Jeff Hordley and Zoe Henry "prefer not to work together".
The married couple – who play Cain Dingle and Rhona Goskirk on the ITV soap – love to spend time with one another off-screen, but Zoe admitted they "enjoy each other’s independence" when they get to the soap’s set.
She said: "I think we probably both prefer not to work together.
"Of course, we enjoy each other’s company, yet I think we quite enjoy each other’s independence at work.
"I don’t know how well Rhona and Cain would get on, either – although I can see why it’s a source of amusement for people if we’re in the same scenes."
But Rhona has enjoyed spending lots of quality time with Jeff during lockdown, and admitted their allotment has reaped the benefits from the ‘Emmerdale’ stars being off work.
She added to Inside Soap magazine: "It’s been a nice time for Jeff and I to be at home with our kids and do all the things that we never get time to do.
"Our allotment has never looked better, I have to say."
Zoe recently admitted she doesn’t want her ‘Emmerdale’ character going "anywhere near" her husband’s alter-ego, and likes it that they have "very different days" at work.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don’t really have scenes with him. That’s the joy of it – we never really work together.
"We work in the same building, we know the same people, we can talk about the same things, but we have very different days. And that’s how I like it.
"I don’t want those characters going anywhere near each other.
"Whatever your job is you can always go home and talk to your partner or your friends about your day.
"I think we’re fairly normal in that respect."
