In a candid conversation, Emmerdale star Jonny revealed his experience while filming the overwhelming scenes.

The soap star even shared about his lows. He disclosed that while he was not working, he would get thoughts of leaving acting and wanting to run a pub, be a priest, or a farmer at times. The Emmerdale actor expressed that shooting those well-written scenes with Tony and the crew was great. He expressed, “I was driving home, and I was singing in the car thinking: ‘This is fantastic, I just love it.”
