Emmerdale’s Rosie Bentham is a force to be reckoned with as she has brilliantly played Gabby Thomas on the iconic ITV show since 2016.
In fact, the actress has been quite busy lately, as she not only celebrated her 22nd birthday, on 29 July, but also delivered a controversial plot twist to her Emmerdale character.
She has opened up about her time on the soap ahead of the latest spoilers, which revealed Gabby is considering leaving the village.

She has been in the centre of huge storylines since she started, and one storyline was very similar to real life as her dad, who was also a clergyman, died from a pulmonary embolism just two years after the storyline.
The soap star admitted she “will never get over the weird resemblance between real life and Emmerdale”.
Rosie told The Mirror: “”The connection is just so bizarre for me. I had two months off to let it all sink in but work was a saving grace in that it gave me something else to focus on.
While Gabby processed the news to the best of her capabilities, Caleb punched Nicky in the mouth, raging after learning that his son had jeopardised his plan to bankrupt Kim Tate (Claire King).
And in true soap opera fashion, the plot just kept on getting more complex, as it was revealed that Gabby was developing feelings for Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle).
Fans did not expect this plotwist as spoilers showed Gabby potentially exiting the show as a result of regretting making a move on Billy.
Gabby’s nan, Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen), lives in Portugal and spoilers have shown the beloved character debating a move to join Diane in the South-West European country so she can keep her distance from Billy.

Faced with the potential exit of one of their favourite characters, a person wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Gutted to see Gabby leaving for Portugal next to see Diane. Really hoping that Gabby does return back to Emmerdale and this isn’t goodbye for her.”
“I love Gabby. I hope she’s not leaving or being written out,” another fan said.

A third X user wrote: “Emmerdale spoilers have revealed Gabby Thomas could be set for a surprise exit. Could be it’s nor definite though! But if she does I hope she does come back.”
Fortunately, the actress real life seemed more joyful as Rosie posted a picture of herself honouring her birthday on Instagram.
“Happy birthday you beautiful talented woman,” fellow Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi commented.
