Emmerdale star Amy Walsh's exit storyline appears to have been confirmed by the soap and it looks like it involves a new job.
New ITV spoilers reveal that her character Tracy Metcalfe will leave Nate Robinson gutted when she considers leaving the village after he confessed to cheating on her.
Next week, relations look set to thaw between the couple as Tracy asks Nate (Jurell Carter), to babysit their daughter Frankie while she attends a PND seminar.
Sam (James Hooton), who is aware they’re not officially back together, offers Nate some sage advice on how to win Tracy back.
When Tracy later returns from her seminar, she tells Charity (Emma Atkins) she’s been offered a new job in Nottingham, but worries about the disruption it could have on her personal life.
However, with Charity’s encouragement, Tracy decides to take the plunge and go for it.
Yet, when she breaks the news of the Nottingham job to Nate, he’s obviously crestfallen, leaving Tracy torn about what to do.
Nate’s upset turns into anger at the revelation she is about to leave the village and he makes undermining comments about her ability to cope in a new city.
This prompts Tracy’s insecurity to resurface and she abandons the hopes of her new life as Nate guiltily realises he’s crushed her dream.
However, it seems Tracy will definitely flee the village one way or another as actress Amy is currently on maternity leave after welcoming her first child with EastEnders actor Toby-Alexander Smith.
They confirmed the arrival to OK!, saying: "Well…it’s been a busy week! Hope you all had a good one. HAPPY NEW YEAR from the three of us."
Amy, 34, and 31-year-old Toby also shared a sweet snap of themselves pushing a pram and looking lovingly at their newborn.
Amy, who is the sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley, said back in November that she felt like she was "made" to give birth.
She said: "I feel weirdly excited about it.
"I’m sure everyone who’s been through it reading this will laugh but it’s something I’ve always wanted to experience."
