Amy Walsh finds acting emotional scenes "exhausting".
The ‘Emmerdale’ star – who plays Tracy Metcalfe on the ITV soap – admits it takes a toll on her body when she particularly has heartbreaking scenes and she is hoping for "a bit of relief" for her character in the coming months.
She said: "I’m hoping for a bit of a relief for Tracy. She’s been through it. On screen you’ll see she’s still looking to find the person responsible for her dads death, hopefully she’ll find that out. That’s still a quest on screen … We did just take a holiday because I’ve been so busy for months. It was a lot of work, but a storyline that I loved. We had Tracy’s dad dying and stuff, it was a lot to deal with …
"It does have an affect on your body because you’re crying all day and screaming and it’s exhausting. Your body doesn’t know any different, it thinks it’s real, so. Sometimes I think, ‘God no wonder I’m tired I’ve been through all that in one week.’ You have to look after yourself you really do. It sounds a bit cliche but I’ve realised it’s important to rest when you can and clear your mind from it all."
And Amy is hoping her character will find love again soon.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, she added: "Future wise, I’m hoping for like a romance or something. I just want her to be smiling again. No to be honest, they need to bring in some fresh blood [for Tracy to date]."
