Tess (Nicola Stevenson) was having an affair with Rhona's husband Paddy (Dominic Brunt), something that Rhona will discover in emotional scenes set to air next week.
Speaking to press including Express.co.uk, Zoe indicated that her character will become reflective as she copes with the revelation - leading to some emotional moments with her old flame, played by Mark Charnock.
"What we're still filming now is a rollercoaster of emotions," she said. "[Rhona's] shocked, she's angry… through that journey, she looks back at the crossroads in her life and thinks, 'if I hadn't have left Marlon, this would never have hurt me in the way that it has'.
"So she questions that and I think it freaks Marlon out for a bit."

It also seems that the exes could even lock lips - although it might just prove to be a big misunderstanding.
"She does [go to kiss him] - depending how you look at it," Zoe, 42, explained. "She becomes very close. She says some very lovely things and emotional things to him and he thinks that's what's going to happen.
"But they are close anyway, they have a son together. He's just a support to her."
Next week fans will see Paddy's affair with the late Tess exposed when Rhona asks him outright if he's the "married man" the teaching assistant has spoken of seeing.

But rather than split up, she insists that they stay together so that their chances of adopting a child are not affected.
"It's been tough," Dominic admitted. "I'm used to playing lighter stories, or being involved in heavier stuff like when Aaron came out.
"So it was lovely to be trusted with this."

He added: "I'm kind of used to being liked as well! So now I'm being the baddie."
Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.
