“Emmerdale Made It Very Easy For Me” Says Star Laura Norton
Emmerdale star Laura Norton is back at work and is set to grace our screens. Her character, Kerry Wyatt, made her comeback in the most dramatic way- and attire! However, in real life, Laura Norton was on maternity leave, welcoming her daughter Ronnie with partner Mark Jordon.
Viewers must recall that Kerry exited Emmerdale in 2022 after the death of lover, AI Chapman. Now she is back, but why does a police officer accompany her? It’s due to a stealing charge. Let us see what happens next! In a recent interview, Laura commended Emmerdale for facilitating her return to work by easing things out.

She confessed to frequently checking her phone during the first few days of filming Emmerdale to ensure her kids were taken care of. However, as time passed, Laura gradually grew more reassured. She was certain she could fully focus on her work with this peace of mind.
According to the actress, transitioning back into Kerry’s character was her next challenge, but she didn’t find it daunting. She recalled, “Every Emmerdale department made it very easy for me: the script, the story, the writing, and then the costume, and the wig.”
The soap star even shared her worries regarding her acting abilities as she resumed work after a significant hiatus. But she felt immensely relieved upon effortlessly slipping back into Kerry’s shoes. When questioned about catching up on Emmerdale plots during her absence, Laura mentioned that her mother’s duties often caused her to fall behind.
