[edit] Character history

Zoë was a former girlfriend of Joe Spencer, the two dated in high school before Joe dumped her because of her weight. Zoë ended up going to HCC with Joe, and coincidentally, was one of the freshers taking Joe, Olivia and Jessica's dorm. After trying and failing to stop the new freshers from kicking them out of their rooms, Joe told Zoë he regretted dumping Zoë in high school.

Zoë, Kris, Joe and Olivia were present in The Dog when Sam Owen set it on fire. After Joe led Kris Fisher and Zoë out through the basement, he decided to go back and search for Olivia Johnson, which Zoë disagreed with because she didn't want Joe to die. Joe said he wasn't going to lose her again. These would be his last words to Zoë, as he died trying to save Olivia. Zoë and Kris tried to phone Joe, and followed his ringtone to a group of bodybags, leaving Zoë distraught.

Zoë has lost weight since first dating Joe and is now an attractive confident girl, although is in some respects a 'tomboy'. She rejected an attempted kiss from Will Hackett, as she had not yet recovered from the death of Joe, to whom she found herself attracted again despite their colourful past. In an effort to regain her confidence with Joe no longer around to help, she has become a bit of an exhibitionist; first posing nude for Foz's art class (and being attacked by his jealous girlfriend Nancy Hayton for the privilege) and then experimenting with private nudity with cross-dressing flatmate Kris, who is one of the few people she now trusts since her room was broken into and bugged by her obsessive live-in 'stalker' Will.

Zoë had a brief relationship with Zak Ramsey; at first, a one night stand, before they confessed their feelings to each other. The relationship was sabotaged by Will, to whom she has inevitably become close but her 'activities' with Kris continue to make Will obsessively jealous. She was recently going to depart to New York for a year but when Will was seeing her off, he sabotaged her plans to go by stealing her passport, and when that failed as Zak suspected Will was up to something, he then trapped her hand in the taxi door and broke it, meaning she couldn't go to America.
