Up Next, we have some exciting news for Emmerdale fans! Daisy Campbell, who recently bid farewell to her role as Amelia Spencer on the popular ITV soap, is making a comeback in a new project. She will be teaming up with Rocking Horse Media to star in a hard-hitting drama called Storm, where she will be playing the lead role of Lacey Dean.
In an Instagram video, Daisy revealed that her character Lacey was also a child star on a soap opera, but that is where the similarities between her and Lacey end. She explained that Lacey had suffered abuse at the hands of a co-star who had previously been accused of the same crime. When the co-star is nominated for a lifetime achievement award, Lacey must decide whether to take the money offered to pay tribute to him, or expose his abuse.
Daisy also hinted that the rest of the cast for the drama will consist entirely of soap stars, but kept the details under wraps. She expressed her excitement and privilege at being chosen to play this role, especially because the story sheds light on a serious and harrowing issue - historical abuse. The script was written four years ago and, while it is fictional, it is based on real-life experiences of innocent people.
The actress takes her responsibility as the face of this project seriously and has already met with survivors of historical abuse to understand their stories better. She also mentioned that she will be meeting more survivors in the future. Daisy is thrilled for what's to come in 2025, following her exit from Emmerdale.
In a previous interview, Daisy had expressed her interest in taking on new projects and exploring different genres, like urban dramas or period pieces. She is open to being challenged and molded into any character, and her passion for acting shines through her words.
Daisy has portrayed the role of Amelia on Emmerdale since 2011, and has been involved in some significant storylines, including a teenage pregnancy. She left the show just before Christmas to live with her biological father, after Tom King's sentencing. Daisy was emotional about Mark's return to the show and felt that it was a fitting ending for her character, who had always put others before herself.
