Emmerdale icon pays tribute to co-star amid ITV show exit

Amy Walsh, who has played the role of Tracy Shankley on the ITV soap opera for 11 years, has seen a number of actors come and go during her time on set, but none hit harder than this one.
Her on-screen husband, Nate (played by Jurell Carter), previously announced that he had taken a job in Shetland and left the village in September of 2024.
However, fans were left with many unanswered questions about the way he vanished.
After his exit, we learned that John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) had killed him and then disposed of his body in a lake.
According to The Metro, the ITV episode featured flashback scenes and established that the character of John lives with a hero complex, orchestrating terrible situations and then stepping in to fix them.
This ended badly for Nate when John gave him some medication after an altercation with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).
He reacted badly to the medicine and promptly died. His funeral took place this week and caused a great deal of upset and grief.

Taking to Instagram to reflect on the departure, Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh said: "'A big man with a big heart' - says it all.
"Can't believe this is the end for Nate and Tracy, properly this time. It was a pleasure to share the screen with you @jurellcarter. You're missed by us all. Gone but never forgotten."
Taking to the comments, Jurell replied: "Ahhh Amyyyy, you little softie. I miss you."
Born on March 27, 1987, in Bradford, Amy Walsh is an English actress who has starred in a number of programmes and other forms of media over the years, according to IMDb.
She has played the role of Tracy Metcalfe (Tracy Shankley) since 2014 and has even starred in other popular soap operas like Hollyoaks on Channel 4.
Here, she played the role of Jennifique McQueen for one episode in 2011.
She has been involved in the podcast series Violet's Shadow and played the role of Jess in a short film called Finding Calm.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood stars admit pressure on joining iconic series

Outlander: Blood of My Blood star Hermione Corfield has opened up about signing on to the franchise The cast of the Outlander prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, has shared their feelings about joining the acclaimed Starz historical saga, which has recently revealed its opening credits and confirmed a widely speculated theory, reports the Express. ‌ In a recent interview, Hermione Corfield, who steps into the role of Julia Moriston, mother to Outlander's spirited protagonist Claire Fraser (portrayed by Caitríona Balfe), opened up about her experience. ‌ "There's always a pressure when something has such a huge fan base and a whole world," said the 31 year old English actress, acknowledging the weight of expectation that comes with such a beloved series. ‌ Despite feeling some nerves, Corfield, known for her roles in We Hunt Together and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, expressed her excitement about joining a franchise as significant and cherished as Outlander. She assured fans that Blood of My Blood will "only expand" the Outlander universe, promising to "deepen the story and the legacy". Jeremy Irvine, portraying her on-screen spouse and Claire's father Henry Beauchamp, also spoke about the honour of joining the Outlander phenomenon. ‌ The 35 year old War Horse actor, in conversation with Cosmopolitan, considered himself "lucky" to be part of a series that has already elicited "strong feelings" from its audience. ‌ Their comments come as anticipation builds for the global premiere of Outlander: Blood of My Blood next month, offering fans a glimpse into the earlier timeline of the Outlander narrative. Set years before the original series, the prequel is poised to explore storylines that have been hinted at in the main show. Outlander: Blood of My Blood will chronicle the sweeping romantic sagas of Henry and Julia, alongside the separate tale of Jamie Fraser's (Sam Heughan) parents Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater). ‌ In contrast to the main series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood won't be based on any existing novels, granting the show's creators considerable artistic licence with the drama, enabling writers to flesh out the gaps in Claire's parents' history. Starz has revealed that both Henry and Julia possess time-travelling abilities and will be catapulted into the past following a devastating car accident. ‌ The preview for the upcoming drama reveals Henry and Julia torn apart in the past as they frantically attempt to find one another again. Hinting at their major plotline, Corfield acknowledged that had Henry and Julia simply experienced their WWI romance, it wouldn't have constituted a "huge journey" for the characters. ‌ The time-travelling aspect, which she noted bore similarities to Claire's Outlander adventure, enriched Henry and Julia's narrative arc significantly. Starz has also released an Instagram video, placing Claire and Julia's respective passages through the stones alongside each other to emphasise the connections between Blood of My Blood and Outlander. The clip was playfully captioned: "The rumors are true: Claire got more than her looks from Julia. #BloodOfMyBlood #Outlander." While Outlander: Blood of My Blood is yet to be released, Starz has already given the green light for its second season, with production already underway. This means fans of the Outlander universe have a lot to anticipate, including the eighth and final season of the original series.

Joanna Lumley ‘wouldn't mind' assisted dying if she got to a ‘miserable' state

The 79-year-old said she supported the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which was backed by MPs in the Commons last month, that would allow terminally ill adults with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death. Asked about the Bill in an interview with Saga Magazine, Dame Joanna said: 'People are terribly anxious about it and think one may be coerced (into voluntary euthanasia). 'But I'm saying this now when nobody's coercing me, don't let me turn into somebody who doesn't recognise the people I love most, where I'm having a miserable time. 'When I get to the stage where I can't speak and have to be fed, that won't be me any more and that's when I wouldn't mind saying farewell.' The Bill would see those wishing to go through assisted dying require approval by two doctors and a panel featuring a social worker, senior legal figure and psychiatrist. It will next come before the House of Lords for further debate and votes. One of the Bill's most high-profile backers has been TV presenter Dame Esther Rantzen, 85, who has terminal cancer, and recently urged members of the House of Lords not to block the legislation. Dame Joanna is best known for her roles as Patsy Stone in the BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, Sapphire in ITV supernatural series Sapphire And Steel, and in The New Avengers, the 1970s revamped version of 1960s ITV spy series The Avengers. She will appear in season two of Netflix supernatural series Wednesday as Grandmama in August.
