Amy Walsh expected to return to Emmerdale with sensational new love interest

An Emmerdale favourite is expected to return to the ITV soap with a sensational new love interest.

As Emmerdale fans know, Tracy Metcalfe recently left the ITV soap. This is because of acting star Amy Walsh’s pregnancy. The character’s Emmerdale exit saw Tracy exit the village for a new job in Nottingham. This was after Tracy discovered her boyfriend Nate Robinson had slept with Fiona Murphy.

As Emmerdale fans likely know, Amy Walsh’s real-life partner is former EastEnders star Toby-Alexander Smith. The Express is now suggesting the acting couple could also embark on a soap relationship when Amy returns from her maternity leave.

There have been reports, Toby-Alexander, who played EastEnders villain Gray Atkins, could be set to join the rival soap. Head of Digital PR at Embryo digital marketing agency, Jo Threlfall, explained there is a good chance the actor could soon be in Emmerdale.

"Toby Alexander-Smith's career has grown massively since his debut on EastEnders. And since his dramatic departure from the soap, it has opened a window for the actor to be able to explore other options in his acting career."

It is rumoured Toby-Alexander Smith could pocket £500,000 a year should he join Emmerdale. We’ll keep you posted on what the future holds for Toby-Alexander and bring you more on Amy’s return when we know more.
