Amy Walsh's daughter to follow in her footsteps as she bags Emmerdale role
Amy Walsh's baby daughter is set to follow in her mum's footsteps - after bagging a role on Emmerdale.
The actress - who plays Tracy Metcalfe on the ITV soap - is back on the programme following her maternity leave, and in huge scenes, we find out her and Nate have rekindled their relationship and are planning to get married.
As they finally get a chance to tie the knot, they head back into the village to start a new life together, with Tracy planning to turn her hand to opening a nursery for the young people of the Dales and would love to see her own daughter get involved.
Speaking about what's to come in the future for her character, she said: "She’s always looking for the next career move. She thinks it’s a good idea to open up a nursery in the village, so that’s me looking after more kids."
She quipped this would be a perfect way for her own daughter Bonnie to get involved in the filming too.

Tracy and Nate are back together"It’ll be fun. I’ve actually asked if Bonnie can be an extra. Then I could see her a bit more! I don’t think that would be wise though," she revealed of having her little one on set with her as one of the children in the nursery.
Amy also revealed she is looking forward to seeing Tracy back with Nate.
She said: "It’ll be fun though. It’ll be nice to see. Tracy moved away to Nottingham for work and she got a passion for being successful and this is just another venture she’s taken herself on, whether it works or not is another matter.
"She’s going to put her heart and soul in it. She’s just gonna put her heart and soul into it; she’s so much about creating a future for Frankie that she didn’t have and I think that’s really nice to see. It’s literally my work life echoing my home life."
Amy previously revealed she didn't leave the house for months after the arrival of her daughter.
"I didn’t leave the house for eight months, barely, and if I did, it’d be a couple of hours close by so I could rush home if she needed me. Everyone was telling me, 'Once you get to six months you’ll be fine', but at six months it was still really hard," she said.
"I did a postnatal depression storyline as Tracy while I was pregnant and did loads of research, but I still didn’t know what I was walking into. I was like, 'Wow, this is hard'. It’s not to say we didn’t enjoy the first eight months, we’ve just found it a bit tougher."
