Verity Rushworth says Donna's storyline to get darker.REX/Steve Meddl Emmerdale actress Verity Rushworth has said her character Donna's storyline will get "bigger and darker".
Donna has returned to the village as she is terminally ill and only has a few months to live.
Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is the only person in the village that knows the truth as Donna is reluctant to share her secret.
Rushworth told Daily Star: "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 actress revealed that she was inspired by former Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh following her portrayal of Hayley Cropper's terminal 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."
