Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh has had her say on a fan theory, after her character Tracy Metcalfe appeared to grow closer to Cain Dingle.
Cain is the father of Tracy's partner Nate Robinson, with the pair set to welcome their baby daughter in upcoming scenes.
But just months ago, scenes showed Tracy confiding in Cain about her pregnancy woes - and her fears about Nate letting her down.
The pair bonded, and viewers thought they saw a spark between the two characters.
Many began to predict a revenge twist was on the horizon, and that Cain might be getting closer to Tracy to get back at Nate.
Nate and Cain are finally on good terms, after he slept with his dad's wife Moira Dingle in 2019.
He did it as revenge for Cain abandoning him as a baby, unaware that his dad didn't even know he existed until he turned up in the village.
But while it doesn't seem Tracy and Cain will go there, actress Amy confessed there was a point that she and co-star Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, did question if that was where the writers were going.
Speaking to The Mirror and other press, she had her say on the idea though, appearing to be against the theorised twist.
She said: "That’s a funny question to answer when you work with Cain’s wife in real life – 'yes, I'd love to have an affair with Jeff!'
"No, I wouldn’t. It’s very interesting, I love working with Jeff and I love the dynamic of those two characters.
"I did think with those scenes, I don't know about a spark but I do think they worked and I loved them when I read them, I thought they wrote really well for the two characters."
She went on: "I’d like to see more of them together because I do think it works.
"We did joke, we wondered at one point when they were writing a couple of scenes, are they going to do what Nate did to Cain?
"As in, is Cain going to have an affair with Nate's partner now, but as this storyline’s progressed, we’re obviously glad they didn’t do that."
Amy added: "I think it’s important to keep the relationships happy between not only Cain and Nate but also Nate and Tracy.
"But who knows, she’d probably like a bad boy like Cain, knowing Tracy, she doesn’t know what’s good for her, we’ll see."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
