise return in 2023 for a more substantial stint in the fictional village. However, after two years, it appears her journey in Emmerdale is drawing to a close. Reports suggest that Rachael will be exiting the soap six years after her debut. It seems the decision was mutual, with showrunners feeling that Gail’s storyline had reached its natural conclusion.

“Rachael has loved her time on the show, but it’s time to go. Bosses felt the character wasn’t inspiring much story, and so it was all very amicable,” an insider revealed to The Sun. While it’s a definite farewell for now, the door remains open for a potential return. “The door has been left open, but it’s a definite goodbye for now. Rachael is looking forward to spreading her wings and showing off her talents on other shows.” As we prepare to bid adieu to Rachael on Emmerdale, let’s take a peek into her life away from the cameras, which is quite different from her on-screen persona.

Rachael’s personal life When she’s not lighting up our screens, Rachael enjoys sharing snippets of her personal life with her social media followers. Last year, she attended the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool with friends. In May, she jetted off to sunny Cyprus to celebrate her sister’s wedding in style. Her love for performing was ignited at a young age. Her fondness for soaps, in particular, stemmed from her nightly ritual of watching them with her mum, Dawn. Rachael embarked on her acting journey at the tender age of eight, honing her craft at the Emily Laws School of Acting and attending King Edward and Queen Mary School for her formal education.

A surprise stint on a rival soap What many fans might not know about Rachael is that she had a brief stint on Emmerdale’s rival ITV soap, Coronation Street. In 2022, the starlet took on the role of a receptionist in a single episode, marking her only other TV credit to date. It’s understood that the Lytham St Anne’s-born actress has a lifelong passion for all things soap-related. Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays
