[edit] Character history
Zoe was a former girlfriend of Joe Spencer, the two dated in high school before Joe dumped her. Zoe 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 Zoe he regretted dumping Zoe in high school.
[edit] Dog In The Pond Fire
Zoe, Kris, Joe and Olivia were present in The Dog when Sam Owen set it on fire. After Joe led Kris Fisher and Zoe out through the basement, he decided to go back and search for Olivia Johnson who had been pinned down by a beam, which Zoe disagreed with because she thought Olivia got out with the others and she didn't want Joe to die. Joe said he wasn't going to lose her again. These would be his last words to Zoe, as he died trying to save Olivia. Zoe and Kris tried to phone Joe, and followed his ringtone to a group of bodybags, leaving Zoe distraught.
[edit] Stalked
Zoe is 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.
Zoe 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 City 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, Will then violently trapped Zoe's hand in the taxi door and broke it, meaning she couldn't go to America as Zoe was rushed to hospital and missed her flight to New York.
[edit] Will drugs Zoe
Things could only get worse for Zoe. Will got even more controlling and decided to look for houses. He tried to push her into agreeing, but she told him he was being a prat. They later made up again but Will dumped her. Zoe decided to get cosy with Zak in her room, and Will got jealous as he was watching on the secret webcam. Will then spiked Zoe's drink with the tablets she was given to take the pain away from her broken hand. Will then put the pill tub in Zoe's hand when she was sleeping and scattered the pills around her bed and her room so it would look to the other students that Zoe had tried to commit suicide by having an overdose. Zoe went into a coma whilst she was sleeping and was taken to hospital in the morning when Zak found her comatose in her bed. But when she came home, Kris said she was "wanting attention", and Will was sympathetic with Zoe.
Zak soon suspected something was up when he walked in Will's room when he had the webcam up on his laptop, emerging a picture of Zoe. Zak rushed straight to Zoe, and they both agreed to steal Will's laptop. Zoe set the fire alarm off, got the laptop, only for it to get stolen by Sonny Valentine and Michaela McQueen because Michaela wanted the bag for her birthday. They then sold it onto Gilly, who gave it to Kris. Zak & Kris found the webcam files of Zoe and then started worrying for Zoe's safety.
[edit] A rooftop showdown
Zoe was due to go to stay with her parents for a week or so, but she forgot her train tickets. As she want back for them, she walked into Will's room and saw him watching a webcam video of her crying on a television. She gasped, he locked her in his room, and when Zoe tried to escape she punched Will and in return Will violently twisted Zoe's broken hand. When Zak and Kris came back to find Zoe, Will gagged Zoe in the bathroom behind the door so Kris and Zak could not see her or hear her. When Kris and Zak went Will dragged Zoe in the living room and shoved her on the floor. Zoe demanded to know why Will spied on her but Will started throwing things around the room and told Zoe he loved her. Will then violently dragged Zoe up the stairs and onto the college roof, where Will left Zoe dangling off the edge. Zak saw and rushed up. Zak called the police and there was a flashback of when Will trapped Zoe's hand in the taxi door and when Will drugged Zoe. Will told Zoe he loved her and eventually let her go. Will was then arrested. Zoe has been left traumatised by Will's actions, only for her feelings to be truly shattered when flatmate Zak tried to kiss her. She then left to stay for her parents. When asked when she'll be back, she replied, 'The way I am feeling right now.. never.'
[edit] Return and relationship with Darren
Zoe returned in late May 2007 only for her dad to turn up, giving Zak a lecture. Zak tried to persuade Zoe's Dad to let her stay, and he agreed.
Zoe has recently made friends with Darren Osborne, and appears to have a crush on him. After flirting with each other, Darren admitted to Jake that he likes Zoe, but Zak likes her more. After Zak finds out he's missed his chance, Darren is finding it hard to keep away from Zoe. He has recently been malipulating her, basically calling her a slut by putting Barbie Girl by Aqua on the radio in the Dog while she was present, branding her annoying and chatting up other girls in front of her, making Zoe jealous.
Darren then said to Zak that Zoe had no chance with him, but Zak later set them up on a date after Zoe admitted her true feelings. Darren and Zoe went on a date and they are now a couple.
[edit] Conflict with Jess
At the freshers ball, Zoe wore a gorgeous dress. Jess however was jealous as she had to make her own dress, due to not having any money. As Jess was talking to Zak she walked backwards into Darren, leading Darren to spill a bit of his drink on Zoes dress. Later Jess was going to sponge Zoe's dress but as she went to do it Jess accidentally ripped Zoes dress, which led Zoe to throw a glass of champagne over Jess. Jess reacted by punching Zoe and then the girls had a full blown fight on the dancefloor.
The following day Kris locked Zoe and Jess in a room together until they made up. This did not work, so he showed them a video of the girls fighting that Zak recorded. They admitted it was childish behaviour and made up, and the girls are now back to being friends.
[edit] Carbon Monoxide leak
At a housewarming party for John Paul, the faulty boiler leaked carbon monoxide into the dorm. Before everyone fell unconscious, Zoe decided to stay at Darren's place as it seemed that the party had just become boring. Both Zoe and Darren rushed back to the halls when they heard the news.
[edit] Daisy
When Frankie fostered a seven year old child called Daisy, Zoe got on well with her and was angry when Darren was being so selfish about it and got Daisy thrown out, and ended her relationship with Darren. The next day the pair got back together when Darren agreed to Frankie fostering.
[edit] End of the relationship with Darren
Zoe recently found out that Darren had slept with her best mate Jessica Harris. She found out because Kris and Jess were talking in the radio studio and he accidentally pressed the on air button on so everyone could hear including Zoe. Darren tried to plead with Zoe to get back together with him, but it was too late, she wrote on Jess's bedroom door the word Tramp.
The day after, Sarah was in Washed up and Zoe came in with a bag of clothes. Zoe got upset, which resulted in Sarah asking Zoe to come back to her house. When Mike came home and found out out that Zoe is using Amy's room, he was very angry. Kathy told Zoe the only way Zoe was going to feel better about herself was to get revenge on Jess. Zoe, Sarah and Kathy went round Jess's bedroom at HCC halls and foamed Jess's bed then stole all of her clothes. Zoe then threw all of Jess's clothes around the village. When Zoe agrees to accompany Darren to counselling, they hold hands but Zoe meaning it as just being friendly. After the counselling, Darren ends up trying to kiss Zoe but she rebuffs him before he accuses her of playing mind games.
[edit] Mike Barnes
When Zoe moved into the Barnes home, she became friendly with Mike, even sharing the anniversary meal he had prepared for himself and a failed-to-show-up Kathy. Kathy began to suspect an affair, and threw all her clothes out into the street. This was the last straw for Mike and he asked Kathy to move out. Soon after her departure, Zoe confessed that she had had a dream about Mike, not realising he had the same feelings for her. Mike then kissed her, following which they were seen together in her bed.
When Zoe moved back out of the home, Mike decided to try and get her back at the SU Bar. Zoe agreed to go around to his place, where they continued their developing relationship.
On the 27 February Ste revealed Mike and Zoe's relationship to Sarah and Amy at Leah's first birthday party.
