Now she has waved goodbye to soapland, Rachael has been busy in the world of theatre, rehearsing for a play called Saint Joan, by George Bernard Shaw.
Rachael will play Joan of Arc, with the production running between August 16-23 in Cheltenham and Malvern.
Gail Loman left the Emmerdale village to start a new job in Devon with her mate. Prior to her departure, Gail came to realise that she wanted more from her life than just helping out at the local boozer.
She attempted to impress people by organising a Mr and Mrs quiz, but that ended badly when she took part in a round with partner Ryan Stocks (James Moore).
