"No one is safe. I’m on a year’s contract so every year I wonder, ‘Is this my last?’,” Lucy said. “It’s the show’s 50th anniversary this year. Do they need to sacrifice someone to pull in the audience?"
Soap bosses have promised some major storylines as part of the Emmerdale milestone. There will likely be a return of some old favourites and, it is expected, some villagers will leave…or be bumped off.
Lucy, who previously starred in the film Anita and Me, would love to end her career on Emmerdale and go down as a show legend. She concluded: "My kids are settled and every time I get the scripts, there’s something that will make me laugh or cry. I’d be quite happy to retire at Emmerdale."
