Emmerdale Donna story gets darker, says Verity Rushworth



Emmerdale star Verity Rushworth has promised that her emotional storyline will get "bigger and darker".

The actress is currently featuring in sad scenes as her character Donna Windsor is terminally ill and only has a few months left to live.



Donna has so far only confided in Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) about the situation, and is reluctant to tell anyone else the truth for the time being.

Rushworth told the of the story's future: "It changes gear and spirals into real intense drama. It gets bigger and darker than just Donna being ill. It gets much more thrilling.

"It's kind of to do with her working in the police where she is put in a situation. I can't say much more but viewers will love it."



The 28-year-old also revealed that she has been inspired by former Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh following her portrayal of Hayley Cropper's pancreatic cancer storyline.

Rushworth said: "Julie had to lose a lot of weight and I know that's one of the symptoms of Donna's rare lung cancer, mesothelioma, so I am thinking about that too. It won't be easy now I am back eating my mum's Yorkshire puddings!

"We don't know yet whether Donna will die on screen though, but Julie definitely inspired me to do this well."
