Emmerdale kicks off Tracy Metcalfe's dark new storyline tonight (February 19) as she gets blackmailed by handyman Phil.

Tracy was spooked recently when Phil hinted that they shared a mystery connection, leaving her wondering where he might know her from.

In tonight's Emmerdale episode, Phil finally reveals his true colours by warning Tracy that he knows about her past as a prostitute.

Tracy finally remembers Phil as one of her former clients and dreads the possibility that her husband David could soon find out the truth.

Sure enough, Phil is quick to exploit this fear by demanding £1,000 in exchange for his silence over their past.

Phil even has an incriminating video and warns that he'll show it to David unless Tracy complies with his demands.

Amy Walsh, who plays Tracy, recently revealed: "Tracy's reaction is horror and dread. The biggest thing I had to play in these episodes was Tracy's fear of losing everything. She's always looking over her shoulder anyway. She's always been waiting for the rug to be pulled from underneath her.

"Phil has got footage of Tracy on his phone and he plays it to her. She's forced to watch and listen to it. It's harrowing. Tracy is so vulnerable in that moment and it's a 'fight or flight' situation."

Amy added: "I think Tracy's streetwise mentality comes back. She'd softened it because she's in the comfort of the village now, but her fighter instincts come back.

"Tracy has to do what she has to do, so that she doesn't lose everything."

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
