Powles - Find Holly's big storyline challenging

'Emmerdale' star Sophie Powles has said that she found it tough to film her character Holly's recent storyline.

Speaking to Soaplife, the actress said that the drug addiction plot has drained her.

She said: "It’s fantastic as an actress to have such a big storyline. But it’s hard at times."

"When I get home after work I ask my boyfriend to make me laugh because I've been crying all day!"

"I’ve learned through research that people from all walks of life become addicted. Those who've had terrible childhoods and those, like Holly, who come from a good family."

"The only clue is that she has an addictive personality. Once she tried drugs, she couldn't just take or leave them."
