SECRETS AND SCREAMS Ruby And Tracy’s RIVALRY In Emmerdale TAKES DARK TURN As D3@TH PLOT SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL

Emmerdale airs a surprise bust-up for Tracy Robinson and Ruby Miligan next week as they clash over Nate’s tragic d3@th.

Tensions run high at The Woolpack as the villagers wildly speculate over who could have k!lled Nate.

As sly John Sugden manages to keep himself out of the frame, Tracy and Cain Dingle both bitterly accuse each other of being responsible for the terrible crime.

With the pressure mounting on Tracy, and the community divided over whether her and Cain had anything to do with Nate’s demise, tempers quickly boil over.

As Tracy comes face-to-face with former love rival Ruby, who is keeping her own k!ller secret, tension between the women explodes and they end up in a physical fight.

“Tracy wants to prove her innocence,” explains Amy Walsh, who plays her.

“She’s already going through the worst part of her life, coping with her husband’s d3@th, then having it turned around on her and being blamed for it is massive.”

With things looking so bleak, who can Tracy rely on for support?

Nate’s d3@th was finally explained in April, as a flashback scene showed John accidentally k!lling him after a failed attempt to play the hero.

John disposed of Nate’s body in the lake and hoped that it would never be found. No such luck…

Speaking to us earlier in the year, Jurell Carter – who played Nate – explained: “I was told a little while [before leaving] about the plan for Nate. I had a meeting with Sophie Roper, one of the producers at Emmerdale, and she told me the storylines that would happen for my exit. It might sound cheesy, but I had goosebumps in the meeting.

“So I knew about it a while ago. Ever since I heard, I’ve been excited to see it play out.”

Jurell chose to leave Emmerdale of his own accord and show bosses later came up with the shock d3@th plot.

He added: “I spoke to some of my colleagues – including Eden [Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle], who I’m close to. I remember saying: ‘As sad as I am – because I know there’s no going back – it almost gives me more reason just to go full force to the pedal outside of Emmerdale and really give it my all’.

“Once you know there’s no option for a potential return, you think to yourself: ‘Okay, it’s now or never and I need to go for it, full steam ahead, because there’s no safety blanket’.”
