Tracy prepares to leave the village
Earlier this week, Vanessa was left stunned when she caught Tracy making plans with Billy Fletcher. Jumping to conclusions, she assumed her sister had arranged a date and was pleased to see her moving on after everything she has been through.
Tracy nervously went along with it, confirming Vanessa’s theory. But the truth soon came out when Billy revealed he was only helping her move by borrowing a van.
Vanessa was furious at being misled and demanded answers. Under pressure, Tracy finally admitted she was planning to leave the village altogether.
She revealed she would be moving in with Cara, the mother of her late husband Nate Robinson. Cara has offered Tracy a fresh start, complete with a job, a home and the chance to build a new business.
Tracy’s Emmerdale exit date confirmed
Viewers won’t have long to wait for Tracy’s departure, as her exit is set to air on Sunday March 29 during a special episode.
The unusual Sunday slot comes as the soap schedule shifts once again, but it will give fans a chance to see Tracy’s final moments in the village.
In emotional scenes, Tracy prepares to leave with Frankie, while Vanessa gets ready to say goodbye. However, there is one person they are all waiting for.
Tracy is hoping Cain will make it in time to see Frankie off. But with everything currently going on in his life, there is real doubt over whether he will get there before it is too late.
Will Tracy be back?
As things stand, Amy Walsh has not confirmed whether she will return to Emmerdale following her maternity leave.
In recent scenes, Vanessa asked Tracy outright if she was leaving for good, but Tracy admitted she simply didn’t know what the future holds.
When Amy welcomed her first child, she took around a year away from the soap before returning. It suggests there is every chance Tracy could be back again in the future.
Amy Walsh gives birth ahead of Emmerdale exit
Away from the show, Amy shared her happy news on Monday March 23, confirming she had given birth to her second child.
Posting a sweet image showing a tiny pair of legs, she revealed she has welcomed another baby girl, dressed in a rose-printed baby grow.
Amy, who is married to former EastEnders star Toby-Alexander Smith, is already mum to daughter Bonnie, born in 2022.
The couple met in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, later getting engaged during a trip to Ibiza before tying the knot in Montenegro. They announced they were expecting their second child together last September.
As Tracy prepares to leave the village behind, the big question now is whether this really is goodbye or simply the start of another chapter waiting to unfold.
