Emmerdale fans, get ready for a bombshell revelation straight from the Dales! Amy Walsh, who brilliantly portrays Tracy Robinson, has just revealed the terrifying truth: she feared her character was being AXED from the show after Tracy’s shocking theft storyline! You won’t believe how close Tracy came to a prison exit, and what this means for her future in the village!

Amy Walsh’s Near-Tearful Confession: Was This Tracy’s Last Scene?

Earlier this year, Tracy Robinson stunned viewers by stealing cash from her supervisor, Eric Pollard’s shop, during her shifts. The emotional turmoil this caused for Tracy, grappling with financial difficulties, was palpable. But what viewers didn’t know was the personal fear Amy Walsh herself endured behind the scenes.

In a candid and emotional chat on ITV’s “Off Script” podcast, Amy Walsh confessed that she genuinely believed this storyline was leading to Tracy’s permanent exit from Emmerdale. “So, I got called up for a meeting about a new storyline with the producer, Sophie Row,” Walsh recounted. After Row explained the specifics of the theft plot, Amy’s mind immediately went to the worst-case scenario. “I was like, ‘Okay, and then I go to prison, and is that my exit?’ I thought.”

Amy even had to ask the producer directly if her character was leaving the soap. Walsh admitted she was on the verge of tears, saying, “I almost cried!” at the thought of Tracy being written off.

Thankfully, Sophie Row reassured her: “You’re not going!”

Despite the relief, Amy confessed that filming those intense scenes where Eric discovers the stolen money was incredibly challenging. “It was a struggle sometimes the scenes,” she admitted, revealing she was “balling” during rehearsals with Chris Chidell, who plays Eric, and needed to hug him at the end of each day. This candid insight highlights the deep emotional toll the storyline took on both actors.

This confession confirms that Tracy’s storyline was far more precarious than fans ever knew. It was a close call, but ultimately, Amy Walsh is here to stay, and she feels “really lucky to get to be still doing scenes with him, and I didn’t go to prison, so I’ve still got a job.” This means Tracy’s journey of redemption, or perhaps further struggles, is far from over!
