Actress Amanda Donohoe is set to leave 'Emmerdale' later this year, after playing Natasha Wylde for nearly two years.
According to Digital Spy, the actress said: "My initial contract with 'Emmerdale' was only for a year so the fact I've stayed for two years is testimony to the show's fantastic cast, crew and producers - Gavin Blyth and Steve November."
A show source said: "We can confirm Amanda Donohoe will be leaving 'Emmerdale' at the end of her current contract."
"Natasha's story has been central to the drama of the show and her departure gives us scope for an explosive climax as the story takes its final twists and turns."
