Tracy prepares to leave the village

On Tuesday March 24 Vanessa caught Tracy making plans with Billy Fletcher. She instantly assumed Tracy and Billy were organising a date and was thrilled to see her sister moving on following a difficult few years.

Tracy nervously confirmed Vanessa’s theory she was going out with Billy. But then Billy let slip that he was actually just helping her move by borrowing a van from work.

Furious Vanessa confronted Tracy over her lies. She wanted to know exactly what was going on and why Tracy was leaving.

Tracy confessed she was moving to live with Cara, late-husband Nate Robinson’s mum. She was setting up a new business and had a job and a place to live for Tracy.

Will Tracy be back?

Amy hasn’t made any comment on whether or not she will return to Emmerdale after having her baby.

In scenes aired last night Vanessa asked whether she was going for good and Tracy replied she didn’t know.

When Amy had her first child she left the soap for a year before returning. It seems likely she will do the same again this time.

On Monday March 23 Amy announced she had welcomed her second child into the world. She shared a picture of a tiny pair of legs to reveal the new arrival.

Although she has not given a name the star has had another girl and the tot was wearing a rose-printed baby grow.

Amy, who is married to ex-EastEnders star Toby-Alexander Smith, already has a daughter. They are parents to Bonnie, who was born in 2022.

The following summer, the couple got engaged during a romantic trip to Ibiza. Amy and Toby said “I do” and got married in a star-studded ceremony in Montenegro soon after.

The couple, who met in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, announced they were expecting their second child together last September.
