Tracy will be leaving for a while

Emmerdale star Amy Walsh has announced the beautiful news that she is pregnant with her second baby.

The star, who plays Tracy Robinson, announced the news over the weekend. All her co-stars were very quick to congratulate her!

Amy is married to EastEnders actor Toby-Alexander Smith. The couple are already parents to three-year-old Bonnie Mae.

But since Amy revealed she’s due in 2026, this means we are going to be losing Tracy from our screens for a while. So, how will she go? Let’s have a look at all the possible theories.

1. Leaves after truth about Nate is revealed

It’s been bubbling for a while now but the truth about Nate’s death is surely going to be revealed soon.

When Tracy finds out it was John Sugden who killed her husband, she’s bound to struggle to understand everything.

John was the one to help Tracy get through Nate’s funeral. And he also pitted her and Cain against each other. So this revelation is probably going to be a lot.

So perhaps after discovering everything Tracy decides that she can’t stay in the village and heads on her way.

But as the John saga is hopefully ending soon, this may not be the only thing that causes her to leave – as Amy isn’t due until next year.

2. Could Tracy die?

In a shocking turn of events, could Tracy actually die? This would of course only be her exit storyline if Amy wasn’t planning on coming back after her maternity leave.

As for how Tracy would die remains the big question though.

Could the John storyline perhaps not be as over as we all hope it is? And if he took out Nate – he could always go after Nate’s own wife…

3. Mental health crisis forces her to leave?

It’s no secret that Tracy has been struggling with her mental health ever since Nate died.

in recent episodes, she confided in Liam about how she was feeling and he encouraged her to speak to a therapist.

This wouldn’t be the first time Tracy has had some mental health problems. Just after Frankie was born, she faced devastating postnatal depression. 

This caused her to have a breakdown and even spent time in a psychiatric ward.

With everything going on, it wouldn’t be too surprising if Tracy felt that she needed professional help yet again.

4. Another fall-out with Vanessa?

Tracy and her sister Vanessa have had a very turbulent relationship over the years.

Quite often they find something to disagree over and end up at each other’s throats for some time.

So in the aftermath of everything that’s been happening, maybe Vanessa and Tracy find themselves at odds yet again?

And if Tracy feels that she doesn’t have her own sister’s support – could that make her decide to leave the village for a fresh start?

As Emmerdale star Amy Walsh has only just announced she is pregnant, we probably still have a while left with Tracy. But how she leaves will definitely be intriguing.
